    Mount Kinabalu | Explore, Dream, Discover

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | Sunrise From Low’s Peak of Mount Kinabalu | Sabah “You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place ? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.” – Rene Dauma – “The pleasure of risk is in…

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | Climbers at Mount Kinabalu | Sabah | 24 mm f/2.8 Actually I really have nothing much to write about but since you are here, I might share with you my camera equipment that I brought during my recent Mount Kinabalu trip.

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | Family Outing at Kuala Penyu Beach | Sabah Malaysia North Borneo Sometimes it pays to keep it simple when photographing people.

The photograph of me with my children is taken by my wife.

    Travel and Photography | Once Upon a Time In Kota Belud | Sabah

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | Kota Belud Countryside | Rice Field | Sabah | Malaysia North Borneo “I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why thunder lasts longer than that which causes it, and why immediately on its creation the lightning becomes visible to the eye while thunder requires time to travel. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone and why a bird sustains itself in the air.
