This little bird.....
I was doing some shooting in the KLCC garden yesterday when this little fella distracted me and my subject ! So I turned around and just snapped it instinctively taking off with a bread crumb. After a while , it came back to show itself !

PARA-GLIDERS !
This guy was demonstrating how safe it is to para-glide. While in flight, he cut off his engine and was gliding to a landing ---safely of course !
Real or Toy ?
This shot of a remote-controlled helicopter was taken about 200-250 metres away. The controller was performing stunt flights where he would spin and roll the helicopter as if it has a mind of its own. Amazing display !

FIRE AND RAIN - JAMES TAYLOR
I just mentioned the song "Time in a Bottle' by Jim Croce in my comment to AsH's posting ---and that got me thinking of other singers and James Taylor came to my mind --- on of the best guitar-plucking singers then... My favourite ? 'Fire and Rain "
2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010
So- on a Saturday afternoon I decided to go to the above fiesta on the Saturday night , hoping to catch the firework display as well. But as luck would have it, the dark gloomy sky in the evening told me to stay away ! So the plan is now to go there on early Sunday morning !
This I did ! It was a nice morning drive and the clear MEX ( Maju Expressway) was too much of a temptation to not cruise at 180-190 kmph and adventuring to 200 kmph at times ! Oh well --- the road was so clear, the weather was so cool and my mood was sooo goood !
Soon I was approaching one of the bridges and was becoming hard to contain the excitement as the balloons were in sight --- big, massive colourful bubbles floating in the air !
Then the first downer !!! Looking for a car-park . Had to make a few rounds before I 'discovered' this parking lot ! The picture will tell more about this.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the day ! Its got everything a photographer wants except for bright sunshine. Its only after a few shots I remembered to play round with the white balance !!
I used up close to 1.2 Gb. of my memory card for the photos and it took quite a bit to select . Anyway I have categoriaed to three groups. The Airborne, the People and the Photographers and they will be posted separately.

THE AIRBORNE !!
Guess where I parked my ride ?
The well-known GoodYear blimp ! Big ha ? Well look at the next photo!
On the ground - just slightly bigger than a car !---and I think its remote-controlled !
The next group of photos will be on People ( my favourite actually !)
