After weeks of fevered Deepavali commerce, Little India in Klang takes a needed break. It is also a public holiday today. The letters P, A and R went on leave too, I think. In the background is the stately Masjid India Klang. Deserted back lanes are a good place to explore (with just a camera and kit lens).

Within minutes, a big squadron of painted storks flew in. The giant birds put up an amazing aerial display above the old Setapak Mosque. They circled overhead and flew in formation for a good 5 minutes in this special Maal Hijrah Airshow.

I was looking at the beautiful century-old Setapak Mosque this Awal Muharram morning when a single painted stork flew by. They are magnificent birds with a wing span of about 4 to five feet. The solo flight turned out to be the precursor to one of the most amazing sights… See next pic.
