Views from tower of Batak Rabit mosque

Continuing from Perak river from Batak Rabit during extraordinary high tide.


At around 7.40 the water subsided and the mosque compound was not flooded anymore. That's when I decided to go to an original part of the mosque...


This is the minaret or call to prayer tower of the Batak Rabit mosque. While many parts of the mosque has been renovated this one stays the same since more than a century ago.



I went up to the highest part of the tower to check out the views...






That's the Perak river. You can see the water has ceased to overflow...





















At the tower you can see old roofs with the year 1865 imprinted on it. This is an indication that the mosque is more than 150 years old.
