Petronas Towers, twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that are the world's tallest twin towers. Standing 1,483 ft (452 m) high, they were designed by the Argentinian-American architect Cesar Pelli. Completed in 1997, they surpassed Chicago's Sears Tower as the record-holding tallest structure; they themselves were surpassed by Taipei 101 in 2003. The twin towers house Petronas, Malaysia's government-owned oil company, as well as associated Malaysian firms and multinational companies. Part of a large burst of construction that marked the country's 1990s economic boom, the buildings stand at the northern end of a projected high-tech business zone, the Malaysia Multimedia Supercorridor. Built of steel-reinforced concrete columns clad in stainless steel and glass, with a design based on geometric patterns originating in ancient Islam, the 88-story buildings are connected at levels 41 and 42 by a double-decker pedestrian skybridge, and each tower is surmounted by a 242-ft-high (74-m) pinnacle. At the lower level, the Petronas Towers also include a concert hall that is home to the Malaysian Philharmonic and a business reference library.

Hi Philippe,
Nice POV and colours. Beautiful light and colours.
Regards.

Very nice architectural view. It was a nice day for a photo like this, with white clouds bringing diversity in the blue sky. I also like the angle from which you took this shot. Thanks for the very detailed note as well.

All the best,
Gerd

oooooo The Petrons Towers. Famous movie and base jump site. Good POV one can really feel how big they are. Too bad that the day was not sunny they are even better then :)

Bonjour Philippe,
La vue est en contre-plongé est très impressionant et efficace. On se rend bien compe dans la hauteur de ces deux tours.
Bien composé.
Alex

Ca me fascine ces prises de vue avec des optiques grand angle. Je sais pourtant qu'on en arrive à de tels résultats avec des telles optiques mais je suis toujours très impressionné par le résultat. Les immeubles en deviennent presque des monstres grandiloquents, des géants de verre et de fer que rien n'effraie (l'histoire a cependant prouvé le contraire).
