Errm... not really a particular highlight: dense jungle and sunray only (if the sky is clear in the morning). just a casual shooting and an exercise

not much varieties of macro either, the most expected insects are ants, butterflies and jungle flowers, and with occasional mantis, crickets, dragonfly, bugs if you go off path.
a bit of waterfall and dam here and there

some photos:

Bump up for a good leader....

I went for this walk before with Kenneth as the leader. It was a nice simple walk, which wasn't too tough....

Good for exercise too!
