KUALA LUMPUR TOWER
The Kuala Lumpur Tower (officially known as Menara Kuala Lumpur; referred later as KL Tower) is a tall tower located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Its construction was finished in 1995. It is used for communication purposes and features an antenna that reaches 421 m (1,381 ft), which currently makes it the second tallest freestanding tower in the world. The roof of the pod is at 335 m (1,099 ft). The rest of the tower below has a stairwell and an elevator to reach the upper area, which also contains a revolving restaurant, providing diners a panoramic view of the city. Races are organised yearly where participants race up the stairs to the top. The tower also acts as the Islamic falak observatory to look for the crescent moon to mark the beginning of Muslim month of Ramadhan, Syawal, and Zulhijjah, to celebrate fasting month of Ramadhan, Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Aidiladha. The tower is the landmark of Kuala Lumpur with nearby Petronas Towers.
THE PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS IN KUALA LUMPUR, in Malaysia. I was laying down on the street for this photo. I was out walking and couldn’t get a good view, so I hired a taxi driver to take me to the twin towers for the photo. I said, I don’t want to be too close or too far away, so I could get a nice shot of them lit up at night. Lo and behold, he drove to and parked right across the street from them. Like I said, to get a good shot I had to get down as low as possible and shoot up! I think it was worth the cab fare.
