Last July, my visit to UK coincided with the Tall Ships visit at the Albert Dock, Liverpool. One of the crew seen here enjoyed her relaxing moment on the deck of a ship. What a quiet moment despite of noisy thousands visitors at the dock!
I had another opportunity of visiting St. Andrews in late autumn. This recent trip of mine I decided to explore the harbour area. It was a brilliant afternoon. As seen here, the location is quite popular among the tourist. I love the good contrast of afternoon light. The visual impact of the image further enhanced by the extreme colour contrast of the lighting condition. “Glorious Twilight Of St Andrews” is another colourful image of St Andrews that captured by me at a different season within this year.
In 1955, the Bandung Conference, the first Asian-African Conference was held in Bandung. Head of states representing twenty-nine countries and colonies from Asia and Africa attended the Conference. The conference venue was the Gedung Merdeka, the former Concordia Society building.
After my involvement of the INDONESIA PHOTOWEEK II – 2008 Seminar at the Gedung Merdeka, I had the opportunity of strolling around the Historical Asia-Afrika Street of Bandung.
I realize that this area actually is very colourful and vibrant even on a Sunday morning.
As shown here, one of art shop proprietor is busy displaying his collections for the sale of the day.
Obviously, Bandung renowned in the large stock of Dutch colonial architecture; most notably the tropical Art Deco architectural style, has a great influence in the art development of the city.
