Daily Photo – Penang Alley
Of course, my visit was over 20 years ago, but I doubt Georgetown has changed much in that time. It was certainly a very walkable town. It’s mostly regular city blocks so easy to navigate and full of scenes such as this one of an alley. It had rained earlier in the day so the streets were wet, the skies were grey providing a wonderfully soft light eliminating the harsh shadows that would normally be present at this time of day.

Nice pic. I went to Penang in 1973/4, then I went back in 2009. Yes, it has changed. You can still enjoy rare scenes, but it’s cleaner and a little more modern. I am sending you a picture on your Twitter account!
Cheers,
Again, very nice photo.
