My World #69: Christ Church, Malacca

It was a lovely weekend around these parts – Sunday the temp was up as high as low 80s.  A weather meant for walking in the park.  And following two weekends in a row of wet, cold, and breezy weekend, we took advantage of this upturn in the weather.  That’s why both days my husband and I went out to walk in two different parks and brought our cameras to shoot.  I uploaded these new images on my PC then walked away and did some chores.  When I was ready to blog, my PC was not responding. It seems like it’s affected by some virus again.  I am blogging from my laptop right now.  Call me old fashioned but I am more of  PC person.  I just love my mouse 😀

So without access to my new images, I have to go to plan B – which is browse thru my pics on Flickr and see what I can share for today.  I am hoping that nothing really bad happened to my images.   Keeping my fingers crossed.

This is my plan B for this week:

From Wikipedia:  Christ Church is an 18th century Protestant church in the city of Malacca, Malaysia. It is the oldest functioning Protestant church in Malaysia and is within the jurisdiction of the Lower Central Archdeaconry of the Anglican Diocese of West Malaysia.

The church is built in Dutch Colonial architecture style and is laid out in a simple rectangle of 82 feet by 42 feet. The ceiling rises to 40 feet (12 m) and is spanned by wooden beams, each carved from a single tree. The roof is covered with Dutch tiles and the walls were raised using Dutch bricks built on local laterite blocks then coated with Chinese plaster. The floors of the church are paved with granite blocks originally used as ballast for merchant ships.^[4].

The original Dutch windows were reduced and ornamented after the British takeover of Malacca and the porch and vestry were built only in the mid-19th century. [wikipedia]

I am hoping this is not a duplicate post.  If God allows it I would love to be able to return to Malaysia and explore other areas.

MY WORLD is here. Join us.
