Sri Tanjung Pinang - Straits Quay

Recently, Straits Quay has been a "hot" places for all the photographer. Photos about Stratis Quay is everywhere on blogs and facebook. So, I also join in the crowd and give it a visit just before the department annual dinner.

It is not really a very huge building, to say it as a shopping mall, it looks more like a modern port where allowed yacht to park with maybe studio suite available for rent and some shops, bistro and a street performance area.


The whole Straits Quay is covered in white (same as the E&O Hotel), the shopping area is not very tall, but the building is pretty wide and long. The main sign is nice and the ceiling is high, which makes the area looks spacious. As it is near the Christmas, a nice and tall Christmas tree is being setup.

There are 2 parking lots, one each on the left end and the right end of the building. Currently the left side of the building is still under construction, so it is the best to park at the right side car park (most of the people park there, only noob like me park at the left side).


Another shot on the front entrance. The nice "Straits Quay" sign is hanging high up...


Shots from the inside towards outside at the main entrance area.


Closer shot towards the christmas tree, there is a stage setup for performance. I like the arc and light...


Closer shot at the light (only using the 50mm lens, shows that the lamp is really huge!).
