I captured this image just before a violent monsoon storm which flooded a large portion of the city centre. The grey skies behind give the Towers a dramatic, futuristic look.

Petronas twin towers in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. / I just love these twins! like many things in life, best viewed large .......
The towers in Black and White …
The Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This shot was taken on a recent work trip, I was fortunate enough to get a little time off to explore KL.
Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur. As seen providing wonderful rippling refelction across the infinity pool. Camera stabilised against a chair – 1/3 sec shutter speed.
The Menara tower is around 400 metres tall, and the view from the top is astonishing. Tthe elevator only seemed to a matter of seconds to reach the top, so don’t attempt this if you have dodgy ears or suffer from vertigo!
I must have walked 2 or 3km and got absolutely drenched chasing this photo … to find a space with no powerlines and clear sunset light. When I got closer I looked up and saw gasp a rainbow – being drenched just didn’t matter any more :-)

Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This shot of the Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, was taken in July 2008. It was a hot, sunny day and I wanted a frame that emphasised the effective combination of triangles, arcs and straight lines within a single facade. By composing this shot, I concentrated on the abstract aspect of the image. Yet, it is instantly recognisable as the facade of the side-by-side towers. Euclid himself would have been impressed with the great work of the architects. I do not crop or post-edit my work in any way. I shot this with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F9.5, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, focal length 50mm. Featured in SHAPES AND PATTERNS, May 2009. Fetaured in FULL FRONTAL FACADES, May 2009. Featured in ART OF GLASS, May 2009.

I was walking away from the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur in July last year when I decided to take one last shot of the glass-and-steel structure. I spotted the fronds of a nearby palm tree and thought it would be a great idea to try and work them into the image. I literally took this shot over my left shoulder, craning my neck backwards like a circus contortionist. Apart from the fact that I was able to include the huge Malaysian flag that hangs on the facade of one of the towers, I really like the fact that the apex of this image includes differing geometrical shapes – straight lines, some triangles, a series of arcs, and a graceful wave-like pattern at the top of the tower. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F9.5, 1/180 sec, ISO 200, focal length 18mm. Malaysia2009-7179
I took this picture from lake garden at night in my visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Nikon D300, f/13, ISO 250 / Please enlarge to view better / Twin Towers: From Wikipedia The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004, as measured to the top of their structural components (spires, but not antennas). Spires are considered integral parts of the architectural design of buildings, to which changes would substantially change the appearance and design of the building, whereas antennas may be added or removed without such consequences. The Petronas Twin Towers remain the tallest twin buildings in the world. The Willis Tower and the World Trade Center towers were each constructed with 110 occupied floors – 22 more than the Petronas Twin Towers’ 88 floors. The Willis Tower and the World Trade Center’s roofs and highest occupied floors substantially exceeded the height of the roof and highest floors of the Petronas Twin Towers. The Willis Tower’s tallest antenna is 75 m (246 ft) taller than the Petronas Twin Towers’ spires. However, in accordance to CTBUH regulations and guidelines, the antennas of the Willis Tower were not counted as part of its architectural features. The spires on the Petronas Towers are included in the height since they are not antenna masts. Therefore, the Petronas Twin Towers exceed the official height of the Willis Tower by 10 m, but the Willis Tower has more floors and much higher square. The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia’s Muslim religion. Another Islamic influence on the design is that the cross section of the towers is based on a Rub el Hizb (albeit with circular sectors added to meet office space requirements). Due to a lack of steel and the huge cost of importing steel, the towers were constructed on a cheaper radical design of super high-strength reinforced concrete. High-strength concrete is a material familiar to Asian contractors and twice as effective as steel in sway reduction; however, it makes the building twice as heavy on its foundation than a comparable steel building. Supported by 23-by-23 meter concrete cores and an outer ring of widely spaced super columns, the towers use a sophisticated structural system that accommodates its slender profile and provides 560,000 square meters of column-free office space. Below the twin towers is Suria KLCC, a shopping mall, and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, the home of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. Height : Antenna/Spire 451.9 m (1,482.6 ft)[1] / Roof: 378.6 m (1,242.1 ft) / Top floor: 375.0 m (1,230.3 ft) Technical details / Floor count 88 / Floor area 395,000 m2 (4,252,000 sq ft) (1 & 2) / Elevator count 78 (1 & 2)
