Revisiting the Gunung Semanggol mosque



After Bukit Merah we went to the nearby small town of Gunung Semanggol. Here lies a small mosque which I liked to stop at whenever I passed this area.



Actually I stopped by after bringing the wife and baby around to see a number of places around Gunung Semanggol.



As dusk approached we need to take a break from all the travelling.



Remember it was the Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan. After a whole daytime of abstaining from drinks and food apart from other things we were obliged to break the fast at dusk.



So might as well break our fast here apart from taking a rest.


Anyway here's a look inside the mosque after dusk.


I took this picture after the Maghrib (after dusk) congregational prayer.



There. A look outside during the dark. For information this is the last article in this blogspot about the northern trip made during the Muslim fasting month in the year 2010.



A visit to Bukit Merah Laketown Resort

Peace be upon you all. Today the 31st of March 2011 it's time to bring the curtain on the northern trip stories. For that I need to make a few articles starting with this. Come... :]


From the jetty to Pulau Aman we headed towards the North-South highway (see Views from the jetty to Pulau Aman). We took the highway down south until an exit in Perak leading to small road.



The small road leads to a resort.



Welcome to Bukit Merah Laketown resort...


What's special about this place?



Let's have a look...



This resort has an amusement park. But I was more interested about something else.



So I found my way to that interest...



Can you guess what that interest is?







Yep. That's right. I was interested in the views around this lake.






For the record this is the 707th article in this blogspot.

Views from the jetty to Pulau Aman

Continued from The river view at Juru.

Next we went to an area south of the hill of Juru.

There's a jetty here to a certain resort island.

Ahead is the resort island called Pulau Aman.

Let's go down.



Just enjoy the views ya...














The river view at Juru

From the island section of Pulau Pinang we got to the mainland section called Seberang Perai and headed towards Juru, particularly the northern end of the main hill there.


There's a fisheries area...



For it lies close the mouth of the Juru river.





A look towards inland.



A look across.
