Batu Caves

For my last day in Malaysia I ventured outside the city to visit the nearby Batu Caves. This is an amazing site by any standard. It is an early Hindu ritual site, essentially what feels like a naturally existing Cathedral. The sandstone mountains open up to provide a surreal setting for a hindu ceremony.




Sounds echo, the light is dramatic and the texture of the walls speaks volumes. An architect would struggle to produce such an effect.




No I move north to Thailand. Be back soon… : )
