Boys playing at the Perak River

After a day spent visiting various archaeological and cave sites in Lenggong, Perak (Malaysia) we had a slow drive through the kampungs. We found ourselves at the bank of the mighty Sg Perak at Labit, just north of Lenggong.

Hong lost in thought

A group of young Malay boys were having fun jumping into the river and playing around. They seemed fearless and weren't concerned about currents. It looked as if the river was flowing rather fast.

When they realised they had an appreciative audience they increased their antics.

After a while, Colum the Irishman decided he wanted to join in the fun. So having plucked up the courage he gave Hong a quick lesson in how to use the camera on his mini ipad -

whilst I was photographing the tree canopy -

Colum got into the river and swam around close to the bank

He then decided to copy the boys and do a runner! I was a bit slow with the shutter on the first photo and he looks as if he is coming up out of the water!!

Across the river were some beautiful cloud formations

 

 

A beautiful ending to a great day. We then headed into Lenggong town for a drink and snacks before later having dinner in the duck restaurant in Sg Siput. 23 Sept 2013.
