Views of Brunei's golden-domed mosque and its surroundings

Continuing the Brunei trip stories...


Monday 2nd August we went to Masjid Omar Ali Saifuddin (also spelt Saifuddien) famous for its golden dome, said to be actually built using solid gold!


Besides it lies a lake which provides interesting perspective to the surroundings.

There is some sort of barge permanently moored at one side.


Let's take a walk across the lake.








A look behind and you can already see the kind of angle provided from the lake.





The end of the walkway...






There lies a village called Kampung Kedayan along the lake's perimeters.



























Walk a certain distance and you could see the barge with respect to the mosque.










For information most postcard pictures of this monumental landmark of Brunei were taken from around here. You can find such pictures using Google and make comparisons...
