Melaka at Night

I was in Melaka (Malacca) on Oct 3, 2009, when Chinese celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Lantern Festival and Moon Cake Festival. I was hoping to capture the image of moon over the Melaka River. Thing didn’t turn out well, as it was a cloudy night. Anyway, here are some photos for sharing…

The clock tower…


Melaka River…


Another view of the river…


The famous Jonker Walk…


Off topic:
When I was on my way back from Melaka, the traffic was heavy. The Federal Highway was packed even at 11.30pm. Why can't the people sleep early???

    That day was special for me. If I didn't go to Melaka I would have been home by then.

    Why can't the people sleep early? That's such a funny question! I am not an early sleeper too, but I have no reason why I can't sleep early, although I try to! : )

    I was returning from Melaka that day. But I believe most people celebrated the Festival not far from their home.
