Singapore.scape: Smelly punggol beach

It was my first time to punggol beach.
The moment you reach the beach area, you can smell the unique smell of punggol beach.
The smell is quite strong, but still acceptable for me.
It's not the ordinary beach sea water smell.
It a smell which I don't know how to describe.

The rocks there are plentiful.
They are heavily covered with barnacles so do be careful if you wish to enter the water.


The water is kind of dirty with rubbish and small floating bits of unknown material.

I saw a few photographers on the beach but they were shooting on dry land.
Me and my friends were the only kuku people who went into the water to shoot sunset.
Hey... it's kind of fun getting wet while shooting landscape.
Especially when you shoot facing the sea. The unpredictable big waves hit you and your setup was the best experience.

Till now, I have yet to experience the beautiful orange glow and round setting sun.

Butterfly hill

Located not far from the NPark's Ubin-HSBC Volunteer Hub is a small hill with lots of plants.
These plants attract different species of butterfly to that hill.
It was my first time shoot butterfly.
I must say that it is not easy to capture them as they hardly stay still.
Furthermore almost all the butterflies will fly away once I get near them.

I was kind of nice chasing after them but soon, I gave up.
I did manage to capture a few of them.

Parantica agleoides agleoides
Dark Glassy Tiger

Lampides boeticus
Pea Blue / Long-tailed Blue

Butterflies are definitely much more difficult to identify the species.
The same family can look so similar, with only one small detail difference to mark a different species.

Shooting butterfly is a new experience for me.

*Edit: updated with the correct ID of the butterfly.

Mangrove Dwarf @ Chek Jawa

Yay...
I've added another dragonfly shot to my collection.
That makes it 8 true dragonfly species I have out of the many found in Singapore.

Raphismia bispina
Mangrove Dwarf (female)
Uncommon

My friend tells us that the male species is blue and it's too far away from the boardwalk to shoot.
