PhotoHunt- Road

RoadRoad surrounded by lush greenery

There is lush greenery all along the roads in Penang and I love it.

As part of on-going efforts to enhance the city's greenery ambience, the City Council has adopted various concepts and carried out numerous activities in its greening efforts along walkways and roadsides in Penang. With all the towering buildings and the construction works going on in the city, it's great that these trees add a nice touch to the roads and environment.

  1. It's good that there is still lush greeneries in Penang. :) In malacca....not much green left. Only concrete and bricks!

  2. A laudable job from the people in authority. I think every city should adopt a greening program. Not only is it pretty on the eyes, it's good for the environment too.

  9. I would love to go for a drive through this beautiful road. I miss that in my city, tall trees, instead rubbish and tall buildings.

  15. I wish all road can be lush like that.

    My neighbourhood just underwent a "pruning" exercise. What it meant is - chopping down trees instead of trimming branches. :(

  27. YTSL,
    these were taken at Jalan Utama (Western Road).

    ECL,
    There are definitely areas of Penang that are filled with concrete but the best part is that greenery areas are not that far from the built up structures.

  31. Looking at tree photos with abundant leaves take away stress. Everytime I feel the need to let go of stressful moment, I stay at my window and observe the trees. Indeed, they are relaxing to look at.
