Kuala Selangor for Dinner & Fireflies

Dinning at one of the older seafood eatery (Kuala Selangor Seafood Restaurant) at Kuala Selangor town. Part of the restaurant is on stilts over the river. Here I am stretched out to take an outside-in shot without falling over the side.




While dining, you can see fishing boats going out to sea. These boats are fast!




Not part of the restaurant menu. This is a Toman (Snakehead), freshwater predator fish that can grow up to a meter and a half. Although it was in a glass tank, it proved to be quite aggressive, charging up to me when I was trying to shoot its picture. I am truly glad that there was a piece of thick glass separating us.




Fishing vessels returning during sun set.




Sorry there are no shots of fireflies. Photography was not attempted due to challenging light conditions with no flash-photography allowed at the firefly park.

On our way back, a detour up to the lighthouse.

I like the fishing boat at sunset. The approaching night gives it a magical feel.

The fishing boat shots are really nice. There's something very relaxing about watching fishing boats go out and come in from their work.

The lighthouse is so pretty with the bright light...it looks like something from a movie.
