When you can’t be at the real place … a museum exhibit is most welcome.
There is always something to be thankful for. And living in a beautiful convenient city like this is one of them.

Amoy Street
Bukit Timah Railway
Or what’s left of it.
After our little adventure in getting up on the tracks, we were slightly disappointed to see that most of it was already hogged by other photo enthusiasts. So, we just made do what what little track we had left, plotting to go back again…
National Museum 2016
My first visit to the museum since coming back from Sydney. It was nice to see that the main galleries have been preserved and expanded to keep up with the times. Looking forward to more interesting exhibits ahead.
Perth 2016: Fremantle Prison
The building looked quaint and interesting enough from the outside, but once we went into the main buildings… The air of depression just weighed down.
And as if sensing the mood we were in, it started to rain…
Penang 2016: Moontree 47
A well -preserved page from tradition and history.
Getting Closer to Goodbye
Australian War Memorial – Canberra
View of Parliament from the memorial. Looks deserted but crowds were teeming behind us.
I must say I do a pretty good job of cutting crowds out from my pictures.
Walking along this corridor, from a speaker came a simple pure voice reading out names of the people listed on the boards, and their ages. Listening to how young some of them were when they went off to war was just heartbreaking.
Brisbane’s City Hall // Clock Tower
Right in the middle of Brisbane city, is the old and vintage architecture of City Hall.
We headed upstairs for the clock tower tour.
The one and only cage lift still in use in Australia!
The space up in the clock tower there was a little smaller than I expected, with room for no more than maybe 8 people to stand comfortably.
Could only imagine what the view would have been like when the tower was first built – unobstructed by development and progress…
The Rocks – Weekday Version
The Rocks is usually crowded with tourists and locals… But a trip there on a weekday morning gave me wonderful space, air and time to soak in everything at my own pace. What a contrast from the previous few times I was there..
