Camera Critters: Night Safari Fish

Cannot remember what fish these were, but I took them on the visit to the Night Safari in Singapore last year.

My World Tuesday: The Falkirk Wheel and Helix Project

The Falkirk Wheel is situated at Rough Castle near Falkirk, and is the worlds only Boat Lift. Constructed for the Millennium Link Project and completed in 2002, the Wheel is designed to connect the Forth and Clyde Canals with the Union Canal. Also down by the Wheel is the Helix Project which is symbolized by the two Horses or Kelpies Sculpture in the foreground of the second photo.

You can find out how to visit the Wheel at Falkirk Wheel and the Helix Project at their website

Camera Critters: Dog being Bathed on Palawan Beach

I took this photograph of a dog being washed by his family whilst on Sentosa Islands' Palawan Beach last year.

Here is the shot I took in 2009 when it was hazy:
