24 June 2016 – The following are some photos taken during an evening’s wander along Lebuh Armenian (Armenian Street) in George Town, Penang. The street, located right in the heart of the UNESCO heritage listed part of the city is a popular spot for visitors with its eclectic mix of shop houses, cafes, restaurants and temples. It is also the location of some street art, including the ever popular ‘Little Children on a Bicycle’ mural by Ernest Zacharevic (though it was late during a week night, there were still a quite a few tourists around taking photos with the life-size artwork).

The photos on this post were shot with the Fujifilm X-E1.
