Decadence (89810032)

so lovely.......

Decadence: "Refined aestheticism, artifice, and the quest for new sensations...." well that's one way of putting it.

View LARGE On Black
Gears: Leica R6 and Leitz Leica Summicron-R 35/2.0, on Fujichrome Velvia 50 (RVP50F)
Location: Pulau Ketam overlooking Pulau Wan Man, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia
Processing: None, Straight out of camera

It was a very fine morning, the river was so calm, soothing to my heart, so I decided have another shot at the Crystal Mosque coupled with the main landmark of the "city", the Bukit Besar. The ruling government have been trying so hard to justify building such a monument for the people, well I guess this presentation wont help much.

less glossy but still looking spectacular. the foreground makes for an interesting and thought-provoking counterpoint to the mosque.

Its certainly a beautifull building but sometimes governments try too hard for the things they think the 'people' want.
Visited KL Penang and the Lakshadweeps a few years ago. Hired a jeep and went for a'wander' round the mainland for a week or so and felt perfectly safe. Even allowed to pay my respects at a Mosque or two along the way. A wonderfull country.
