Ipoh is a mid-sized town in Malayasia, an historic city, built from tin mining and featuring some iconic British era colonial architecture. The mines are closed and the British have moved away, leaving behind hints of their history through the old buildings.
Picturesque bridge leading from new to old Ipoh.
The Kinta river. Nice pedestrian trestle bridge in the background. St Michael's school, looking straight out of a Jeremy Irons movie.
Main train station. Ipoh is inland and the British needed a major rail line to move all the tin to the coast for further transport.
Moving on in time, ever-present mosques.
Fountain in a central park.
Progress and pride, new building pushing out old neighborhoods and showing patriotism on a government building.
Ipoh today, not afraid of a color statement.
