First of all HAPPY EASTER to you and your family.
Yesterday the Sultan of Johor called into Brisbane in his beautiful gold and blue 737 BBJ. I couldn't get out there for the arrival but today, with my family in tow, we headed out to the airport for the departure and to grab a few Easter Sunday snaps.
The Sultan of Johor is a hereditary seat and the nominal ruler of the Malaysian state of Johor.
In the past, the sultan held absolute power over the state and was advised by a bendahara (an administrative position within classical Malay kingdoms comparable to a vizier before the intervention of European powers during the 19th century) Now days, the role of bendahara has been taken over by chief minister.
The office of sultan is currently held by Sultan Ibrahim Ismail Ibni Almarhum, who was proclaimed as the 25th Sultan of Johor on 23 January 2010 and crowned on 23 March 2015 at the Istana Besar, Johor Bahru. His father, Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj ibni Almarhum Sultan Sir Ismail Al-Khalidi, a great-grandson of Sultan Abu Bakar died on 22 January 2010. Ibrahim Ismail, the then Tunku Mahkota of Johor (Crown Prince of Johor), was appointed as Acting Sultan of Johor on the same day. The proclamation of His Royal Highness' death was announced nationwide by the Menteri Besar of Johor, Datuk Seri Abdul Ghani Othman later that night.

I really am lucky to have an understanding wife who not only likes to come along with me and take photos but to encourage me and supports me and my passion as I peruse a dream I can never live.
