Wild Mushroom at Telaga Tujuh

Wild Mushroom by Yuhui at Telaga Tujuh

Picture of the day. Simple subject such as mushroom can be a great subject in the eyes of photographer. Langkawi is famous for its wildlife & nature. Even at the areas not far from human yet you can see how diversify nature is..

Thanks for the picture Yuhui.. More picture from her here.

Comment from her :

the Langkawi trip is ok, not a shopping paradise, but probably a good place to just relax.  

Atop A Waterfall B&W

Atop A Waterfall

Picture of the day. A picture of a waterfall in Langkawi. I think this is Telaga Tujuh Waterfall during low raining season. Its not a good time to swim or having fun. Anyway thanks to Ollie for the great picture. More picture by him here.

Comment by Ollie :-

"I loved my trip to Langkawi, it is a naturally beautiful island and the people were very friendly to my friends and I. It was great to be able to discover new places and new food for ourselves but it would have been handy to have a cheap method of transport, like a public bus that regularly went around the island because the taxis could be expensive."

AL :- Agree with Ollie. Should have a shuttle bus from Kuah to certain tourist spot. Lada should think about this suggestion.

Cascading waterfall.

Picture of the day. Picture taken by Alex of Telaga Tujuh Waterfall. They are common areas you can go either the upper part of the waterfall or the lower part (as per picture). Anyway, please be carefull when going to the upper part of the waterfall because there's been several case already people slip & fall. Some fatality also noted at the area. Beware of the monkeys as well.

Please check more great pictures by Alex here.
