Abandoned, Majestic Still

After a week of hospital incarceration and another at home post surgery I'm come down with cabin fever and need to escape, to some place where I don't pick fights with the parents for a bit.

This is the Ipoh Railway Station and Majestic Hotel. I've seen this landmark crumble and succumb to abandonment over my lifetime, which breaks my heart. It's featured in many of my memories with my mother and my flute playing days. I recall playing the flute in a workshop in the room under that dome. Crying shame that a place called the Taj Mahal of Ipoh suffers such a fate. Especially after the last Ipoh tree in the garden here falling over earlier this year.
