Chanced upon this new landmark in Kuala Selangor the other day. What struck me most was the single earth tone colour used. The Shakti Hindu Temple in Bukit Rotan stood out beautifully as it basked in the warm rays of the setting sun.
While the axis of great temples are usually aligned to ancient precepts, it took 10 seconds for Photoshop CS6’s powerful “Content Aware Fill” to remove an unsightly telecommunications tower at the back.

Wild monkeys seem to enjoy cam-whoring too. Or photo-bombing to the delight of those in the picture. Some of the Silver-Leafed monkeys in Kuala Selangor would jump on the shoulders of unsuspecting tourists when they see them posing for a photo. Fortunately, the endangered species have not learned the gratuitous V sign (as yet).
Not sure if it is a good thing but it appears to be a symbiotic relationship. The friendly wildlife attract hordes of visitors to Malawati Hill and in return they get fed with fruits and nuts.

Unfortunately, Batang Berjuntai wasn’t allowed to hang on to its colourful name. It was renamed vanilla Bestari Jaya. On a sunny day, some of the brightly-painted rural houses dangle like eye candy for the Body Cap Lens. Surreal and visually striking.
