Abandoned house, Merlimau, Malaysia, 2007

This sleeping cat was one of the few signs of life in a house that has been left for dead. The house, built in 1894, was once the home of the local tribal chief. The textures of decay remind me of the brush strokes of an oil painting. The slumbering cat, surrounded by such unlikely beauty, seems soothed by its surroundings.

Thanks for seeing the chameleon cat here, Alina. I noticed the similarity as well. As for my great eyes, such things come with experience. Just keep shooting and you will soon develop great eyes as well. In fact, you already have them.

Pitch ruin and kitten that doesn’t care what is going on. The color of the cat is identical like its surroundings. Maybe it is not a cat but chameleon? Phil you have great eyes to notice this.
