Air Itam Dam

[sparda79]

This is Air Itam Dam. It used to be the main supply of water for Penang Island. The foot of the hill of this dam is just a walking distance from my parent's house. My brother and I used to climb up to this dam when we were kids, either on foot or a bicycle. It was a challenge to climb on foot, but it's very scary to go down on a bicycle.

I did a little PP on the raw file to properly exposed the sky and the foreground for this shot.


This resident of this dam was just resting there. It's the biggest one I've ever seen. The shell is about 2 feet long. I wonder how old is he.

That's a great looking sky in the first one and the water is so calm. I saw an eighty year old turtle at a zoo once and it was huge, it amazes me at how old they can live up to. Thanks for sharing these great shots.

Thanks for your comments FoG, Angela.

It is a amazing place FoG. My shots in my previous posts were taken during my walk around this dam.
