The Sarawak River runs through the heart of Kuching, capital of the Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo. The elaborate roof of the Sarawak State Chamber can be seen in the background. This shot is framed by the window of a 'bot tambang' - inexpensive water taxis which ferry tourists across the river.
Kuching, on the island of Borneo, is one of Malaysia’s leading towns and the capital of Sarawak. Located astride the Sarawak River, it’s a vibrant place, boasting ubiquitous shopping malls, modern hotels and an excellent riverside promenade, as well as a range of older traditional buildings, stalls and markets.
It’s also pretty big on cats. They’re everywhere – statues, sculptures and models of the moggies, that is, rather than the real thing. There’s a family of cats dominating the town’s main roundabout (above), there are others keeping guard atop various buildings and on traffic islands (below)… and there’s even a kitsch, tongue-in-cheek cat museum. All because Kuching apparently takes its name from the Malay word for ‘cat’. But more than that, it also shows that the city and its people enjoy a sense of fun.

After visiting this spot multiple times, today I finally got the perfect sky. One layer of scattered stratus clouds which lights up after sunset.
This time I brought my tripod and ND filter to smooth the water surface. I had to merge 3 exposure because GND will do no good with the bridge above the horizon.
The bridge is officially known as Darul Hana Bridge.
