Random Photos

Although I have travelled a lot in the last 10 years or so, I have never bothered to buy a good camera. Becuase I was spending so much of my time on boats and I was afraid that I would ruin a nice camera by getting it wet, I used cheap disposable cameras for years. Because most of my scuba trips usually involved divers that were great photographers, I have been able to get by without my own camera for far too long. I bought a new camera before I came here, but it should be obvious that I don't really know what I am doing. I just point and shoot and figure I should post it because you probably have never seen anything like it before. Here are a couple of pictures that I took last weekend.

The King's New Palace

The King of Malaysia currently lives in the Istana Negara (the National Palace) located in the KL area. They are building a new palace located in the Damansara Heights region of KL. You can build a palace fit for a King in Malaysia for only 800 million ringgit (thats $250 million).

Here's how the palace looks right now. You can notice the KL skyline in the distance. I bet the King and his family are going to have some great views!

Interesting View of Petronas Tower and KL Tower

The two iconic buildings in the downtown KL skyline are the Petronas Towers and the KL Tower. One of these days I promise to try to take some good photos of both of these buildings.

This weekend I was having a coke light in the McDonalds in Bangsar when I noticed that I had a unique view of downtown KL. Look at how the KL Tower is directly in front of the Petronas Towers!
