(Thanks to Nuray and Jaciii for the first explore link ;D)

Since i posted a vertical shot yesterday, i should continue the ball rolling & do all vertical posts for this weekend & the whole of next week :D To put it in simple term, i actually just want to get them off my folder asap LOL! Therefore look out guys! crap shots coming real soon next week :P Personally I prefer landscape format if i can choose to shot but sometimes its just not possible for certain compo & my eyes just tell me no no no (just like in this case)!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead everyone!!!!! Off to my fav Saturday market shopping trip & see you soon!
