More from our travels. This time it's the Portuguese Settlement in Melacca, Malaysia. Apparently the Church across the red house has been around since the 1700's, and not far from here is a fort that dates back to the 1500's. It was really a spiritual (and gastronomic) experience  going to our ancestral roots. While a trip to Portugal, might be on the cards... to visit the motherland, so to speak. More soon.

044/365 13 February 2010

Went to the Chinese new Year celebrations at Boxhill. Had a nice dinner with a few old friends, did the walk around the night market, and then shot some pool to end the night. Good fun and great company. As with most times like this, there a also a few shots that didn't quite make it to My 365. You can find them in my Not 365 (there are quite a few tonight).

Anyway, today's shot was of one of the stalls at the market. I love the guy's laboured expression as he makes his BBQ pork. That and the fact that it's Chinese New Year's Eve, so he has a crisp new shirt on, as he is engulfed in smoke, just makes for a lovely picture.
