Mount Kinabalu...our majesty in Sabah

Mount Kinabalu is the 10th highest mountain in Southeast Asia and the highest peak in Borneo's Crocker Range. The height of the mountain is about 4,095 meter (13,435 ft) from the sea level.

     Whats make Mount Kinabalu so attractive? For me, it's because of it shape. If you ever notice, the shape of the mountain is very unique and look different from a different view. My favorite view spot of this mountain is from Kampung Keguran, Kota Belud and from Mantabawan Binsuluk river, Kuala Penyu.

A boat from Binsulok is heading to Kuala Penyu Town with a majestic view of Mount Kinabalu as a background during one cloudy morning at Mantabawan Binsulok river, Kuala Penyu.

Instead of shape and sizes, it also looks beautiful and dramatic during moonlit night. You can see some stars and drifting clouds if you shoot with a longer exposure. Here is just some of my best collection of this mountain during a moonlit night. Hope I have a chance to shoot in other places someday.

I never get bored looking at this mountain everyday, its just so attractive to me. I just wish to had a home near this mountain so I can see it everyday when I open the door. The weather is cold and the landscape is so amazing and thanks to God for creating such a magnificent landscape. I'm so proud to be a Sabahan. I just hope this nature will always be preserve so one day my children and grand-children can see this beautiful creation without any destruction. 

Thanks for spending your time reading my blog and sorry for my bad grammar, hope you all can understand my writing and can be a references for you all. Have a great day =)
