Can Go No Wrong

The Victoria Memorial Clocktower at King Edward Place, Penang, was built by local Penang millionaire Cheah Chen Eok in 1897 to commemorate the sixtieth year of the Queen's reign. The tower was sixty feet tall, with each foot for each year of the Queen's reign. Unfortunately, she never visited Penang, nor did she ever live long enough to see her clocktower completed. By the time it was completed in 1902, the Queen had died.

Pointed Tower

The Northam Tower is the prominent commercial office tower development located in the prestigious neighbourhood of Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah (Sultan Ahmad Shah Road). The building is very, very tall. What you see is the top of the tower. I did my best to make the photo look interesting. The pointed architecture is in fact very small in the photo. After cropping, the photo became this big. The resolution is kind of low because of the zoom. Anyway, I like this photo and that's why I'm sharing it with you.
