Location : Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.
The last couple of days witnessed Kuching at its most colourful state ever seen. FB photographers had a field day. Council street sweepers worked extra hard.
Like a stroke of magic from Mother Earth, streets of Kuching were showered with white, pink, crimson, yellow and orange flowers…..from trees some more than half a century old. Generous late bloomers! Never have we seen here of such phenomenal range and variety. This is one climatic change we will embrace, anytime.
