The pier of Georgetown - Penang, Malaysia
More details: The jungle murmurs
Georgetown after the storm. The sky remains torn and in heretic, but it gives to this photo all its power. The sea is still restless and we can almost smell the rain on the wooden pier of the fishing village of George Town. The crow is leaving from its refuge where it waited the rain to stop...
The fishing village was once a very high place for the trade of different goods between Asia and the Great Britain as Malaysia was its colony. Opium was a common good that was traded there and you can witness many signs of this activity.
Now the fishing village is more a touristic attraction. No international trade is on-going there anymore, since the maid harbor is in Kuala Lumpur and the worldwide famous harbor of Singapore. Now tourist are wandering on the wooden piers, among the houses. Local chinese are still leaving there, houses have no air-cond, all doors are open.
If you go there, try to imagine this place at the time of Francis Light and it may help you to enjoy even more the place.
