This is the first time that we are officially joining Frizztext’s A-Z archive photo challenge. This week’s letter is P and as such, my theme is on Prayer and Places of Worship.
We were pretty lucky when we visited Kuala Lumpur – our kind and generous hosts devoted an entire day for us to visit various places of worship. Here are a few photos from that visit.

thank you for joining P-challenge with your topic PRAYER!
Truly my pleasure, so sorry for the belated post, was simply inspired by TMB’s Peacock. Was a last-minute thing.

You are certainly taking on so many challenges, Myra. Thank you for these beautiful photos & the quotes too. I love those little candles on the stairs & the one of you and your daughter-beautiful!
Hi Linda, I thought that since we’re already doing Photo Journal, we might as well be strategic and also participate in challenges related to photo enthusiasts. I’m sure we’d also learn a lot from visiting other photo blogs.
Wonderful…I love seeing different cultures. That is one of the reasons why I love to travel, I learn so much about all the wonderful people in this world. Great job!
Hi TBM! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
