One of the more interesting places to visit in Penang is the Pinang Peranakan Mansion. About 100 baht equivalent gives you free reign to a two storey mansion stuffed with artefacts. I particularly liked the windows of stained glass:
The predominant colour of the window glass was red, and there were shafts of red light falling over the floors and furniture:
Best of all, there was an old sewing machine getting the red ray treatment…..
…..and casting what I thought were interesting shadows on the floor. Depending on the exposure, I could get a slightly flared look or a dull red on the floor. At the time I was convinced that these would look great as big prints; now I am convinced they may better suit the delete button; but might as well share them first given that I spent some time sitting on a dusty floor taking them whilst being stared at by bemused Japanese tourists.
