Qing Ming 2011

Time really flies; it is Qing Ming again. The festival falls on the 15th day after the Spring Equinox (usually 4, 5 or 6th April). This year it falls on the same calender day as last year; 5th April 2011. But as usual we went early; this time two sundays prior (for convenience).

I posted on the event last year, so I did not take any further photos apart from the panorama above. This is only a small portion of the Chinese Cemetery at Mile 5½ Jalan Tuaran.

What was unusual about this cemetery was that The Fire Department had its Head Office located in the midst of the cemetery!

I did hear some talk of the staff's unhappiness when they moved in (many years ago); I suppose they are used to the situation now.
