Kota Kinabalu

Yea, I had never heard of it either.  It is in the state of Sabah in Malaysia. It is a small (~600,000k population) city on the island of Borneo. Borneo is also the third largest island in the world. It covers approximately 750k sq/kms.  While there is a world renowned orangatan reserve, we didn’t make it over there. We chose a nice relaxing weekend by the pool and enjoyed cocktails at the sunset bar.

Today’s shot is of that Sunset Bar – tomorrow I’ll post one of the sunset that we saw.

Sunset and vineyards and mountains

Hi all – I’m sending this from our new digs (temporary housing) from our new country (way down under).  Couldn’t be more excited to be down here and having new opportunities to travel and take photos.  We (the other half of Paul Rin) have been plotting and scheming on new places to travel.  We are proposing a new project – Beaches of the South Pacific – and yes, that’s just a great reason to get me to more beaches…

Today’s photo goes back to last spring and to Yakima.  We are still unclear on what mountain that is in the distance, but pretty sure it’s Mount Rainier. This photo was taken at about 8:30 PM, as the spring day was winding down.  Looking forward to more very different vineyard lands in the near future.
