Exploring the meandering Tengi River on a sunny day, I discovered this off-the-beaten-track place. With a polariser, the deep blue sky and the striking colours of the riverside temple jumped out.
Like other places with a Chinese fishing community, temples dot the landscape of the coastal town of Tanjung Karang or Cape of the Corals. The seafarers pray to a patron deity for protection.

Saw this pair of newly-weds outside an Indian bridal shop in Bestari Jaya (formerly Batang Berjuntai). The mannequins reminded me of the movie Bride of Frankenstein, creepy yet captivating in its mystery. I applied Snapseed’s vintage filter to match the charming little town’s 1960s-ish atmosphere.

Stepping into rustic Kuala Kubu Baru is like stepping back in time. Built in 1965, the town’s St Paul’s Catholic Church retains the blockish design of its era. As I stand before it today, the overcast sky and architecture combined for a homage to the past. The now faded and unique Eastman Color look of motion pictures from The Sixties.
