Penang is an island city/province in Malaysia, with a historic center and trading port as well as multiple mountainside temples influenced by Chinese and Thai cultures. I visited here in the spring of 2017, when the pungent Durian fruits were apparently in season! My camera’s art filter was mostly used in these photos to make the colorful cultural momuments and scenery pop out more.

Touring the central parts including Georgetown, Fort Cornwallis, the cruise seaport and jetties

Visiting the multitude of amazing temples in the area, all very ornate and colorful

Panoramic views from top of the mountain, with a cloud cover that gradually clears out

Walking around some of the city’s modern residential, shopping & dining areas and also the boat marina by evening
