Storm Approaching

Kinta City's roof top car park is always one of my favorite locations to enjoy the view of Ipoh & its surrounding mountains. The wide angle view at every direction without many obstacles (except this Jusco tower signboard) offers us the best opportunity to observe beautiful scenery such as sunset, approaching storm & etc. I don't even remember how many photos I have captured at this angle in different time & the number of post appear here. Probably this can be an exercise of reviewing this blog.
