As we approached the west coast of Florida I saw a wall of cloud to the south-east, pretty much aligned with the coast, illuminated from the setting sun to the west. I shot several frames of the scene with my Canon S100.
Here's the last in this series taken at a street theater in Georgetown, Penang on August 4, 1989. The only illumination on the audience was the spill of the stage lights so this is an available light shot sot on ISO 100 Fuji Provia. My guess is that the boy is the grandson of the bespectacled gent in whose lap his is sitting.
There weren't any 'parental controls' at this street theater performance in Georgetown, Penang. Despite the knife and sword play on the stage no one seemed concerned that there were children in the audience. Despite all the adults around, it's a young boy that is holding up an even younger boy so he can see while a third boy stands behind them, his gaze firmly on the scene unfolding before him. I wonder if they'd ever seen anything like this before.
As I mentioned yesterday, because I didn't understand the play unfolding before me on the streets of Georgetown, Penang, I turned my lens on the audience. Clearly this didn't amuse everyone. The guy in the middle looks particularly annoyed with me while the two men flanking him are also looking directly at me.
Since i really didn't understand what was happening on the stage in front of me I started turning my lens on the audience. Sitting as close to the stage as he could get was this old man. He was clearly enjoying the show.
The ferry also stops by some of the local attractions on it's way into the islands. Here it's pulling up to the limestone cliffs so the passengers can see some caves where locals gather swift nests for birds nest soup. Quite why a soup made from bird spit is so sought after I don't know. I've never tasted it myself. But I'm left wondering...
