Malaysia - Blue hour over The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur

The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers or Twin Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia were the world's tallest buildings, before being surpassed by the Taipei 101. However, the towers are still the tallest twin buildings and office building in the world. Tower 1 was built by Hazama Corporation and Tower 2 by Samsung Engineering & Construction and Kukdong Engineering & Construction (both of South Korea). They were the world's tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004 if measured from the level of the main entrance to the structural top.

This is rather classic view of Petronas Twin Towers for all right reasons... it is even more stunning when seen in person.

    Magnifica imagen de estas torres tan sumamente representativas y convertidas en un icono de la nueva construcción. Colores, luz, detalles, perspectiva.... todo está perfecto. Mis felicitaciones. Un saludo.

    love the colour here - esp the reds and blues

  43. preview_rob (40 months ago | reply)

    wonderful shot, and really interesting to learn the towers were built by two separate companies.

  44. kevin mcneal (40 months ago | reply)

    Lucie, great exposure and the pink tones of the sky really enhance the warm light reflected off the buildings
