The highest point of Titiwangsa Monutain Range, Mount Korbu, is just one of the peaks seen in this photo (I think is the one covered by clouds at right). Mount Korbu achieves height of 2,183m above sea level and is the second tallest mountain in Peninsula Malaysia. However, the lump of cloud that formed above it simply looked like another giant mountain which is more than double the height of Titiwangsa Mountains. I have seen this mountain of clouds appear on top of Titiwangsa Mountains for several times. I believe this geological backbone of Peninsula Malaysia is influencing the air flow in atmosphere and causing the formation of cumulus clouds above it.
Ipoh, the capital city of Perak State, Malaysia, is the city that tin built. Located at the famous tin mining area, Kinta Valley, it used to be the world's largest tin mine since 19th century. Not only of its tin mine, but Ipoh also famous of its delicious food, beautiful mountain ranges, mysterious lime stone caves, attractive history & friendly citizen. Being the second in Malaysia that gain the status of city in year 1988 after Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is one of the major cities in Malaysia with the population around 700,000. Began as a small village in 1870's, tin mine industry had brought in Chinese and Indian that boosted the town development since 1890's. The rapid growing town later upgraded to be the capital of Perak during the Japanese occupation at World War II. The rich tin resource had brought prosperity to many Ipoh miners that even make it once known as the City of Millionaires. Today, Ipoh has grown to cover a large area including the neighboring township such as Bercham, Tasek, Jelapang, Menglembu, Pengkalan, Simpang Pulai & Chemor. The city is still developing continuously while maintains its beauty of nature and harmony.
We are living in a busy world. We often have no time to appreciate the moments in our daily life. Take a break, stop & look around. There are many beautiful things, although it is simple & humble. I learn to gain a better life by appreciation & would like to share the images in my world.
Especially good photo with the magnificent clouds and palm trees and green colors!
