Gambar bersejarah Kuala Terengganu (Historical pictures of Kuala Terengganu)

Untuk melengkapkan siri gambar yang diambil semasa berada di Kuala Terengganu, biar disajikan sedikit lagi untuk tatapan semua... Semoga ia memberi faedah dan sedikit pengetahuan untuk semua, Insyaallah!
To complete the series of pictures taken while at Kuala Terengganu, let some more be shown for everybody's viewing... Hopefully it will bring benefit and a bit of knowledge to everyone, God willing!
Oh... Saya sudah kembali ke Kuala Lumpur petang tadi setelah bermalam di Kampung Janda Baik, Bentong, Pahang. Tetapi saya cuma dapat berehat sebentar sahaja kerana esok perlu berkelana lagi untuk kembali ke kampung ibu di Muar, Johor. Selepas itu mungkin saya akan ke Kedah untuk melihat pemandangan di utara tanah-air pula...
Oh... I am back in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon after spending the night at Kampung Janda Baik, Bentong Pahang. But I would only get a brief rest as tomorrow I have to travel again to return to my mother's hometown in Muar, Johor. After that, I might go to Kedah to see the view up north....
Untuk makluman pembaca sekalian, memang penat sentiasa berkelana begini. Tetapi buat masa ini, saya seolah-olah terpaksa kerana menurut gerak hati, selagi belum selesai beberapa perkara yang perlu dilunaskan terlebih dahulu. Perjalanan lepas sahaja sudah memakan hampir 2 minggu di Terengganu, Kelantan dan Pahang, tak tahu pula bagaimana perjalanan akan datang nanti. Penat memang penat... Bayangkan berjalan kaki berbatu-batu membawa beg sandang besar campur naik bas dan menumpang kereta serta lori orang dalam lingkungan perjalanan lebih 1,000 kemudian bermalam di masjid-masjid lama. Apa boleh buat? Itulah kehidupan seorang pengembara dalam mencari makna hidup...
For information of all readers, of course it's so tiring always travelling like this. But for the moment, it's like I have to follow my instincts, as long as certain matters are not settled first. The last trip alone took almost 2 weeks in Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang, don't know how the next one will turn out. So tired of course... Imagine walking for miles with a big rucksack plus taking buses and hitchiking cars and lorries over a distance of 1,000km or so and then spending the nights at old mosques. But what can I do? That is the life of a traveller seeking the meaning of life...
