Kellie's Castle at Near Dusk

Kellie's Castle

Been holding back on this set for a very long time. They are the last set of my Le Tour of Old Road to Taiping. It was satisfying and tiring.

Guess, when you hold something for so long, their colors tend to rise up - LOL.

Stairways

Stairways to the upper floor

The stairways to the upper floor in Kellie's Castle really caught my eyes. Had a hard time setting up the tripod with the tight space and crowds running up & down. With no wide angle & a crop body, planting the tripod was a real fun game. I respect the local tourist that gave way for my shot - they actually stopped for my bracket shots to finish.

Coming back to le tour to Taiping.
Still at Kellie's Castle, this time I mounted my tripod at the hallway where the lines & bricks just gave me the chills when I was capturing it. But then waiting for people to get out of the way just made me ignored those chills. After I shot the two floors hallway, the wife told me to read about an eerie story behind it...

Rear view of the castle

The numerous days was a little hectic on me with the heat then sudden cold made my schedule running berserk!! Been holding this for more than a week now but with time was not on my side, I could only update it today. Thank you for the visits and being featured in Instagram Malaysia was really a colour sight to this sore head.

Kellie's Castle - The Rear wing

The unfinished construction

The scorching these past few days really making me not in the mood for anything except water, water and more water intake! I barely even touch the computer not until my son requests for his online play date that I'll swing along to use it.

This time however, is the Kellie's Castle rear wing which was supposed to be for the owner's wife/kids. It was a magnificent piece I must say with the decaying paint really brings out the structure.

Side view / Main stairs entering the castle

Weekend is over, which means I can go back tethering my phone for many other things than Facebook - LOL.

This is Kellie's Castle (Wiki facts), an English castle located in Batu Gajah, Perak which was constructed before the 2nd World War. It didn't get to finish due to war & outbreak but this is (I think), the only original English castle in Malaysia.

The journey of le old road to Taiping landed us here as our last pit stop as it was near to sunset and to our luck it was still opened for public due to the current school holidays. This is the side view of the castle once you climb up the main stairs towards it.
