Today, I also take this opportunity to acknowledge my 1st follower (Hi!) who came onboard early this week - whoever/whereever you are, this one is for you...
at dawn
The Masjid Jamek (Jamek Mosque) is the oldest mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is situated on a triangular piece of land located at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers and is surrounded by highrise buildings in the commercial district.
at high noon
Opened in 1909 and designed by Arthur Benison Hubback, this pretty mosque with Moorish architecture shares the same architect and style as the historically impressive and equally picturesque Sultan Abdul Samad Building located on the opposite side of the Klang River.
at dusk
Prior to the establishment of the Masjid Negara (National Mosque) in 1965, the Masjid Jamek also served as the national mosque in the city.
It is easily accessible by light rail transit (LRT) and is central to busy tourist sites such as the Merdeka (Independence) Square, Little India and Chinatown.
faithful throng @ Friday prayers
Fringed by the cocos nucifera (Malayan green coconut palm), this is one tropical snapshot not to be missed by the many overseas visitors to the city/country!

Absolutely stunning...thanks for sharing. We here, in the Sonoran Desert, can grow the Mexican, Date, and California Palm with little care as well as several other varieties. The palms you present are beautiful. Again thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteHello rohrerbot,
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it! Yes, same for Malaysia where some native palms propagate themselves without care too. The tropics are so fortunate with its huge variety of natives and cultivars. I hope to log as many as possible. Thanks for your continued support:-)
