Football Match at Ipoh Padang

Ipoh Padang is a popular place for big event in the city, such as New Year celebration, outdoor concert, road show and sport events like cricket & football. I was passing by Ipoh Padang yesterday and got to know there were football matches here. It continues this morning & I just stop by watching for a while. Looks like this is a competition. Ipoh Padang is big enough to fit 2 football court & there were 2 matches running at the same time.

I reckon this view (if HSBC building is also in view) is easily the best postcard shot of Ipoh. Green at the fore ground and blue at the back. Buildings are not tall, being 5 to 7 storeys, but the proportions are just right. They are competing but also complementing each other, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder. And that little two-storey tucked in between is like a baby.

I totally agree with you. The view from higher ground near to Royal Ipoh Club side entrance is always the best to be captured in frame. I have seen many photos taken from this angle, even a very old postcard had picked this for the painting
