Chimney of Kian Leong Brickworks

The chimney of this abandoned brick making kiln
is about 45m high,the tallest brick chimney
that i ever come across so far in Malaysia.
During it's heydays it must be one of the main job provider
in the area besides agriculture.






A very healthy papaya tree.


A lomo-ish edit with Picasa 3.


One of the many opening into the kiln.


A collapsed part of the kiln.


A look inside the kiln.


Sample of some of its brick.




A few rows of 'Serai' or fragrant lemon grass.

  4. Those clouds are so beautiful! It is the humidity and the weather that make them billowing high up there!
