[967] Of at last, blue sky

I’m so glad that the haze has stopped for now. Nevertheless, blue sky is still a rare commodity this time of the year. Whereas the choking smog has gone, the gloomy cloud fills the void. The cloud relentlessly blocks the sun, like how it is in Ann Arbor. Day in, day out. All that makes me appreciate blue sky even more.

One of the few other things that make me love blue sky so much is the chance it gives me to learn and practice photography:

It may not look that much but hey, saya masih belajar!

I wanted to play around with the colors but I find out long ago, and again today that trying to improve photo digitally on a laptop with an LCD is extremely hard.

Techical stuff aside, the photo was taken from the base of the Petronas Twin Towers, looking towards Jalan Sultan Ismail. Jalan Sultan Ismail is probably Kuala Lumpur’s unofficial central business district. The word jalan means ‘road’ or ‘street’ in the Malay language.

I have two other photos that point towards the same direction. One has the Mandarin Oriental Hotel as its subject. Another was taken from Khazanah Nasional Berhad’s office.
