Melaka River Cruise

We were waiting for Nian You and his sister to arrive. It's ashame he could not make it in time. It left us no choice but to hop into the boat without them.



The boat ride cost RM5 each, and it took us around 45 minutes for the cruise on the Melaka River.



What amazed me is that the city council actually renovate and beautify the buildings along the river. It's really a mega project.



The Menara Taming Sari was supposed to be built next to the Watermill. When they were digging the soil for foundation, they found some artifacts left by the Portugese in the 15th 16th 17th a few centuries back ( man I suck in history >.< ). Thus, the Menara Taming Sari is relocated to where it is now.

I wonder if Jack Sparrow is inside that ship... hmmm...



The sky was clear, I was admiring the view and busy snapping the pictures while the boat was moving.



And, I realized that taking picture with a limited light source on a moving object is very very challenging. Luckily some of the pictures I took are presentable :P

I love night scene photography, but yeah, its challenging by snapping pictures hand-held.

It is darn rewarding to see the colors come out bright out of the silent darkness that is enveloping them. The glow somehow gives the warm fuzzy feeling, dun u agree?
