Fish Trap in Tondano, Sulawesi

My internet connection fault has not been rectified by Telekom Malaysia yet. So I am posting old photos that I have uploaded to my Picasa Web Albums but has never posted on my blog.

This structure can be seen floating near the beach at Tondano, northern Sulawesi. It is a fish trap. I don't know whether it is effective to catch big fishes but this structure is definitely an interesting object to capture, especially during sunrise when it's silhoutte looks fascinating against the bright sun.

Sekinchan - Fishing Boat

We took a 1.5 hour drive up north to the coastal fishing town of Sekinchan on a Sat two weeks ago. Our intention was to feast on its local seafood and the well-known Buddha Jump Over the Wall soup. The trip was really worthwhile. Not only we had good food, we also visited the jetty, beach and most of all, it was my first trip to a paddy field! Here's a monochrome photo of the fishing boat at the jetty.

Happy Monochrome Monday! Do visit Monochrome Monday's site for more photos.

Sky Watch Fri - A Storm Brewing

We were at the beach in Sekinchan and saw the gloomy sky turning darker and the rough waves of the murky sea water. After a brief moment, it started to drizzle.

ABC Wednesday - 'J' is for Jetty

This posting is for the ABC Wednesday's meme. Today's posting is photo of a 'Jetty' to represent the letter 'J'.

This Jetty is located at Tanjung Sepat. It was mid-day and some fisherman boats have just returned from the sea with their catch of the day. As it is also a Saturday, we can see some boys with their fishing rods at the jetty enjoying their hobby.

Tanjung Sepat - Fishermen

At the Tanjung Sepat Jetty, we managed to catch some fishermen returning from the sea with their bounty. The fresh fishes were then lifted onto motorbikes that deliver them to the town's fishballs producer. This town is very famous for its fishballs!
