[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Driving 6 hours from Kuching by road to Sibu is a tiring trip. But 2 hour after the start, along the right side of the road, you will notice a white chapel on a hill. It was said that a man stopped here one day facing some problems and received some help. Later he became very rich and donated to build this chapel as a way to show his appreciation to God's help.

A few photos were taken and this is one of them. It looks like 3 white candle sticks to me. Without the 3 whiet towers, perhaps it will be just plain unattractive. What do you think? Thank you for viewing. Regards, Bill

Hi Bill,
Candle stick facade ... like a barbican of a castle. Medieval & modern architecture. Interesting chapel on the edge of the forest. Nice multi level composition. Have a nice weekend. Latiff.

Hi Trekks!
Very intersting chapel. Nice architecture. Wonderful natural colors. Good lightness. Original perspective. Good take.
Cheers!

Hello Bill.
Beautiful chapel it is. It suits very well in the picture.
Colours of the greens with the white and blue and creaming by the red bushes. Good lighted without oe on the white.

I want to live here. Excellent Landscape.

Startling structure - it stands out so well against the green surroundings. It looks like a cross between the space shuttle and a dairy factory!
Good sharpness, composition, and framing.

Hi Bill,
Unusual design for a church ... looks like a space shuttle. It does blend nicely with the surrounding ... but I guess what is important is inside which is a place of worship. Possibly the architect's had the idea of lifting the worshipers to heaven. Well seen and captured ... interesting story. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Hello Bill. Nicely drawn perspective of this spaceship like church from low angle. The white candles and the blue roofing make good contrast to the green forest. Good exposure and well framed for TE. Best regards. Jusni

Hello Bill,
This is a nice white chapel in an unusual design!
I notice the modern attractive architecture and the location could not be better in the midst of nature...
A well balanced composition, rich colours and fine details!

Hi Bill,
Sorry for my long days of delay from writing my comments for your photos. Been busy and not feeling quite well.

Very interesting idea of composition. I like what Latiff mentioned about multi level here. Beautiful architecture in front of a greatly detailed foliage. Very nice shot, Bill.

Regards,
Ramdan.
