It was still early in the morning when I took these photos, therefore the long shadows.... The place is on the other side of of our housing area, within one of the many green lungs of Putrajaya. Pulai is an interesting tree, due to the shape of its leaves and the canopy. I really have to find a solitary tree somewhere to snap from all angles. Then I can post them later for clearer view of my favorite tree, PULAI. But for now, these photos are adequate for general appreciation.
Pulai has soft wood and good for carving.

I never seen a tree like that before. You always treat us to such interesting photos! -Jackie
ReplyDeleteInteresting tree! Do you carve wood? The leaves on this tree look like a Schefflera, a plant we have as a houseplant.
ReplyDeleteI love the shadows. What a beautiful tree and gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely and peaceful! Thank you so much for showing us your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteThis tree look majestic. Btw, you explained the taste of bitter gourd and apple taste very well. TQ!

They have this pulai trees planted in certain section of the highway in rows. Very neat.
I dont do carving and how I wish I have the time, patience and creativity to carve.. I saw one Pulai tree reaching 150 ft at Belum Forest recently.

Shadows are nice because we freeze the moment and put them in photos. Ordinarily we see shadows as being too ordinary to capture our attention.

ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes Pulai is majestic... in fact most big trees are.
About gourd juice, I never taste it yet... I have tasted "air jus labu kundur"... a different gourd and that is not bitter!
I like trying to catch shadows in photos too. I like yours. I also love the former post. The rainbow is very nice. Your prime minister's office is a beautiful photo. I can just imagine being on awestruck tourist on vacation in Malaysia. I never imagined that blogging could help experience what others see and do around the world. Thank you.
