Photos from the 2001 TrailWalker will be posted gradually within the next few days. Also don't forget to visit my other web site, Photo Gallery for Hong Kong Divers which features many beautiful and stunning underwater photos taken by Hong Kong divers.

Trips to Galapagos will never fall short of wildlife, many of which are unique to these islands. From hundreds of Hammerhead Sharks and the 50 ft long giant Whale Sharks undersea, to Sealions, Marine Iguanas, and red crabs almost everywhere on the beach, Giant Tortoise on land, and Bobees, Pelicans, and Albatross flying in the sky. As Galapagos has strict rules to protect these animals, they are never shy of visitors. The only problem is that it takes about 50 hours to go there. The pictures here were taken during a 10 day trip in October 2000.

Barcelona is a beautiful city full of artistic constructions, and is an ideal place for photography. It features the works from Gaudi like Casa Mila (Le Pedrera), Park Guell, and the world famous Sagrada Familia, a cathedral where the construction started in 1882 but is less than half completed. It also carry other attractions like The Cathedral, the stadium for the 1992 Olympic, and Port Vell. The pictures here were taken during a 3 day trip in November 1997.

Sangalaki is at the south east corner of Borneo and is in the Indonsia side. It is an excellent dive site where you can find Manta Rays, Eagle Rays, Hammer Head Sharks, Leopard Sharps, non-stinging Jelly Fishes, and lots of small objects best for macro photos during night dives. The only problem is that it takes almost two full days to get there. The pictures here were taken during a nine day trip in October 1997.

Anilao is one of the best spots for underwater macro pictures. It is just three hours drive from Manila, convenient enough for just a short trip from Hong Kong during long weekends. It has an abundant array of macro life forms, and the night dives are particularly outstanding. The local shallow reef also allows safe repetitive long dives. The pictures in this section were taken during a four day trip in June 1999.

TrailWalker is one of the most challenging charity "walk" in the world. Participants, in a team of 4, have to complete the 100 km MacLehose Trail in 48 hours. Despite the pain and suffering involved in this ultra long hike, the 900 team quota for 1999 was fully subscribed even before the official registration began. The event raises about HK$12mn every year. Most teams completed the trail in 30-35 hours. The pictures were taken during TrailWalker 99 between Nov 12 and 14.

Easter Island, also called Rapa Nui or Isla de Pascua. It is nicknamed "The Loniest Island" because it is located in the middle between Chile and Tahiti, 5,000 km from the closest land. While it is most famous for its mysterious status, the landscapes are also amazing. Because of its remote location and small inhabitant, Easter Island is extremely peaceful and you always receive the warmest welcome. These pictures were taken during a four day trip in December 1997.
