Sunset to dusk at Patau-Patau Dua

An evening at Kampung Air Patau-Patau Dua,
one of four traditional village on stilts in Labuan,
the others are Patau-Patau Satu,Ranca-Ranca
and Kampung Bebuloh Laut.
The villagers are mostly malay of Brunei descent
is said to have started the village in the 1930s.












Reflections of Labuan night skies.


Night view of Labuan Town through the plank walk of Patau-Patau 2.


No sign of the village here in this 1951 photo taken from an RAAF's unit,
it was probably at the bay nearby and could have shifted to the present location after reclamation works block off their access to the sea
or it could be too small to be seen by air then.
