Doors of Distraction

DOORS

I’ve been looking through some of my photos to use in my next installment of my Singapore Travel Guide

I came across some photos of Georgetown Penang from a trip I did couple of years ago

As mentioned in my last post, when I’m travelling I love checking out details such as windows and doors in the older parts of a city

As well as wonderful street art, Georgetown has an abundance of photogenic doors and windows. Some can be both sumptuous and battered at the same time. I find them all very beautiful

Looking through my old photos has been a welcome distraction as last week I found out that I need to have surgery on my shoulder. I’m trying not to think about it too much until I have a definate date for surgery

A couple of years ago I traveled to Penang, Malaysia and was surprised and delighted by the street art I saw there. Cats seemed to be a popular subject for the street artists in Penang.

The names of the Perth street artists appear at the end of the post. There is also some additional information about Perth and Penang street art.

Enjoy! Continue reading
