      I think this would be 緋寒櫻 or 寒緋櫻, but I've never seen such a deep scarlet one. Gold ox is waiting for the Lunar New Year to come, I see. Nice combination for the celebration.

      Thank you Tohru-san! I think this is Plum Blossom as Kazuyuki-san pointed out...it is the "JUSCO" corporate flower. But I have put in your name description just to be sure.

      Thank you so much Shangzheng! Nice of you to drop by. I have not been visiting your stream lately, will have to do soon!

      Maybe Toru-san is correct, khai-san.
      It should be 緋寒櫻, a kind of Sakura.

      It is the same flowers as this photo:

      It is very beautiful...

      Thank you Kazuyuki-san! If that is the same Sakura, it will be very nice when it bloom. It seems that the buds is not in full bloom yet when we shoot them......I will have to check it out next week.

      Thank you all for the comments, compliments and favs,

      @ gen00me - Mekasih John! Display dia memang kemas...tapi abang kurang setuju dengan lembu emas tuh! Macam cerita dalam kitab, umat2 yang leka menyembah lembu emas akhirnya dilaknat.....jadilah mereka manusia yang bersifat binatang!

      @ :shahir: - Terima kasih Shahir, kadang2 Rolleiflex ni punya result memang luar biasa!

      @ mybigbro - Thank you Bigbro!....mana resultnye shoot outing tuh! jangan simpan. Ha! Ha!

      @ -wer- Thank you Wer! Ni tengah tunggu result OLYMPUS TRIP tu! bila lagi?

      @ faizaljoy - Terima kasih Faizal...backdrop dia memang menarik kan? Uploadlah result Faizal pulak.

      @ SiRiChandra - Thank you so much Siri! We were lucky to get there early....before the big crowd.

      @ ::pokcik:: - Terima kasih pokcik!..Boleh tahan juga taking lens dia! Kadang2 aja....

      @ ::pelican:: - Wan your Kiev 88 shot will be good.....but get to grip with the transportation first. Practice with the safety paper roll first...the Kiev was the most complex and hardest to load camera I have encountered. Best of luck Bro!

    43. Carsten D (41 months ago | reply)

      I think you can´t imagine how much I enjoy this here. This colours feel so good bro.
      I wonder when I understand this Lunar New Year thing. :D I tried but Wiki isn´t that informative. Or perhaps I´m too dumb to understand. Hehehe. Whole Asia is definitely a different culture. Ok, of course I knew that but I never thought of the immense difference. It always amazes me.
      Anyway. :D Again, if I see the colours and sharpness of the fifty years old Tessar... Mmmm.
