Photographer’s Note

Thanks to Gracious and Valerka for suggesting, it solves my 50-50 thought whether abou padi fields or clouds.
Now it is very sunny in Perlis,the shot is during a strong afternoon sun.
Perlis is the smallest state of Malaysia and is situated in the northwest of the Peninsular. It's flanked by Thailand in the north, and by Kedah to the east and south. Its western coastline borders the Straits of Malacca. It measures approximately 810 sq km and has a population of 217,480. The state capital is Kangar (here's the government), while Arau, 10km away, is the Royal town.

Although small in size, Perlis is not without its attractions, foremost among which is its serene unspoilt beauty. Perlis, too, abounds with rustic rural scenes and rolling green fields of padi. There's not much tourism.
Even the capital Kangar is surrounded by padi fields, which sometimes look green and sometimes golden. That depends of course on the season.
Main towns in the state include Kangar, Arau, Kuala Perlis and Padang Besar.
Kuala Perlis is an important ferry terminal for visitors heading for the famed island of Langkawi while Padang Besar is one of the major entry points for visitors from Thailand travelling by road or rail into Peninsular Malaysia.From Perlis comes the latest king of Malaysia. To be exactly: his royal residence is in Arau.
In Aurau is the Royal Palace (Istana Di-Raja) and the State Mosk (Masjid Negeri).
The full name of the king is:
Agong Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Syed Putra Jamalullail
