This photograph of Gambir Street, Kuching, taken in September 2024, captures a historic enclave where heritage whispers through the weathered shophouses and narrow alleyways. Once the beating heart of Kuching’s trade scene during the Brooke era, Gambir Street stands as a testament to its multicultural past, where Indian Muslim and Chinese merchants traded goods with local Sarawakian natives.
At the center of the frame lies the historic Masjid India (Masjid Bandar Kuching), established in 1834. Revered as Sarawak's oldest mosque, it served the Indian Muslim community—merchants and laborers who migrated here, leaving an indelible mark on Kuching’s identity. The mosque, nestled amidst a labyrinth of shophouses, reflects the quiet strength of faith and commerce that shaped this vibrant neighborhood.
The shophouses lining the street are architectural relics, their wooden shutters and aging facades bearing witness to over a century of trade. These buildings once housed bustling shops selling spices, textiles, and traditional goods—commodities that drew traders from far and wide. Streets like Gambir Road, and connecting lanes such as the iconic Indian Mosque Lane (Lorong Sempit), allowed shoppers and traders alike to weave through a sensory mosaic of aromatic spices, brilliant colors, and cultural exchanges.
Historically, this area was Kuching’s spice trade center, where goods like turmeric, curry leaves, and exotic ingredients filled the air with fragrance. It also served as a link to India Street, previously called Kling Street in the 1850s and renamed in 1928 by Charles Vyner Brooke, to honor its Indian traders. Here, commerce and community flourished side by side, with medicine men, shopkeepers, and merchants creating a hub of life and culture that remains alive to this day.
This photograph preserves more than a visual—it freezes time, offering a poignant reflection of Kuching’s soul. Gambir Street, with its architectural elegance and enduring legacy, continues to tell stories of trade, community, and multicultural harmony. It is a living museum where history, faith, and culture come together, offering an intimate glimpse into Kuching’s rich past.

I'm out a luck, out a love
Gotta photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I want to touch
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh, look what you've done
Photograph I don't want your
Photograph I don't need your
Photograph all I've got is a photograph
But it's not enough
I'd be your lover, if you were there
Put your hurt on me, if you dare
Such a woman, you got style
You make every man feel like a child, oh
You got some kinda hold on me
You're all wrapped up in mystery
So wild so free and far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh, look what you've done
I gotta have you
Photograph I don't want your
Photograph I don't need your
Photograph all I've got is a photograph
You've gone straight to my head
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh, look what you've done
I gotta have you
Photograph I don't want your
Photograph I don't need your
Photograph all I've got is a photograph
I want to touch you

This is a beautiful place that is being loved to death. At the time we visited a platform was being constructed in the area most popular for viewing so we could not get access to the best places for photography. So we went around to another location to get our shots. I imagine fencing will restrict access to only the platform in the future.

It was a tough decision for me as to whether I should post a very abstract image to MM or more traditional. I posted two abstracts and two traditional sparkly gold ribbon images to my photostream, and decided to post one of the abstracts to Macro Mondays, as I thought it showed a more unique view of ribbon.

Cette photographie a été réalisée lors des « Abrivado des plages » réunissant, autour du 11 novembre, un millier de chevaux et deux cent gardians sur les plages des Saintes-Maries-De-La-Mer.
L'abrivado était jadis la conduite des taureaux depuis les pâturages jusqu'aux arènes sous la surveillance de gardians.
De nos jours,ce terme désigne une tradition taurine provençale et languedocienne consistant à simuler ces transferts de taureaux en les lâchant dans les rues fermées d’une ville ou d’un village.
Afin de faire ce trajet sans incident, les taureaux étaient encadrés par une dizaine de cavaliers disposés selon une formation en V.
Lors des traversées de villages, il arrivait souvent que les jeunes villageois tentent de faire échapper les bêtes, afin de s’en amuser. Afin de limiter les risques de voir leurs taureaux leur échapper, les gardians leur faisaient donc traverser le village au galop, à la vitesse la plus élevée possible.
De nos jours les abrivado sont organisées spécialement lors des fêtes locales de nombreux villages et villes des Bouches-du-Rhône, du Vaucluse, du Gard, de l’Hérault et des Pyrénées-Orientales.
This photograph was taken during the “Abrivado des plages” which brought together, around November 11, a thousand horses and two hundred guardians on the beaches of Saintes-Maries-De-La-Mer.
The abrivado was once the driving of bulls from pastures to arenas under the supervision of herdsmen.
Nowadays, this term refers to a Provençal and Languedoc bullfighting tradition consisting of simulating these transfers of bulls by releasing them into the closed streets of a town or village.
In order to make this journey without incident, the bulls were supervised by about ten riders arranged in a V formation.
When crossing villages, it often happened that young villagers tried to make the animals escape, in order to have fun with them. In order to limit the risks of seeing their bulls escape, the herdsmen therefore made them cross the village at a gallop, at the highest possible speed.
Nowadays, abrivado are organized especially during local festivals in many villages and towns in Provence and Languedoc in the south of France.

Memorial for over 10 000 soviet prisoners-in war executed in Sachsenhausen immediately after arriving at the camp between August 31 and October 2, 1941.
The photographs were taken by a Czech fellow-prisoner on behalf of the SS and were meant to be used for an exhibition to illustrate the Slavic subhuman. The prisoner managed to take the negatives with him when he was sent on the Death march in 1945 and thus preserved them from destruction.
