Up Gunung Brinchang on a sunny December morning...the vista from 6600 feet above sea level

On a clear sunny morning, the most spetacular views can be had from atop Gunung Brinchang at 6666 feet above sea level - reached through a punishing and narrow drive up Gunung Brinchang's trail-road used by the communication tower. Not recommended unless your car has good absorbers and the car is working perfectly, especially the wheel. Drivers without experience on winding and hilly terrains should avoid trying this road as it is really a dangerous road, especially if it rains where the danger of landslide is ever present on the sensitive and high slopes...

 Scarring of the lower valleys from human activities...

 They continue for miles and miles, extending beyond the Bertam valley on the Pahang side...

At the Mossy Jungle trail...

The reason for the recent disasters brewing down below at the lower valleys- indiscriminate clearing of land for agricultural activities on sensitive highlands...which sadly continues to march on despite uproars from all quarters: the evil of "now money" against future needs.

Wild Boar hunt...

I was in my usual photographing along an abandonned logging trail when a group of Orang Asli passed by on their motorbikes and a pack of dogs - something looked strange on one of the motorbikes and it turned out to be a dead wild pig...

They dismounted the pig from their motorbike when crossing the small stream...

Promenade at Besançon last September...

Probably the last time for me at Besançon for a long long time ahead, I took some photos along the path that I usually take...

MacD banking on the French culture of quality food - making burgers with French beef (they used the famous Limousin and the Montbéliard race of cows) 

End the day with one of my favourite dishes: a moules frites at Rive Gauche, a simple bistrot beside the Doubs River.
