Flower on the tomb


Flower, originally uploaded by stareternity.

This is a flower which I picked up from the ground and placed it on a tombstone.

I was told that this flower named Frangipani, commonly found in cemetery. From my father, he said Bunga Kemboja, usually the Malays planted this at the cemetery.

I took this picture at Protestant Cemetery in Georgetown Penang where in this cemetery, many great men in the past were buried. They are Captain Francis Light, the founder of Penang island, Reverend Hutchings, the founder of Penang Free School, and many more.

This land shall be preserved eternally in remembrance of the early settlers who contributed a lot in development of Penang.
