August 10, 2007. I stayed a night at a budget hotel in Penang. I was travelling alone. My initial plan was to photograph the red coloured Nepenthes ampullaria (pitcher plant) at the summit of Penang hill. However, when I reached the foothill of Penang hill on the following day, I saw so many tourists buying tickets at the cable car station. I changed my mind to explore this hill as I don't like to go tourist destination. I prefer to explore places where there are not many people hanging around.
Beautiful night scenary of Penang:
I drove for few hours from Penang to Kedah state in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. About 10am, I saw a beautiful mountain near a small town. I decided to climb that mountain. When I drove pass a bridge, I saw a lot of water plants on the drain. I went down to check it out & saw Egeria densa and a species of Blyxa growing abundantly there:
