hi Lam, ya I think you're absolutely right, that's for rubber sheet production during the olden days... I can link the connection with William Kellie Smith, one of the most successful fortune-seeker who brought the rubber seeds to plant in Malaysia. Thanks for the input... Gwen

Your 'nature' pix are amazing, as usual..... but you know me.. I like old buildings, so my favs were the pix of Kellee's Castle.... I have been in the Ipoh area but have not seen the castle yet, but I hope to, maybe this trip.... I also liked the Tambun Temple pix... is that temple hard to get at? ie. do I have to climb a mountain to see it?? ;o)

Nicely done!
What an interesting visual travelogue you present, particularly through your very discerning eye for wildlife and tiny detail! And what perfect rendering of colours!! Like most readers, I suppose, I'd never heard of Kelle's Castle: now it's just one more reason for me to want to visit Malaysia some day. Would that there were more explorers like you in the world!

I had been to these places not about 2 years ago, but have not seen so some of these unique plants/ flower. Am very impressed with your skill-set and being so observance.

Thanks for sharing!

Good lake scenery and macro
Another wonderful shots of Lata Kinjang and the macro shots. The mysterious lake is beautiful. The small winged insect is so unique.
