Shah Alam - Mesmerizing view

I used my nephew's camera Nikon DX Digital SLR 50mm Camera   to take photos of the night view of Shah Alam. It took me a while before I got the hang of it.Too many menus, sub menus and settings for me to figure it out and choose and I did not have manual with me to refer to.I am used to my old Yashica SLR  50mm manual camera. That was the good old days of film.  All I need to do is just set the shutter speeds and aperture and I am ready to go. I have to say that I am from the old school. Sometimes technologies just drive you nuts and complexity of  digital camera is one of them .

The night view of Shah Alam is  amazing from the apartment. The view of the Masjid in the night  setting is so mesmerizing. What is more amazing and interesting, you can  see  The Petronas Twin Towers and the Menara KL in the background. The Petronas Twin Towers were  the tallest building in the world for six years from 1998 to 2004, until Taipei 101 was  completed  in 2004 and   surpassed their height. Now the tallest building in the world is Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates after gaining the title this year  in April  2010. It  measures 828m in height.

Shah Alam - Breathtaking view

I have busy lately and struggling to find time to write a new entry for my post. Time flies so fast nowadays. 15 years ago I was backpacking  in Paris feels just  like yesterday. A week feels just like a day and  a year feels like a month. Life is like a blink of an eye. I went to my relative  apartment in section 7, Shah Alam few months ago   and took some pictures. The 10-story  apartment building is  overlooking beautiful view of Shah alam. I have to say, the view from the apartment  is probably one of the best views  in the world, especially during the  night time.It is so breathtaking and mesmerizing.

You can see the  view of the  city centre  of Shah Alam, beautiful and big  bangalows of the residential area in Section 7 and definitely the Masjid Sultan Sallahudin Abdul Aziz  which dominates the skyline. If you are in the city centre  of Shah alam, or nearby the Lake of  Shah Alam or  at  the residential housing area such as  Section 2, 3,4 and 9, either walking or driving around in car, you will catch the glimpses of the Masjid.
