An Airport Parking Apron?

I was shopping at Giant Hypermarket during this weekend. When I ready to leave, this very ordinary glass window had triggered my imagination; looking out through the airport glass window on the parking apron, the tall lamp posts & runway (the expressway). Well, I can't explain it and you may not agree with me, but this scene simply made me stop & capture the photo :)

I simply like to see expressway in Ipoh. Because somehow or rather, expressway is one of the sign of a developed area. The more number of expressway, the more the area is developed. So expressway in Ipoh is a good thing :)
