Top 20 Photos of 2013 - #8

#8


The more I look at this image the more I love it. I had wanted to snap a picture of the cable car that ascends and descends the slopes of Genting Highlands. Unwittingly I also captured the other modes of transport that operate in getting people up and down Genting Highlands - bus, car, taxi. Genting is famous for hotels, the casino and the theme park, among others, in addition to refreshingly cool temperatures. In this photo you can really get a sense of the incline on this steep and winding road. It is also very dangerous, particularly at night and in wet conditions. Shortly after our visit here, a bus full of people tragically lost control while descending, and fell down a ravine, resulting in a number of fatalities. This photo stands as a reminder of the real perils of the road to Genting Highlands. You can never be too careful.

    This is reminiscent of the roads in Norway.
    Man sitting and holding convulsively in bilhandtaget until you are up
    settled down well even worse.
    Yes you see how loud it is and how it is leaning.
    Nicely photographed.

    What a stroke of luck Duncan, your timing was perfect. Such a tragedy about the bus, you don't expect that when you set off on a trip!

    This is truly one in a million shot. At glance it makes me wonder if the cable car is going to hit the bus or vice versa. Extremely nice composition.
