Taken in the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Hindu temple in Singapore's Little India district (Serangoon road).
At this point I was happily snapping away when something went wrong. I checked the camera and saw an 'error 99' message. In 3 years and 25,000+ shots I had never seen this issue. Changing the battery only gave me a few more shots before the camera locked up again. Luckily, a change of lens fixed things, but now I have a lens that's in need of repair...oh well...
On to Singapore. After a 5 hour drive from KL we made it to this island republic. I had my passport stamped by possibly the prettiest border guard I've ever seen (she was young, friendly & beautiful but I thought it prudent not to take her photo!).
My first port of call on the tourist trail was Singapore Zoo, it was certainly impressive and has a large array of animals in a pleasant setting. This specimen was not part of the exhibition, instead it seemed to be roaming wild on a path in the zoo.
So after a week in Malaysia it was time to move on.
This sunset shot was taken from the KL Tower a communications tower Kuala Lumpur with an observation deck which is about 275 metres above ground level (the tower itself is 421 metres high).
Taken in Kuala Lumpur's Bird Park - we were lucky enough to arrive at the Kite enclosure just as the keepers were seeting up to feed the birds.
The Brahminy Kite is a bird of prey and is fed a diet of meat and in this case a dead mouse!
Continuing the journey...
So after a night in Genting (Malaysia's very own Las Vegas) we headed back down towards KL but stopped off at the Chin Swee Caves Temple. It's a peacful place compared to the busy casino and entertainment complex above it at the top of the mountain.
Back to KL and a wander around it's Chinatown area.
This shot was taken in the Kwong Siew Free Temple, a Taoist temple. The coils are made of incence and are burnt as prayer offerings.
