So finally I went to Broga Hill as well lol

A friend of mine, JH, asked me if I would like to go to Broga Hill with him. So I thought why not? I have being seeing and hearing form lots of people who went up to Broga Hill, and they got some really amazing pictures. However, a trip which was supposed to have happened on Monday, only went ahead on Friday, which was Xmas Eve. We woke up at around 4.30am, left, and reached Broga at 6am.
When we were on the road towards Broga Hill, we could already see climbers shining their torchlights at us from the peak. That's how early people were willing to wake up to enjoy the sunrise view from the hilltop. But I think it could also be due to it being a public holiday for some and also, it was a school holiday. It was still better than the weekends though where massive numbers of hikers/tourists would flock to Broga Hill and leave no spot for you to stand on the peak. And the paths/trails..they were quite narrow. Imagine if one big group going down the hill bumped into another trying to get to the top, in lowlight conditions.
This was quite a new experience for me, to hike the hill in pitch black conditions. But then I saw a family of three (A dad, mum and a small child) who were climbing up without even using torchlights! Once I got up to the top, I realised I left my SD memory cards for my cam at home!! No mood lol!! Luckily JH offered me his and so we started snapping photos. However, I guess I did enjoy the experience and got the following pictures:

Dear Stephanie, Happy Birthday:) I think she had an absolute amazingly great time this year around for her birthday, cause there were just so many people celebrating with her. What a wonderful time we had that day as well. Look at the people there to take photographs for her!!

Shot this picture on a rare day where the skies were mostly clear in Leeds. It was the day where another one of my friends left Leeds and it was also the Hungry Ghost Festival as well. But I thought it was the Chinese Valentine's Day for some reason LOL. Oh well. Picture was taken with my Canon EOS500D coupled to the Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1: 2 while being supported by a tripod. Aperture @ f/10, shutter speed @1/160, ISO 100. It was then cropped.
