Two Rocks

Two Rocks
Digging deep into the archives as I update this photoblog sporadically till I finish my exams (in 17 days’ time!)…

This is a wider view of the “face-rock” (seagull’s nest included) featured in my previous post. I had some trouble recalling the name of the place after visiting it in 2003. Dad had told me that it was called Two Rocks but a search on Google in the past found no information on this landmark except descriptions of a region in Western Australia of the same name. I wasn’t fully convinced of the Two Rocks name till I finally found confirmation here.

Face Off

Face Off
This was taken along one of the beaches of Western Australia as my dad and I headed north of Perth (towards the Pinnacles Desert) during our trip there in November 2003. The face-like shape of the rock was already interesting on its own right. Little did we realise that the “hair” was home to a nest of seagulls! I caught this shot of one of the gulls “facing-off” with the rock, a big print of which now hangs decorating the wall in my bedroom 🙂

Update 25 Sep 2007: This picture has been entered in the latest Photo Friday Challenge titled “The Beach”. Please vote for me if you like this shot 🙂

Hay

Hay
The recent images by pfong on Western Australia brought back memories of my 2003 trip there…

Farmscapes of hay fields are common for many living in big countries with temperate weather, but are impossible sights in hot and humid Singapore. I have always dreamt of taking pictures of these hay fields especially after seeing the works of others on the Net. This dream was finally answered during my visit to Western Australia in November 2003. Actually, I didn’t really go out in search for such a scene, but just happened to chance upon it while driving through the rural suburbs with my dad. We just had to stop the car and take some pictures! This was taken by the road-side next to an Australian farm.
