An enchanted late afternoon on the hills...

Last Saturday, on a late afternoon, we decided to go for a ride up the hills just to catch a breather of fresh air due to the heat in Raub. So, we drove to Fraser's Hills and came back within the hour, thanks to the one-way up and the-other-way down system that they have now...

tiny mushrooms on the moss covered bark of a pine trees...

 Flowers of a epiphytic Medinella.

 Another distant "cousin" of the Straits Rhododendron

 view under a pine grove

 the moon visible in the evening sky


under the shadow of the tree fern

 looking down the valley from the east side...the way down

 a Lesser Racquet Tail Drongo perched high on a dead branch

 view of the valley and beyond under a silvery sky


The magnificent peaks of the Benom Range in sight - the highest peak in view is Mount Benom at over 2000M.
