After some times, I have been given the opportunity to go to Johor Bahru, Johor. I have been to Johor Bahru a few times before, however those times were quite long time ago. I was given a ride around the Johor Bahru town by a few colleagues and we had dinner together. Thank you to En. Johari and En. Daing for their hospitality and kindness. Without them, my friend and I would not have gone out and see Johor Bahru and its glory at night. Special thanks to En. Nordin for facilitating us in our work. Essentially, without him, the work would have been harder to complete.
We stopped by the famous Danga Bay, one of the famous attractions in Johor Bahru. Danga Bay, during its infancy, was quite mundane and less attractive. There were a few rides for the children and a paid ferry service was available as visitors and their families. Stalls with some delicacies were there for tourist and locals to enjoy and some of dishes were quite tasty.
Now Danga Bay is livelier with more permanent restaurants, fun-fares and rides for children and adults alike and a pier for boats and yachts. However, I missed the stalls and the laid-back coziness they bring with them. The food-stalls were replaced with a hall designated for in-door functions. I guess prosperity is given heavier weightage on the place than the cozy and relaxing environment which I had the pleasure of experiencing quite a few years ago. How time has change. I sure hope the hawkers find better and more profitable places to continue their food-stall business.
Below are some of the photos that I managed to capture on the night. I forgot to bring my trusted tripod thus some of the captures were a bit shaky and less focused. I am sorry. I will try to do better next time.
Thank you for your time. I hope to see you all soon. Happy capturing great moments and scenes people. Bye and Wassalam.
