Around Georgetown
This protects the existing buildings and features from being demolished or removed.
Old signage remains above many of the shops.
The colours of the buildings are beautiful.
I took this photo especially for all my patchworking friends.
We sought out this cafe (Cafe Amelie) after reading interesting reviews of it on the web. But it was closed.
However our trip wasn’t in vain, as just around the corner we stumbled onto some of the street painting project which had been created for the George Town Festival 2012. The project consists of a number of large-scale wall paintings throughout the core heritage zone of George Town, by artist Ernest Zacharevic. You can see him talk about the project here.
We also found another of his paintings, but you’ll have to wait for a later post to see it.
