Travel : Kota Belud district, Sabah (Part 2)


A fisherman prepare his net to be casted into the coming waves.


"Pak Cik, lets call it a day will ya? Dah nak Maghrib dah ni. Mak Cik dan anak-anak kat rumah tak sabar nak rasa ikan yang Pak Cik tangkap kan?"



The sun setting as gentle waves wash ashore at this little known fine beach about 25 km from Kota Belud town.


Hanging bridge are plenty in Sabah, especially in Kota Belud and Tamparuli district. Mind you, this bridge is tough. Got the guts to cross it?


Shallow river, plenty of fish. But bewarn, age old strict local rules, called 'bombon' only allow fishing during certain times in a year to help breed young fish . This is a very effective yet simple nature conservation done by the local communities.

[ All photos with Nikon D70s with Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens attached with circular polariser. Camera setting mostly were 'Aperture Priority' and picture setting sometimes 'Neutral' and sometimes 'Landscape' to capture natural yet vivid colours]
