Gothic architecture in a storm. Mysterious and stoic. The Chapel of Saint Augustine in Titi. Could not find a single person around to ask about the history of this quaint and beautiful church in the remote Jelebu valley.

I always try to explore places in the morning or late afternoon when the shadows are longer and more interesting. The arch and pillar formed an arrow at St Aloysius Church at 4:48 pm. This Catholic church was built in 1901 when the Mat Sallehs used to call the area Mine Tin because of mining activities. Locals eventually corrupted the town’s name to become Mantin.
Found this mysterious, creepy, abandoned chapel while exploring the deserted Cheras cemetery with Maloti. She wasn’t aware I was photographing her as she examined the graffiti up-close. The vandalised pyre with daylight streaming through missing window panes and roof tiles gave it that ‘Korean horror movie look’, unintentionally.
