Langkawi, Malaysia, Mar 2008

Visit to Langkawi, Malaysia (followed by Penang, Malaysia) in March 2008. Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea and not to far from Penang. Langkawi can be reached by air or by sea. The beaches are lovely, the people very tourist friendly. Places to stay can range from USD 15 to USD 300 and above per night. Great place to visit.

Welcome to Langkawi. Eagle Square / Dataran Lang is Langkawi's most prominent landmark for visitors arriving by sea. Situated near the Kuah jetty, the main attraction of the square is the magnificent statue of the reddish brown eagle majestically poised for flight. According to local folklore, the name Langkawi itself is derived from the eagle or "helang". In old Malay, "kawi" denotes reddish brown - hence, Langkawi means reddish brown eagle!

If Photography is not your profession, then you are in wrong profession ( I will say that if I did not know you).

I cannot say this thing about you as you are equally/more good in your existing profession. God bless you.

Panos are well done but perhaps a waste on Langkawi as the scenery is not as scenic as in USA or Australia with it’s blue sky.

Blue skies .... wow, that's a rare sight in Singapore and Malaysia! Nice color and lighting on the eagle.
