The image of the old colonial building vs. the colourful monument, which are side by side to each other created unique sight of the photo. Its symbolize the clashed of historical Western heritage vs Eastern architectural. There are many historical buildings in Kuching, which are left by the Brooke"s family before the independent of Sarawak in 1960's. They are still preserved till this day as to mark the heritage of our state, Sarawak. Do bring along your wide-angle lens as some of the buildings are extremely wide and tall to be shot with standard lens.

The cemetary is located at St Joseph's Cathedral. It is one of the oldest Christian's cemetary site in Kuching. Why taking picture of the cemetary? There has always been something unique and mysterious about the place of the dead. People scared to appreciate the beauty of the serenity grave-yards as they are bound to the custom of believing that such a place is taboo for the living. As we can see in the picture, the image of the cemetary is worth appreciated.
