Morning scenics

Most scenic pictures of Ubin we see in the web are taken in the evening. There are very few pictures of sunrise unless you are a Ubin islander and is at the jetty every morning.

The pictures here are taken by Mr. Moh. Mr. Moh and his wife have lived in Ubin for the last sixty years. Together they operate van taxis services on the island and we are one of their regular customers. Early this year Mr. Moh asked for my help to get him a digital camera. I got him a low cost Nikon camera.

As it turns out, Mr. Moh pictures were beautiful, especially morning scenes while waiting for the first arriving customers. Sometimes there will be large ships crossing the narrow Johore straits under cloudy blue skies which make wonderful postcard pictures. Below are pictures Mr. Moh have taken. Click on them to enlarge.

Mr. Moh van taxi rates are reasonable. You can also arrange bookings for early pickups or night trips. His mobile number is 97317629.

Maginot Line

These stakes may look nice during sunset. But can be an eyesore too.

Maginot Line

The stakes were built during the last financial criss to keep illegal immigrants from swimming in. They could wade in during low tide. But most would rather fly by air and overstay instead.

Low tide

Reminds me of the famous Maginot Line

Sunset at Pulau Ubin

Sunset scene as seen from Pulau Ubiin jetty. Ubin jetty would be the best place for sunset photos before taking the last boat off the island. NEA provides sunrise and sunset times to catch the right moment when the sun dip into the distant horizon.
