Tonight we are staying on a street called Lebuh Muntri and about three doors down from our hotel is a wall painting by Ernest Zacharevic. We saw her last time we were in Penang but didn't realise that the Kung Fu Girl was nearby.
She is probably about 15 feet tall and balancing on the top of two windows. Unfortunately, she is above the courtyard of a Chinese temple and the gates are locked, so it is not possible to get a picture of her straight on.
It looks as if she has just jumped over the roof and is hopping down into the temple grounds.
It is probably a good thing that she is so high up and enclosed, as the artist originally did eight paintings about a year ago, but only five are still in a reasonable condition.

ReplyDeleteWe were going to spend two weeks there staying at someone's house but they cancelled so we only spent one there as it was expensive - good though. In Penang for a few days now. Glad you enjoyed the cruise.
