Floating mosque, Melaka
by Adelheid Smitt

This is an image I had seen on Flickr and I made a point of stopping in Melaka on the way from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. Melaka is an interesting and historic town (UNESCO) with a rich past. The floating mosque sits on the waterfront and a little stone pier attracts a lot of photographers, especially when the sunset is as colourful as this one.
