Kuala Lumpur is a picturesque city surrounded by hills, especially when when viewed from higher grounds. It is in a valley after all. You have seen my previous pics of KL’s skyline from the hills of Cheras and Ampang. This time; a view from the opposite side. This was photographed near the forbidden Sivan Temple on top of Bukit Gasing, Petaling Jaya.
The traditional Chinese medicine shop is slowly fading from the city landscape. Still found in smaller towns, the shops typically feature a bamboo sun blind sponsored by Pil Chi Kit Teck Aun. The pills are the favourite Malaysian remedy for diarrhea. It works almost every time though you must be careful not to overdose. You might end up not going to the loo for weeks as a result 🙂
Hazy days and Mondays always get me down (not). Recent Olympus cameras have a built-in Art Filter known as Dramatic Tone. Although the effect is indeed dramatic for certain subjects, I don’t use it much. The reason is that I cannot control any of its parameters and the result is totally unpredictable. Still, that could be its very attraction for many users and it does cast a magical spell on days like these. This is a dramatic, hazy view of Kuala Lumpur from a hilltop.
