I’m Back from Sabah - Meet Jackie

Will post some pictures soon, gotta get all the clothes to the laundry and tidy up the house a bit, load up all the photos (lucky my PSD has Firewire!) and a few other things I need to do.

Just a taster - Meet Jackie.

Meet Jackie

Jackie is a fairly domesticated Orang-Utan in Sabah near to Mount Kinabalu. She comes out of the forest every day to eat fruits from the hands of a few selected people.

She was released into the wild 18 years ago along with 6 other juvenile Orang-Utans - they all disappeared into the thick forest but Jackie comes back without fail.

She loves human attention and beetlenut!

For those that know photography, this was taken at 48 mm focal length - so you can imagine how close I was.

Will update as soon as I can. Enjoy the holiday today.

In the shadow of Kinabalu!

Just reached Kinabalu Pine Lodge, had a shower and backed up the days pictures to my nifty Nexto Di PSD. It's pretty cool here, literally not figuratively speaking. There's no need for aircon and the small fan isn't switched on.

Looking forwards to some nice steamboat for dinner to warm me up! The lodge is good, the mountain peak is just right outside the window towering above us.

It's good to remeber Malaysia has world class beauty and wildlife too. Don't always go looking abroad. Flying back to KL tomorrow evening tho, then it's back to reality.

Will definitely visit this region again for white water rafting and to climb the mountain.
