In keeping with the theme of this blog, ZuttoZoom (always zoom), I start with this flower found on the grass in the old  Protestant cemetery in Penang, Malaysia.

We came across this place as we were wondering from our hotel to the shopping district known as "Little India".
One of the most interesting graves is that of Commodore Charles Grant, commanding His Majesty's Squadron in the East Indies.  Wikipedia will tell you that earlier in his career, Commodore Grant sailed under Sir Edward Pellew and later on his fleet included the HMS Sophie.

 

 It's not your eyes.  This image is slightly out of focus.

Fans of Horatio Hornblower will recognize these names.  I need to read the series again to see if Captain Grant was mentioned.  I wonder if C.S. Forester visited Penang.

The plaque in the image below was near the entrance.  There was an adjacent Catholic cemetery that we did not take the time to visit.
