Pangkor Island Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello friends in TE,

Every time I sat foot on any island, I had this easy and carefree feeling surrounding me. I guess the life of island people that create that kind of mood. With just my old Nikon FE and 50mm 1.4 lens around my neck, the feeling was further enhanced than carrying my big Fastpack for my DSLR.

Situated just off the west coast of Perak in Peninsular Malaysia is one of the most enchanting islands you'll ever come across. Pangkor has for centuries enthralled visitors with her charming beauty. In days of old, she was the refuge of seamen who sailed through the Straits of Malacca. Pangkor's many idyllic bays made it the perfect stopover. Pirates, adventurers, merchants and soldiers of fortune sought the peace and tranquility she had to offer.

This shot was taken along the main street of Pangkor island. The shops sell assortments of dried fish and the tables laid in the background were for drying noodles.

Thanks for viewing!
