Earlier during the day I went for a drive to Tanjung Malim, Perak...
But first I have to pass through Hulu Bernam where I decided to visit a certain favourite old mosque, the mosque of Sheikh Ismail...
The mosque is just about 200 metres to this bridge...
The bridge passes through the river Bernam which is the natural border between the states of Selangor and Perak...
And so we went to Perak where lies the town of Tanjung Malim. For the record, my wife and our one-month old baby were in tow...
While the route taken passes through town I decided to take this certain highway out...
Why? First, a look south for a view of the town of Tanjung Malim from the highway albeit not so clear...
A view to the east shows the main mountain range of Banjaran Titiwangsa in the background.
A view to the north should answer the question why I took this highway. For the record this highway is actually a flyover or an overpass over the railway tracks...
One has to use the flyover to get to this part of Tanjung Malim, the eastern section that is. Seen in the picture is the town's main mosque...
You see, the road in the previous picture used to connect the eastern section to the western part of town. That is until a few years ago when the railway double-tracking project cuts the town into half, connectable by car only through the highway/flyover shown before or another flyover further out of town...
Now its time to re-enter the western section. Just for fun I made a detour towards an urban fringe area called Proton City before returning to take the flyover near town...
And here we are in the western section where lies the town centre...
You see the bus station ahead in this picture. Sorry if it's not so clear. I took it from inside the car as it was raining...
Soon it's time to leave Tanjung Malim, through the same bridge crossing the Bernam river. That's all...
