The other day I asked a friend about the photogenic qualities of the ChungHsing University campus on the south side of Taichung. He said it ws quite good, mentioning they had a small lake (a pond really) and that it was large and layed out nicely. So I was motivated to see it and shoot some stuff. Well you can imagine my delight when I got on campus and 2 minutes into my journey I discovered that the whole school was engaged in an intra-school cheerleader squad competition. The colors, action and energy were all great. I will do a featured post on that later this week.
The lovely young ladies looking like extras from Sheena the Queen of the Jungle were mistaken by me to be CosPlay(ers) since my friend told me they were often around the school on weekends. They corrected me and informed me that they had just been in the aforementioned cheer leading event.
The lake/pond area had quiet of few people hanging around toting big Nikons and Canons(here in Taiwan anything else lacks the status) even a wedding photo shoot going on there. I decided to shoot some ducks (I'm not a big wildlife photography guy but I have my moments) and was pleased after shooting that I caught the coppery reflection of one of the buildings in the shot.
While I was sitting down shooting I saw a tortoise and this older man stopped by to see what I was looking at. I ended up having a nice conversation with him.
Finally I needed to head over by the Taichung Station to meet my son for our weekly Fri. night father/sons's street food outing. I liked the look of the moon peaking through the buildings so here it is.
It just so happens I'm listening to this song now-Cameo : Word Up.
