Summary

Description
English: In keeping with the heritage theme, lighting in the rooms is not too great, and with all that woodwork and congested city area, the windows cannot be opened. I was fascinated by this old monochrome photograph of old Penang, complete with trolley buses and beca pedicabs with very few people and motorized vehicles. I had to unfortunately shoot this picture in less than ideal lighting conditions thanks to the light conditions I mentioned just moments ago. The following day, I went very close to this very spot.
Date circa 1950s, captured in November 2013
