When you are in a rainforest, you dont have to wait for a big mammal to see some action. There is drama unfolding all around you all the time. Here's one of those natural history moment. A spider wasp paralysing a spider(tarantula?). The wasp would then carry this spider to a nest, and lay eggs on the spider. When the eggs hatch, the baby wasps now have live food to feed on.

A trekker descending Mt Kinabalu, One of the tallest peaks in S.E.Asia. Enduring all the pain hiking a steep slope in pitch darkness to be welcomed by the warmth of the morning sun, you'r on top of the world in the true sense. As this trekker descends, you can sense the feeling of achievement in him and his desire to be all by himself in the arms of nature..
