[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I realized when taking a nighshot the best is just after dusk when you still see the blue color of the sky, however, as I was tied up with my schedule, I only able to visited the twin towers at night.

But the magnificent architecture will certainly attract many people to press their camera shutter, including me.

The Petronas Twin Towers were designed by Cesar Pelli and was completed in 1998. They are 452 metres tall (1,483f) with 88 stories.

The twin towers were connected each other by a sky bridge, which featured extensively in "Entrapment", a movie starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones.

Combined the towers have 1,000,000m2 of floor space and at the 41st and 42nd level a skybridge connects the two towers 170m/558f above the ground.
This bridge is 58.4m/192f long, weighs 750 tons and is open for the public since the end of 2000.

The ticket to get up on to sky bridge is free but closed on Monday and only limited to about 800 tickets given a day. The sky bridge is only open during day light so if you want to get a night cityscape of KL it's better taken from Menara KL

Warm regards,

Hi Ari

Amazing symmetry and an outstanding shot! The colors and so well composed and the shot is surely balanced in every sense.
