One luxury of living on a hill facing Kuala Lumpur (tag) is the chance to witness the city skyline during sunset. This was taken yesterday, around sunset, if it isn’t apparent enough.
In the middle is a silhouette of Menara Celcom (I think), a building that stands near the intersection of Jalan Gurney and Jalan Tun Razak. The photo was taken from the northwestern side of the city, looking southeasterly.Menara Celcom, perhaps, marks the transformation of my area – Titiwangsa and Kampung Datuk Keramat – from a medium density residential area into high density. The composition has also changed – more Arabs now here than there was five or six years ago.
Talking about Jalan Gurney (aka less famous Gurney Road), overzealous nationalists renamed it to Jalan Semarak in the 1990s if my memory serves me.
Digressing, oi Penangnites, Kuala Lumpur had Gurney Road too. Stop thinking of Penang, Penang, Penang whenever you hear Gurney Road. The universe doesn’t evolve around the Earth, much less around Penang. Bah!
It does however, ahem, evoles around __earth. I know, that’s lame.
I have another version of the pix – well, several others in fact. Though some of them are sharper than this one, the colors somehow ran amok and inaccurate. The navish sky for instance was shown as grey while the reddish cloud was overly bright.
p/s – hey dreamstate, would love to see that ps’d shot. =)
