New look of Masjid Jamek Kuala Lumpur coming...

Yesterday I felt like dropping by at the Masjid Jamek (main mosque of) Kuala Lumpur and found some really pleasing sights and progress...

For the record the mosque is under major renovation works since last year or so...

It involves extending its courtyard and beautifying the surroundings.

Canopies like those available at the grand mosque of Madinah, the Masjid (mosque of) Nabawi have also been erected.

I can see that the works are almost complete.

When completed I would like to take another round of pictures to be served in my bilingual blogspot, SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART).

Relaxing at the Sungai Rambai rest stop

Continuing from The new esplanade at Tanjung Emas.

I left Muar to return home in the evening. Arriving at Sungai Rambai which is the entry point to the state of Melaka I decided to check out its rest stop.

I've been pass this bridge many many times. But this is the first time I decided to the check the rest stop besides.

The bridge crosses the Kesang river, the natural boundary between the states of Melaka. Looking at the signboard I just found out the river is a habitat for crocodiles...

The river itself looks tranquil.

But who knows the danger that may lurk in?

Walking downriver you could see this signboard.

There is a hanging bridge offering good views around...

Looking back towards the bridge and upriver...

The new esplanade at Tanjung Emas

Continuing from More walking around the town of Muar.

Another part of Muar I used to regularly walk at is the recreational area of Tanjung Emas.

Situated besides the Muar river it offers a refreshing look at things.

This part of Tanjung Emas has a new esplanade.

It was closed for quite some time, about 2-3 years if I remember correctly to make way for some repairs and renovation and was only opened back about a month ago...
