The special thing about street art in Penang is that the artist Ernest Zacharevic mixed real objects with graffiti and thus created creative works that are simply unique.

In 1983, the typical Penang Ferries have bee the one way to connect Butterworth at the Malaysian mainland with Georgetown on Penang Island. Georgetown has alway been an important trading place for Southeast Asia. Crossing over took only 15 minutes.
Only two years later, in 1985 the 13.5 kilometre long Penang Bridge to the mainland wasopened. It was the longest bridge in Southeast Asia. Due to the steadily growing car traffic, the old ferry connection is continuing to operate. A second bridge with a length of 24 kilomeztes was opened then in 2014.
In my first comment box you can see, how many ferries have been operating at the time.
I took this photo in 1983 with my analog Nikon FE camera and 35mm slide film, and then scanned with a Nikon Coolscan 4000D film scanner.

Penang Hill has been the destination for the British colonial community to enjoy the cooler air of the Penang Hill. That's why they constructed the railway to get there easy and fast.

Early Morning on Penang Hill overseeing Georgetown and the Penang bridge to the mainland of Malaysia. It was a pretty clear view as it was raining since weeks the evening before and brought down the mist.
This was my last morning in Asia.

Penang Harbor, located on the island of Penang in Malaysia, is a vibrant and historic gateway that has a steady flow of fishing boats and cargo ships. I captured this beautiful sunset from across the harbor, with those easily recognizable container cranes in the foreground.

It has been many yonks since I last hiked here, probably 35 years ago. There were no paved ways and filled with dried leaves. I remembered we have to run down on these paths to avoid any slips. Those were the days 😊

The Penang Bridge is a 13.5km (8.4-mile) dual carriageway toll bridge and controlled-access highway in the state of Penang, Malaysia. The bridge connects Butterworth on the mainland side of the state with Gelugor on the island, crossing the Selatan Strait.
The bridge was inaugurated on 14 September 1985 and it is the first road connection between the peninsula and the island. The bridge is well known as the second-longest bridge in Malaysia and the fifth-longest in Southeast Asia by total length, with a length over water of 8.4 kilometres (5.2 miles).
