Dreams Do Come True -2009

'Splash!','Splash!..These were in my dreams too..Big fishes..here and there..I looked up the translation of that dream, but in dismay.Until I came and explore Padang,West Sumatra..the truth revealed!

A Peaceful Journey in Padang -2009

It's not one but numerous houses here in Padang;each has their own pond..Just like in my dreams; I saw a simple house surrounded by water. There were big fishes in that water!

Wonders of Padang / Bukit Tinggi

Dreams do come True! Once, I had a secret Dream.I saw a mosque surrounded by water. Water.Water..everwhere;I thought,it was just a dream.Yet,I came face to face with reality.It does exist in Padang!

I love the Classic Minangkabau Architecture/Structure.Some may call it 'Rumah Dagang'. To know more about the culture...Let's visit Bukit Tinggi/ Padang.

This is one of my snapshots as we, my group tour bus pass by the village at Padang, towards Bukit Tinggi. A pleasant sight-seeing journey.

It's not ordinary ground;but paddy field, herbs and spices were seen here.The magnificient Taman Panorama overlooks the amazing Sianok Canyon.

A magnificient View - 2009

A valley floor of rice paddy not to be missed. As you can see, this beautiful piece of landscape touched my heart; the lake, countryside and surrounding valley provide much inspiration to those in need. This is the place where Late Prof. Dr. HAMKA once stayed; his little home is right behind the Minangkabau House. I missed this part..But, next time, I hope to reach there..may be.
