Situated about 1 and a half hour drive from KL, Sekinchan is a small town in Selangor with lush and vast paddy fields. Here are some of the images captured:

Love the set.

I had the chance to go for a trip there last year organised by Ah Chow and it was very enjoyable. We should make another trip just before harvesting when the field is brown.

Heard so much about this place ... yeah I'd like to tumpang if anyone's going again. Nice images Siew, though the sky looks a bit too dark to me (maybe my monitor) ... doesn't really show it to be a blistering hot Saturday. Love the colors of #5 :)
