The Khoo Clan House, Georgetown, Malaysia



Khoo Kongsi looks like a temple, and in the sense that it is intended to house family gods, it is.

After Midnight in Malaysia's Taman Negara

Phosphorescent Fungi! (The Midnight Forest World)


Midnight Forest World

It's an hour or two past midnight and I'm standing in the rainforest without a light. The moon is absent, just a day or two away from new. The Muslim world waits for the first appearance of the waxing crescent which will signify the end of Ramadan. I wait for my irises to dilate as far as possible in what seems a total darkness...
