A beautiful sight in front of us, with mainland Malaysia just about a few kilometers across the channel; until I noticed the large pile of rubbish topping the hill!
Crossing the stream to reach the other stretch.
Overlooking the spectacular 13.5-kilometre long Penang Bridge connecting the island to mainland Malaysia, this direction also faced the east which means it should be a nice place to catch the sunrise too.
On a Sunday evening, I can sense its popularity with the locals; many were jogging, strolling, some alone, some with the entire family, including kids and/or grandparents. Relaxing, it sure was!
Said to be the works of Hitori Nakayama, the above area contained art pieces like the 'Celebration of Our Blue Sky' and the 'Rhythm of Light'.
Rhythm of Light; in the design of a musical notes.
Frankly, I found them pretty rundown.
And rightfully so according to the plaque I found. These were installed before 29 May 2008 and about to be twenty years of age in 3 years' time! Having said that, I thought there would be some maintenance in place to spruce up the sculptures, like a fresh coat of paint maybe?
Aside from those along the pavement, some preferred to step beyond the boundary and fish! I got it that it could be quite therapeutic, especially with the view in front but I am sure this activity would be deemed too boring for a hyperactive person like me.
