No. 26
Beneath the Light Trail
This small owl was a familiar voice around my home in Dharan, Nepal, its calls echoing through the neighbourhood each evening. One night, I spotted it perched motionless beside a road, seemingly undisturbed by passing vehicles. While photographing it, I noticed an injury to its right eye. Concerned for its safety, I gently moved it away from traffic. Shortly afterwards, the owl regained its strength and flew into the darkness. This unexpected encounter offered a rare glimpse of a familiar yet elusive neighbour, reminding me of the beauty and vulnerability of wildlife living alongside human communities.

About the photographer
I am a Singapore-based wildlife and nature photographer with a passion for documenting birds, animals, and natural landscapes. While working full-time as a civil servant, I dedicate my free time to exploring nature and developing my photography skills. Through regular fieldwork, travel, competitions, and exhibitions, I have gained valuable experience capturing authentic wildlife behaviour and meaningful moments in the wild. My photography aims to showcase the beauty and diversity of nature while raising awareness of conservation. Through visual storytelling, I hope to inspire greater appreciation for wildlife and encourage others to value and protect the natural world for future generations.
