On the right we have St. Paul's Church located at 56 Macalister Road, Georgetown, Penang. This church traces its history back to 1886. It's an Chinese language Anglican denomination church. This building was erected in 1930. Across the street, ie. behind my viewpoint, is a Roman Catholic Church.

I still have vague memories of the day I took off to ride around the island. I took off in an anti-clockwise direction from Georgetown staying as much as possible to the coastal road through Tanjong Bungah (don't know what Tanjong means but Bungah means 'flowers') and Batu Feringgi (which translates as 'Foreigner's Rock') before pitching up an Pekan Teluk Bahang (Teluk Bahang means 'Bay of the Heat Wave', no idea what Pekan means or if google maps is even correct).

I just love the look on the face of the guy in the middle. While the two singers are dueting away, he's giving me this sideways why-are-you-pointing-your-camera-at-me look!

One of the acts at this Penang street variety show was performed by a group including several dancers holding candles. This is my favorite shot from that sequence. Given it was hand-held and shot on 100 ISO film, I'm very happy with this result.

I've no idea what this guy was singing about but he was going at it all-in. You can see the sweat on his brow - but then this is semi-tropical Malaysia. I was struck by this guy's gold jacket and the way it's reflecting some of the red stage lighting. Clearly, from the shadow on the rear wall, the main light here is a spotlight out front.

I don't know if I just happened to be in Penang during a 'fringe' style event or if this sort of thing just goes on all the time but with a one-day break, the street theater stage than had hosted the Chinese Opera was now hosting a variety show - singing, dancing and comedy. I have to say, I didn't really get the comedy but the locals seemed to find it funny.
