IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT

1. A late nocturnal excursion in town helped to reveal some aspects of the city which we seldom see in the course of the normal visit.The hues and colors as captured by the lenses and the steady adjustment of the camera and the tripod stand added a new dimension. One particular thing that came to mind was the variety of street lamps in the city that either decorate or illuminate the streets and its surroundings.That naturally will become a subject for review.

The State Museum at Bakar Bata mystifies as if its own collections helped to add to the magic of the night with the shrouded cloud above its roof.

These lights stand as sentinels alongside the Anak Bukit Road giving spirited confidence to those who pass by and guaranteeing safety to those behind its walls.

The new gate to the istana. A facade that appeared with the celebration of the Sultan of Kedah golden anniversary recently.

Light at the courtyard of Wisma DarulAman, the State Administrative building.


Wisma Darul Aman

No visitor to the city will miss viewing the magnificent Balai Besar right in the centre of the City


Another view of the wall fronting Istana Anak Bukit

Perhaps the brightest section of the City even late in the night



This is the Rukun Negara Fountain at the round- about along Jalan Teluk WanJah and Jalan Sultan Badlishah in the city




Wisma Negeri in the centre of the City, was at one time the seat of the government


Soon enough before dawn the devout will approach Zahir Mosque, one of the most beautiful mosque in the country




Two pictures taken at Titi Gajah with the lights of the airport in the background. The padifield in the foreground and the darkening sky remind us of the threatening seasonal flood that comes far too often A new park built at Jalan SukaMenanti with the characteristic kris as one of its symbol perhaps lent a strong sense of confidence to those who wish to wonder around in the dead of the night.

For the photographer crazy enough to hit the street and whereabout of the city at the dead of the night, it was not surprising that those who met him wonder if he was a 'seeker' or a 'ghostbuster' moving around with his SLR Nikon and a steady tripod stand.
