One Morning in Miri (My hometown)

[ethics_gradient]

Martin s: I do have a blog. Check out my signature 😉

ethics: Can't believe you've been to miri. It is not exactly a very touristy town. Were you on your way to the caves (niah/mulu)?

Yep, I stopped there after the caves. I caught a public bus out to Hawaii Beach for the afternoon, spent the night in a small Chinese-run hotel, then flew out the next day for Mulu. Originally I was planning on flying back to Miri and then going through Brunei on my way to KK, but the direct flight from Mulu to KK had some extra room so I went with that instead.

I'd really love to go back to Malaysian Borneo, I spent about a month in Sarawak and Sabah and still missed out on a lot. Malaysia's national parks are great (and the accommodation was always clean/good value), and the people are so friendly.

I don't have too many shots from Miri online, does this dragon mural look familiar? I think the temple it was at it was near the hotel.

Here's a cross-processed shot of the beach. Not exactly sure what I was thinking with that crooked horizon :-\

Cool to see shots of my hometown by a fellow RFfer.

Not sure about the dragon mural but the beach definitely looks familiar 🙂
Haven't been to Hawaii beach for ages myself.

love #3, the geometric one, in the first group

Yes, me too.
It is so poetic in its geometrical way.

Nice series.
Thanks for sharing.

Not sure if this one works as well as #3.
This image is 'busier' thus the geometry is not accented.

Malaysia is my favourite country. I plan to retire at Tioman Island, Malaysia, one of the most beautiful places I know about. A picture from Tioman Island here:
