Selangor river just after the Ulu Selangor dam

OK. Let's move to excursions from the East Coast trip stories...



Saturday 11th June 2011, that's almost two weeks ago me and family attended a wedding at Kuala Kubu Bahru. Then I just felt like driving to the Ulu Selangor dam. Coming to a bridge I must stop. Here's a look behind.





The bridge is made in such a way that it looks continous as part of a highway. You wouldn't notice it is a bridge unless you really look out and has some knowledge of geography. I know the highway must cross the Selangor river at one point. Climbing up towards the main mountain range called Banjaran Titiwangsa it consists of mainly twist and turns. Around here however it extends straight for 200 metres or so and that's how I realise it must pass over a river. Besides I could see the dam building in the distance. But one needs to step out of the car to see the river.


A look down. The bridge must stand more than 50 feet above the river.


As usual I must also look at the other side.



Here's a look downriver...
