Daily Photo – Pekan Teluk Bahang 2

Here’s another shot of the beach at Pekan Teluk Bahang, Penang, Malaysia. If you take a look at my other photo of Pekan Teluk Bahang, you can see these two boats behind the buoy flags of the boat in the foreground. It’s no so obvious that it’s raining in this image.

Daily Photo – Pekan Teluk Bahang

I still have vague memories of the day I took off to ride around the island. I took off in an anti-clockwise direction from Georgetown staying as much as possible to the coastal road through Tanjong Bungah (don’t know what Tanjong means but Bungah means ‘flowers’) and Batu Feringgi (which translates as ‘Foreigner’s Rock’) before pitching up an Pekan Teluk Bahang (Teluk Bahang means ‘Bay of the Heat Wave’, no idea what Pekan means or if google maps is even correct).

Daily Photo – 12th Street Lifeguard Station

Miami beach is dotted with these wonderful Lifeguard stations. They’re named for the streets that would intersect the ocean if extended that far. That way, if there’s an emergency, it’s pretty easy to say where you are located. Each shack appears to be different in overall design and decoration.

Daily Photo – South Beach Friday Morning

South Beach, Miami, on a Friday morning at around 9:30. Having sauntered south on Ocean Drive to about 12th street I decided to head out to the beach a shade under 500 feet from the hotels and restaurants. Being 9:30am on a regular Friday there were not many people on the beach but the Boucher Brothers crews had been hard at work laying out sun loungers and umbrellas in anticipation of crowds to come.

Daily Photo – Snorkeling

Back in the late 80′s when I made this trip, I couldn’t swim. It would be another couple of months before I learned – spurred on in part by not being able to go snorkeling or diving in these waters. It seemed everyone was having so much fun! As a toddler, I almost drowned and had to be rescued by me father. If it hadn’t been for my brother who was three at the time who ran off to tell my father that I’d fallen into the water tank, I’d probably have drowned.

Daily Photo – Koh Phi Phi Ley

I’m going to go out on a limb with the name of this photo. I’m about 80% sure it’s somewhere on Koh Phi Phi Ley and not Koh Phi Phi Don. I didn’t note the distinction on the notes on my slide label on this one. I’m also going to guess that I took this from a boat, by virtue of the deeper blue at the bottom of the frame. The shallow water is that lovely aqua color while the deeper water is a colder blue.

Daily Photo – Fishing Boats off Phi Phi Island

I can’t actually place where I took this photo but I’m thinking it’s more likely Koh Phi Phi Ley than Koh Phi Phi Don, largely because the photos around it in my collection show all the hallmarks of having been taken from a moving small boat – horizons far from level! I think this image shows the vertical scale of the limestone outcrops that form these islands.

If you’re stuck in your office and it’s grey/cold/wet or otherwise unpleasant or dull, then kick back and imagine you’re on this beach with your favorite companions and favorite beverage! You can hear the waves rippling on the beach, smell the salt air, feel a light breeze – paradise!. This is a view of Loh Dalam Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don.
