Photos - reality vs deception

Photos can be deceptive at times.

What a photo captures is merely a glimpse of a selected corner of entire scene. The selected view may be very charming and scenic, but what's not captured may not...


View of an elevated forest boardwark... it gave an impression that the elevated boardwalk perched high up in the forest, overlooking into the forest way ahead.  In reality, it was probably just about a height of 3 storey building.


A brisk jog down a gigantic arch runway, cutting across the forest....
It reminds of scenic bridge travesing through the gorges in Japan/Korea... But in reality, the boardwalk is only less than 2 meter from the ground.

Hence, it is important not to be "overwhelmed" by look-good photos put up in Facebook / Instagram... it may be the "real" thing.


In case you are wondering where the photos were taken...they were all taken along the elevated boardwalk leading from Telok Blangah Hill Park to Holt Park!
