I happily blogged about day one of my Krabi trip without realizing that i have missed out one posting; the eyes in the sky which is literally photographs taken when i am in the plane!
The bird's eye view of the land beneath us has always been spectacular and i pray for a window seat every single time i check in to the airport; yes, i am too stingy to pay extra for a specific seat.
What i love to do after downloading the photographs to my computer is to open up google map and see if i can identify the places via their satellite view! It can take me ages sometimes as i have to pick my brain on the path undertaken by the pilot and it can be confusing!
This was easy to find; Krabi Power Plant.
Pilot was flying above the mainland instead of by the sea; the latter would have resulted in more scenic photographs as the former was just filled with swathes of greenery, likely palm plantations and / or agricultural land.
Although i lived in the village when i was a kid; i doubt i am able to get accustomed to kampong life should i need to retreat to non-urbanised district as I dislike squat toilet, scared of the dark and display high sensitivity to the surroundings!
In addition to the noticeable descent; one hint that you have reached Krabi would be the line of islands appearing on the horizon of our left.
Nuea Khlong, a district near the Krabi Airport and the one that stands out from the photo would be the 12-storey pagoda on the left which belongs to the Chengchui Chosukong Shrine.
Time lapsed video taken of the landing!
The pictures before the above were taken when we landed at Krabi International Airport from Singapore and the photographs henceforth were shot on our way back to Singapore!
Again; the Chengchui Chosukong Shrine and the limestone hills dotting the landscape.
That glow on the horizon was mesmerizing and as it was only about 4.30 pm; i was wondering if there's any strange phenomenon happening at that area.
From the above picture, it's almost like the islands were mountain peaks with thick, pillow clouds shrouded around them! I can recognise one of the islands which has that iconic chicken head-like natural structure.
Guess it's the angle of the sun which is shining on that particular patch of the sea. While it looked stunning for us on the plane, i wondered how would it look like if you are on any of the islands hit by the rays?
Low tide! I have always wanted to walk all the way to the water edge when it's low tide as the things to be found can be a lot more interesting which might include seashells and other marine creatures.
Last two photos of the glowing sea!
