You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.

hi
I'm not commenting on this particular shot; just looking for the a place to say you have GREAT PICTURES! Well, not all of them are....but great work!
I take it you love taking them as much as sharing them with us.
aila: couldn't have said it better. *evilgrin*
r-mantic: thanks a bunch. i wouldn't mind some constructive criticism ... that's the best way for me to improve. cheers! :)
So thats how it looks like, someday I'll take a trip to Batu Caves to photograph it :-)
Btw, I noticed you did the currency conversion wrongly. If its RM2.5m the correct conversion to USD would be USD669,379.
aiihhh ... me stupid. Correction has been made to the dollar value. Thanks so much for highlighting that bit. :)
This coming Saturday would be quite an interesting day for a photoshoot at Batu Caves, being Thaipusam and all. I'd most likely be going to catch some shots of the Kavadi processions.
i love the statue of lord murugan... i pround to be hindu...im form malaysia
