In Penang, Malaysia, you will find a mosque called the Floating Mosque. Because this mosque is built on pillars in the sea, it looks like it floats or floats on the water. Its official name is Masjid Terapung Tanjung Bungah.
Next to the mosque, there are fishing boats waiting to set sail every day. During our visit, it was low tide and many boats were lying on dry land waiting for the tide to return. This image caught my eye because of the lines that take you into the distance.
The sober image with the colourful boat in the foreground are an asset to any interior. The reflection of the boat in the layer of water adds mystery to the picture.
The perspective makes the transition between water and sky almost invisible and makes you feel included in the big picture without getting lost. These fishing boats show that life is very simple for many people and that a lot can be achieved with little means.
