The Chin Swee Caves Temple (清水岩廟) is a Taoist temple in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. It was a rainy day yet gave it an even duffused light with the reflection on yhe wet floor
A large Buddha statue sits on a mountain edge in the Genting Highlands in Pahang, Malaysia, amongst tropical jungle. The 28- acre site was donated by the Genting Group founder, Tan Sri Lim, along with RM 8.1 million to build a Taoist temple: the Chin Swee Caves Temple. Built at 4,600-metres above sea level, it was difficult to use modern building equipment for construction, prolonging the build for 18 years. It was completed in March 1994.
The Buddha is the final statue along the ten chambers of hell path. Each chamber is represented by gruesome storytelling statues hidden in the cave recesses. This is one of the many attractions at the Chin Swee Caves Temple complex.
Swee'Pea is notoriously hard to keep track of. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Moss Beach, California.
These are the cutest little birds - I wish she'd been on a more interesting perch but couldn't resist sharing anyway. We only saw a couple of these Swee waxbills in amongst the other small birds feeding in the grass but I think they were one of the highlights for me.

Waxbills are tiny, colourful finches about the size of blue tits. The swee waxbill is a sexually dimorphic species, with the male having a black mask. I find the bills with a red lower mandible and black upper mandible fascinating.

A Kelong (sometimes spelt Kellong) is a Malay word to describe a form of offshore platform built predominantly with wood, and can be found in kunji mairea]], the Philippines and Indonesia, while only a handful remains around Singapore due to rapid urbanisation.
Kelongs are built by fishermen primarily for fishing purposes, although larger structures can also function as dwellings for them and their families. They are built without the need for nails, using rattan to bind tree trunks and wooden planks together. Anchored into the sea bed using wooden piles of about 20 metres in length and driven about 6 metres into the sea, they are usually sited in shallow water, although some can be found in deeper waters. Some kelongs are less isolated, and are connected to land via a wooden gangway. Other variants of Kelongs can be mobile, or may involve a large groups of Kelongs joined together into a massive offshore community.

This building the Saw Swee new Students Centre at the London School of Economics was the last I visited on the Sunday afternoon of Open House Weekend. It has been in the news a lot this week as the building was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize in Architecture. The building was opened only in January 2014.
This is part of the central spiral staircase believed to be the largest concrete staircase cast in place in Europe, Another one added to my collection. This was a pre-book location and we received a detailed 40 minute tour of the building with some fascinating information. The outside looks like an exercise in origami in brick and the inside has been carefully designed for minimum energy use
The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 15mm. Taken handheld. 3 raw images 2EV spacing. I used only the middle image and created a false HDR because even at 800 ISO the longer of the 3 exposures resulted in too much camera shake due to the low light levels.
Outputted in Photomatrix to fusion real estate.
Photoshop
Extra Detail was brought in with Topaz Adjust relative contrast. Topaz denoise used.
I used levels and then selective saturation with a mask to bring down a red hue in the concrete.
