Looming Korbu Peaks

It was a rainy Sunday morning. The cool and refreshing weather is such a nice atmosphere for the off day. I truly enjoy this relaxing environment and beautiful landscape after rain. Some thick clouds, which should be heavier than normal, are crawling along Titiwangsa Range and intermittently hiding Korbu peaks from our sight. The looming peaks are seen to be more mysterious and charming.
