Nature at its best❤️
Penang is a large island with a lot of character. There is more to the island than the reknown Georgetown, even though it is amazing in itself. This photo was taken near the Queensbay Mall on the southern end of Penang. Mainland Malaysia is seen in the distance. Local fishermen leave their boats close to shore, creating a beautiful spot to enjoy the water. #waterlust
Today 18 February 2015 is Chinese New Year's eve. All the streets in #penang are decorated with red lanterns which will be lit up at night.
