Can you see the horse there? And a warrior standing/sitting on the horse? And the warrior is holding a sword? hmm.. lets see how far can you imagine..

2 weeks ago, I went to this cave called Kek Lok Toong, near my house, in Ipoh. Its a very nice natural cave, where lots of tourists will visit here. As I was leaving, an old man came to me and told me about this horse on the top of the cave... He asked me to look and try to figure it out... According to him..Its all natural and it had been there for hundred years...Its exactly the main entrance of the big cave.. maybe its the cave guardian... I was so impressed with it.. and decided to take the picture down and share with you guys..

The old man also told me that inside the cave, there are lots of "images" or "shapes" of our Chinese famous GODs.. What you need is some time, looking around the cave, relaxation, and you will see... kinda interesting...

it's not a warrior, Thong.It's the Goddess, Kuan Yin, sitting in her ever graceful position, watching over the caves. yes,it is lovely there, and u did capture the feeling well. only thing is i wish it is not so close cropped. thanks for sharing photos of our beautiful town:)

I can see the horse and yeah it looks more like a Kuan Yin than a warrior. a bit soft.. maybe because of the shuttle speed?

facile à trouver ! très jolie photo. bravo !

You're right! It really looks like a horse :-) Very well captured Thong! Thanks for bringing it here to TL.

Hey dude, what are you smoking over there!! Seriously I can see what you are describing. It is an interesting compilation of patterns but it appears to be out of focus to me.

Great capture Thong, and a wonderful imagination as well. I also can make out a horse shape with a person on its back...great note, I wait anxiously to see the pictures of the other 'Gods'.
