Mount Kinabalu from the air

by drizad on August 14, 2010

Managed to snap some shots of Mount Kinabalu while traveling from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan on a flight. I went to Sandakan few months back, but did not managed to upload the photos sooner. The photo quality is a bit low, as I shot it with a smart phone, to be exact, Blackberry 8520.

I traveled from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan in the afternoon. Afternoon shots are not good as clouds had covered the mountain which obscure the view of the mountain. I came back from Sandakan to Kota Kinabalu on a morning flight. This is the best time to see the majestic mountain of Borneo, as the sky is really clear!

There is one shot that is different from the others. See if you can identify it!

Wow! Great pictures of Mount Kinabalu. Is the airline Air Asia? They are my favorite airline- so cheap!! I went to Borneo with my kids and we had a blast. Loved all the fun things you can do when you visit Kota Kinabalu like visit Poring Hotsprings and seeing the orangutans.
