the blue mansion Photo

Photographer’s Note

A scene in old Georgetown...

The first time we visited the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, there was still a lot of work to be done. The architects and historians in charge showed us around and complained about the high-rises a bit further up the street and the many difficulties they faced doing restauration work in Penang.

These days this wonderful mansion, which because of its striking colour is commonly known as 'the blue mansion', houses a splendid hotel and has become one of the top attractions of Georgetown.

Note: The rikshaws did not belong to the mansion. In fact, they're not even Malaysian. They were brought in for the filming of the French movie Indochine.

Hi Benny!
Good shot of these rickshaws in front of this nice blue facade.
When I was in Georgetown a few years ago I was more fascinated by the amazing Thaipussam festival.

Bonjour Benny,
A very beautiful composition around these three colors: beige, blue and black.
The centring is really excellent to emphasize the graphics. It is extremely well realized.
Congratulations
Diane
