trip to Explanade, Luak Bay

It has been ages since the last time I update my blog. Few reasons

1. I don’t have camera with me over here in Malacca. Not even a compact camera.

2.I don’t have my own transport to go around Malacca.

3.Most important reason is, I don’t have the feel, the mood, and the urge.

I always have a lot of ideas to shoot the scene around Malacca whenever I went around the historical city. Only ideas, no action. At the same time, I am also looking forward to own myself a Nikon D90 or future Nikon DSLR. Too bad, I still don’t have any savings in bank.

Luckily, the urge and interest in photography does not disappear with times.


Two weeks ago, I went back to Miri for a short break. Every time, when i come back, i will go to Luak Bay at least once, because there is a beach here called Expalande and also along the road, there are a lot of big houses.

of coz i would waste the chance to snap some photos when i got here.

even though these photos doesn't look that great as compare to the professional photographer, i'm still very satisfied with my product. Addition, i found that the photos look nicer when u tilt a bit. it looks more attractive, not so boring.

it gives a different feeling when u tilt a bit on the angle right?


i went to the beach around two in the afternoon. that is the reason why the beach looks so empty. normally it is packed during the weekend with people walking along the beach, fly a kite, etc.

Sunset at Esplanade also make this beach a perfect place to date during the evening. long beach with wide angle of view. Miri is one of the few places in Malaysia where u can find the sun really sink through the horizon.

As a Mirian, i am proud with the beaches here. Too bad, after Miri has turned into a city in year 2005, the development in Miri seems to be in a pause condition. When i was in miri during my holiday, i found that Miri is again turnning into a village gradually, with a messy and untidy landscape along the road.
i'm wondering how Miri can continue to be known as a Tourism City if they still continue with the current condition.

Is Esplanade the current main attractive beach in Miri now? How about the Taman Selera? It's so sad that now we can't walk along the beach anymore. The sea water seems to almost cover up the sandy beach. ;( Feel so nice to be able to see some photos from home. Tx.

michelle, till now i can't get any other sunset better than the one here at explanade.

jassyman, i think sooner explanade will take over taman selera, but dont forget there is another nice beach - luting beach! really too bad that both these beaches are in progress in losing their sand!
