Luxury Prison

(Click to enlarge)

This picture was taken in the township of Bukit Rimau. This is a big house with big piece of land. The owner must be very wealthy.

Unfortunately, the barbed wire makes it look like a prison…

I shot this picture from across the street. At first I wanted to shoot from close distance. But then I told myself, “No way. If the people inside the house notice that I am taking photo here, they would call the police.” These people are paranoid!


豪华监狱

以上这张照片是在Bukit Rimau拍的。照片中是一所大豪宅,屋主肯定很富有。

可惜的是,围住房子的铁丝网使它看起来像所监狱。。。

我在路的对面拍摄这张照片。我原本想近距离拍,但随即想到:『不行,如果屋里的人知道我在拍照,肯定会通知警察。』这些人怕抢劫和绑架怕到发狂了!

  2. What you did might be deemed a trespass on private property. I never photograph private homes unless I have permission to do so. I fear people might call the cops...which is within their reasonable rights. Imagine someone encroaching on your private property armed with a camera.

  6. Safety is the highest priority for some people, I have a friend who invested in sophisticated alarm system for his car, and his house is not only equipped with alarm and camera, but also smoke detectors, despite that it is a terrace house....:-)

  14. Oh yeah, the barbed wires spoilt the nice house!

    Oh luckily you didn't take photos of the house from near. It's not polite and besides, you might get scolded!

  17. Not paranoid, just cautious, I'm sure. Crime rate is not only high in Malaysia, it's also getting higher in the US and people need to take precautions to protect assets and lives. Even in gated properties here, burglaries still happen.

    Going bilingual?
