Mt Kinabalu Rainforest
Earlier this year I spent about a week in Malaysian Borneo. This is a shot of the jungle that surrounds Mt Kinabalu, one of SE Asia’s highest mountains. I didn’t actually get to see the mountain as it was shrouded in mist. I was also keen to find and photograph the worlds largest flower – Rafflesia. The flower is bright red and about 2-3 feet wide! I lucked out as it is extremely rare. Apparently only 4 or 5 were reported in Malaysia last year!

It’s hard to capture that sort of rainforresty stuff eh, but you have done a nice job of it here Dave!
I spent 2 weeks at Kota Kinaa Balu skydiving out of C130’s a few years ago. Every night we jumped into the beach at the Shangri La hotel where we were staying….waycool!
Pretty spot for sure.
Yep rainforests can be almost impossible sometimes. Luckily I had a narrow path and some vines to help me out. I’ll be posting some wildlife shots from Borneo soon . In many ways I found the wildlife over there must easier than landscapes.
Oh and I have know doubt that you would have stepped out of plane whilst you were at KK! Incidentally do you know the guys at the Wickham skydiving club. I chartered their plane to get some aerial shots a few years ago.
Cheers
