St. George’s church, a photo from Pulau Pinang, West

Photographer's Note

St. George’s church is set next door to the Penang state museum & art gallery. Built in 1817 by the East India company using convict labour, it is southeast Asia’s oldest Anglican church and one of the oldest buildings in Penang. The architecture and design is largely Greek and relatively unpretentious. The gracefully proportioned building was designed by captain Robert Smith whose beautiful oil paintings still hang in the Penang state museum. The interior is a cool pastel blue with marble floors and outside the main building on the church grounds is a memorial to Sir Francis Light in the form of a Greek temple – an elegant pavilion with definite Victorian style to it. It was built in 1886 on the centenary of the founding of Penang; just down the road is the double-spired cathedral of the Assumption.

Hello Miguel,
It's a well composed photo of the church with its modestly plain exterior and the small pavilion at the entrance. Trees provide nice frames and it's perfectly exposed.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Miguel,
A great shot of this beautiful white church in front of the blue sky. The sunlight was lovely and the exposure of the many white walls is excellent. Good viewpoint and composition too, with a nice inclusion of the tree on the left.

I remember this church form the posts of one of the members of TE. I liked its classic style and it is contrasting the tower of the church and its shapes ahead.curious mix.

Hi Miguel,

Les arbres cadrent bien la scène. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de l'église anglicane Saint-Georges. La lumière fait ressortir la beauté des couleurs. Bonne soirée.

Hello Miguel
Interesting church and a chapel in the classic Greek style. It is very white./ Strange element is this sharp tower with the clock on it.
Happy healthy Easter

Hi Miguel,
I would never guess the location of this sight!
My bet would be east coast of USA.
Interesting design. I think building would look quite differently if it was not all white.
Great reportage showing less known to me aspect of this country.
