Contrary to what many of you folks may think, I do not like to carry DSLRs most of the time. They are big, they are heavy, they are cumbersome, and they attract attention when you do not want it. In short, they can be a real pain sometimes.
Unfortunately for me, I need them because of their ability to produce really great quality images which lesser cameras are not able to. Fortunately for you, you can always expect the best quality images from me
Shameless plug aside, I have recently acquired a new toy. It is a small point and shoot camera! Believe me when I tell you this little fella packs a powerful punch when it comes to photography. It’s picture quality is impressive for a camera this small, and it feels really good in my hands. Apparantly, this camera has reached “cult status” in Japan!
I think I will bring this little guy out everywhere I go from now. Snap snap here, snap snap there.. yummy…
Here are some snaps that I took with this little guy to share with you…
Some textures…

We decided to spend our last day at Interlaken doing something a little more exciting. First, an early morning train ride to the Jungfraujoch, or as it is more commonly known “Top of Europe”. The train ride took us through the mountains, and continued its upward journey till we reached the final train station. I really take my hats off the workers who laid the tracks in freezing weather almost a century ago! It was a lesiurely 2.5 hour ride up, with 2 stops in between. As we got higher, the view got more fantastic!
Interlaken is famous for her snow sports and we saw several ski stations along the way.
We met a couple from Korea along the trip and guess what? They were on their honeymoon as well! We hit it off right away and had some fun together taking photos of each other and for each other as well. They are a really friendly and nice couple. We had some language difficulty but it was a blast trying to guess what each of us are trying to say!
And towards the evening, Ivy and I both tried something that we have never tried before.. paragliding!! We saw so many paragliders during our stay at Interlaken that we decided to give it a try. After all, it looks really easy and.. how hard can it be??
Well, I started to have second thoughts the moment I reached the launching place and looked in front of me. This was what I saw…
We ran down a slope and the wind caught the chute behind us, lifting us off the ground. Take off!!! I’ll never forget the adrenaline rush as we got liftted up and off the ground. You can see all of Interlaken at the top and everything seemed so small! I learned from Benny that one would have to be an expert at reading wind directions and to manipulate it so that you can go where you want to go, and not where the wind takes you. We spent about 12 minutes up on the air, and I finally know what birds see from the sky. The red parachute you see above, at the bottom right was Ivy’s
Btw, we did not do it ourselves but were strapped in a seat with the instructor behind us!
