Solemn worshippers stream into church during the annual St Anne’s Feast in Bukit Mertajam. I set the camera’s shutter speed to 3 seconds, clicked and zoomed quickly during the brief exposure. This created an unusual and fascinating picture of the devotees walking with candles towards the altar. The Church of St. Anne started life as a little chapel in 1846. Hundreds of thousands of Catholics and tourists congregate at the festival site near Penang each year.
Chow Kit Market springs back to life this morning (Sunday, 26th August 2012) after a week of inactivity. I like this market for its ‘multi-racialness’. There are also Indonesians, Bangladeshis, Cambodians and Nepalese. Is like a Little Asia. The area may be teeming with drug addicts, hobos, street urchins and parking touts but somehow I feel safer here than inside a mall’s car park.
Little India in Klang comes alive as Deepavali approaches. The sights, the sounds, the smells and the traffic jams. Just like Little India Brickfields, indiscriminately-parked vehicles make the already-narrow street almost impassable. A small inconvenience as the bustle and honking add to the festive atmosphere at the bazaar 🙂
Jalan Tengku Kelana is located in the older and more historical part of Klang. The beautiful Indian Muslim Mosque is on one end while the century-old Our Lady of Lourdes Church is on the other. I like L. I. K.
