It almost seems ironic that Brooke Dockyard was formed in the same year as the Titanic sunk, may be an earlier realisation on the Importance of having repair facilities for the white Rajah’s boats.

Records stated that Brooke Dockyard was planned in 1907 at about the same time as the Railway. Excavations commenced in 1907 but was brought to a halt in 1909 when the contractor absconded. Work was finally completed in 1912 and the Dock Declared open by the Ranee Muda on 31st May 1912.

Here is the drawing of new development extend until The Brooke Yard.

Daily Photo-People of Sarawak.

Sarawak is truly multi-ethnic in nature. The politically dominant Malay Melanaus comprise 20 per cent, the commercially powerful Chinese comprise 30 per cent and the rest is made up of 26 non-Muslim indigenous communities collectively referred to as Dayaks ,Iban,Kelabit and Kenyah.

The ethnic barriers are broken down further by the high percentage of mixed marriages registered estimated at 30 per cent of all mixed marriages in Malaysia annually."

I love both colour and monochrome.The coloured photo has its own artistic side,look at the picture above two people with classic uniform they are not the Police Officer.

This people are from Land Survey Department and are participating in a event celebrated in Kuching last year 2008.I try a monochrome conversion to the picture above as the uniform wear by the two peoples look classic to me.

I can see another beauty in monochrome and as I say monochrome and colour has its own attraction.

Thanks for viewing and Happy Monochrome Monday everyone.
