Top Ten Photos of 2014

2014 was not such an adventuresome year for us as previous years have been. We did jet off to Kuching for a family visit, and enjoyed a couple of trips to KL, but that was about it. My top ten photos this year are exclusively from Kuantan and KL, and involve more people in the shots.


#10
A close-up of a colourful head used by the Chinese for lion dances during Chinese New Year


#9
Shot this beautiful landscape scene at the gorgeous orchid garden in Kuala Lumpur. I love the leafy frame and the vibrant purple orchids in the background


#8
My favourite shot of the girls from 2014


#7
My parents came to visit us in March 2014. I cheated a little bit with this one, as it wasn't me who took the photo, but I directed my wife as to how I wanted it done, and she didn't disappoint! The waves and the beautiful rocks of Teluk Chempedak complement this photo nicely

#6
Our annual Christmas e-postcard was a real favourite in 2014 due to its colour and creativity. Having all 4 of us smiling nicely for the camera really helps a lot, too!


#5
View of the main entrance of Kuala Lumpur's The Majestic Hotel. Snapped this photo on Malaysia's National Day at around 7:30am


#4
That poor stone buddha! The tripod-cum-weapon! The look of hatred on my dad's face! This is a family photo that will live long in the memory


#3
A combination of four shots of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Just magnificent buildings, a photographer's dream


#2
Walking around the butterfly park in Kuala Lumpur in the sweltering heat, searching for that special photo. I think I found it with this dainty little dragonfly


#1
My favourite family photo is also the top photo of the year 2014. I carried out 4 chairs to the field behind our house, found a nice scenic spot, set up the tripod and timer, and out came this fantastic picture of our family. Couldn't be happier with it!
This is my favourite photo of 2014!

Parting the Curtains - KL Gallery #8



Having slightly parted the curtains at Vistana Hotel KL one morning, the KL Tower appeared to view. Bordered by two sets of curtains in the foreground, it stands high on the KL skyline.

Petronas Twin Towers - KL Gallery #5




There is no better sight in KL than the iconic Petronas Twin Towers illuminated magnificently at night. I could spend the whole night staring up at this architectural and structural wonder. Breathtaking!

Prayers for MH370 - KL Gallery #4






At the entrance of Sunway Pyramid lies this place to write and hang prayers for crew, passengers and family associated with the tragic disappearance of flight MH370 which was bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, but never arrived. 

Sometimes prayers go unanswered, but never unheard.

In the shadow of a new development, the Petronas Twin Towers remain the focal point of KL and serve to inspire further construction. As the banner below the monorail track says, "Life Never Stops."
