Sri Sayang Apartments, Batu Ferringhi. |
Batu Ferringhi Golf Course ? That block of apartments in the middle is Eden Fairway. Yes, fairway as in golf courses. When the place was built purchasers thought that a golf course was to be built right next to their apartments. Instead houses were built. (View from Sri Sayang apartments). |
White-bellied Sea Eagle, (Haliaeetus leucogaster), 2014 |
View of Batu Ferringhi from Sri Sayang Apartments. In 2007 the bottom right corner was full of trees, it's now a building site. The developers are ripping up the trees and building at the rear, the side and at the front :-( |
View East from Sri Sayang Apartments. In early 2008 this was a hillside covered with trees. This view is Nov. 2009. Some of those expensive houses will have a view of little more than the rear of Sri Sayang and its car park, not the sea. The containers at the bottom right are the homes for the building site workers. This is the same view in 2012. From the lack of cars, and lights on at night 90% of the properties seem to be empty. Please excuse the copyright spoiler. A Penang property agent, Serena-the-rip-off, likes to rip-off my images, remove the copyright statement at the bottom, and use them on her commercial website. |
Mesjid Terapung, (Floating Mosque), Tanjung Bungah. |
Sunset from Sri Sayang apartments. |
I shot this sunset from Sunset Bistro in March 2008. You might be reluctant to believe it, but I tried to reproduce the actual colours of the sunset. Most people take sunset shots too early then artificially exaggerate the red/orange tones. Usually the sunsets are pretty poor and colourless, but if you hang around long enough a good one comes along. |

Sunset Bistro, Batu Ferringhi, 2007. Unexpectedly the nearby buildings and then the Bistro was burned down. Some people believe it was to clear the site so that a hotel development could have direct access to the beach. |
