Hello everyone ^^

I've got a few shots of KL which I thought you may enjoy to see. The shots of the Petronas Towers are from 31st December 2000, the others are from the 30st December 2000. They are scans so sorry for the poor quality !


Petronas Towers:

I'm going back to KL on the 31st July, so I hope to make a lot of new shots :-) I'll add them here.

Merci Pengui! I think those scans are great..professional kinda tone :)
The Menara Telekom shot is awesome which shows the south suburb skyline..I hope you could do some meetups in KL :)

Sure I can, except I'll be there only for the week-end.
I'm just going there 'cause it's so cheap from S'pore and I'm so fond of the Petronas Towers ;-) I've no plan except going around the city taking shots for 2 days ^^

Great shot:applause:

cool!! more pics please??:D

A wonderful collection, Pengui, thank you! :okay: The Petronas Towers are a truly magnificent building, infinitely fascinating! :cool: I like the way you brought out the color contrast in the last photo, and the mosque's towers against the sky look great! :)

Ha...
Got a few more pics taken from Kinokuniya and the skybridge, but nothing special I believe so I didn't post them. Hopefully I'll have a lot more to add next monday ^^
You can check some of my more recent pics in the Singapore forum ;-)

Thanks a lot for your comments !

As promised... A lot more pics from this week-end !! ^^

Unfortunately the weather was pretty bad both saturday and sunday...

I went to the Capitol Hotel and asked for the view Baq kindly told me about ;-)
http://membres.lycos.fr/pengui/tour/kl/skyline03.jpg
This is 7th floor only, but not too bad already...

As it was raining and gloomy, I went to Berjaya Times Square which is just behind the Capitol. I have to say that I am sort of fascinated by this building for some reason. Maybe because I saw it as a huge and silent concrete behemoth towering above Bukit Bitang the first time I went in 2000/2001. Now it is a huge lively orange behemoth, and still towering of course !

So gigantic !!!

This indoor roller coaster is unbelievable ^^ Surreal ^^

View of the old prison and Menara The Name Is Too Long For Me To Remember ;-) Can you see Menara Telekom through the fog ?

I went to KLCC at night, of course ^^

You malaysians can be proud to have such a monument in your country ^^
Those twin towers are really something incredible. I think I could sit and watch them for hours. They do not look big, they just look great... The only thing on earth that can compete with these, in my mind, is Ayers Rock in Australia.

A few extra shots of KLCC...
Menara Maxis:

A view from the rear window of my starship, skyrocketting from KL ^^
Yes it is using some kind of SF antimatter propulsion system ;-)

On the next day I walked a lot ;-) Got a few shots and a lot of questions ;-)

I like this building, quite nice looking ^^

Wisma Denmark:

I wouldn't like to have an office between those two pieces of crap :-/ This building on the right was already abandonned the first time I came. The one on the left with the Safuan sign has the windows on, but it looks abandonned as well.

Capital Square:

It looks from this pic that they intended to build a twin to Menara Multi Purpose at some point. Obviously it didn't work. This area of KL is really a disaster, so many ruined half finished buildings ! 3 or 4 in this development only, plus the hotel and Vision city on the other side of Wisma Denmark. Any hope to see this revived some day ?

There are really 2 faces to KL...
The lively expensive shopping centres... Like Starhill

And this not so sexy although somewhat exotic face:

I'd like to conclude on a positive note...
So here is the Kuala Lumpur Flower Towers serie especially for you ^^

http://membres.lycos.fr/pengui/tour/kl/kl_tower01.jpg
These red flowers sometimes go strange and tall fruits ;-)

Some kind of big tree growing only in urban jungles.

WOW! :eek:

Fantastic pictures and captions! :okay:

Great to know you followed my orders..i mean suggestion. :D And yes, I spent hours sitting down in my room looking at the clusters. :cool:
Those flower shots are gorgeous!!! I also love that shot of KLCC from the village neigbourhood. Seems that the area still has some empty lots like a real village ;)
The Capital Square has resumed the construction their condos, malls their low rise offices except for the twin :(
Looking forward for more lah :D

Beautiful shots of KL, pengui! I especially like the pix that you took of the PTT at night...

Ha, that's good for Cap Square ^^ Ok I've seen the article on another thread. For the twin... Bah, this first tower is quite ugly btw, no need for 2 ;-)

:eek2:

Gorgeous! Those night shots of Petronas Towers are really really dazzling! :cool:

thanks for those awesome pics!!:okay:

I hope he has more pics! :D
