Peace be upon you dear readers. As you all might have noticed I'm currently doing articles on train stations. Yet in between I might touch on other subjects. Still it should be quite relevant such as this...
These pictures, in fact all the pictures featured in recent articles were taken in a trip down south early February. Like elsewhere, we were in Johor Bahru to take pictures of its train station...
First have a look at the skyline...
For the skyline of JB has bloomed very much compared to the years gone by.
Once upon a time you can't see any building higher than 10 stories towards this direction... at least that's how I remember it 10 years ago or so and before...
By the way the pictures above were taken from my hotel room.
I was with Faiz Al-Shahab who plays the official photographer for a certain job and down we came to check the going arounds...
Oh, it was Sunday morning... so the atmosphere was very easy, relaxed...
Towards the east, within the frames of the entrance to this street could be seen the Sultan Ibrahim building, the original 'skyscraper' of JB built more than 80 years ago...
Compare it to modern skyscrapers like these. Counting the Sultan Ibrahim building out as it used to stand just outside the boundaries (JB now is a city and its boundaries have extended far beyond) the Merlin Tower to the right was the second or so skyscraper to be built here.
Whatever, the skyscraper to this left, the Tun Abdul Razak tower was the first in JB and the only one for some time. If I remember correctly it has been around since I was 10, (that was 30 years ago)! Now time to check out the train station...
