Building Trees
(1/200, F6.3, ISO200, 44mm)
In the early 90´s the Malaysian government decided to build a new administrative centre 25km south of the overcrowded center of Kuala Lumpur. This became the newly planned city called Putrajaya.
By now almost all ministries have moved their activities to this area and apart from all the huge government buildings it also includes the office and palace of the Prime Minister, mosques, several monuments and some beautiful landscaping.
This is the lobby of one of those buildings and its reflection of the trees that line the streets.
El Bueno, El Feo y El Malo 
Stunning. I love this.
Hi Alex,
Thanks very much, it is a bit disorientating and busy, but that was the idea 😉
Greetings, Ron.
Amazing!! Excellen, Ron!!
Have a wonderful day, my friend.
Thank you so much, Malin, great ot hear you enjoyed it, all the best to you to,
Ron
Mooie combinatie met de bomen.
Dank je wel, Wilma, ben vaak op zoek naar die contradictie tussen mens en natuur 🙂
Fijne week, groet, Ron.
Can’t quite make it out but that’s what I love about it!
Hi Denise, thanks for trying to figure it out 😉
Have a great week, Ron
Great with the reflections.
Thanks, i always love nature versus human structures and these trees fitted perfect in my idea here!
Have a good day, Cardinal
Looks like the future has arrived ! Nice shot!
Dank je wel, Katrina! Definitely a futuristic area, but sometimes you turn a corner and you go back in time a 100 years 😉
Have a great day, groet, Ron.
You are so right Ron !!!!
The reflection make for a crazy-looking image, as Richard above said, very sci-fi.
Thanks, Stevie, i like my sf when it comes to architecture photography 😉
Have a good weekend, Ron.
Nice processing!
THanks Paula, i always like the futuristic metallic monochrome feel in most of my architecture photos!
Cheers, Ron
you are discovering putrajaya, great!
how do you find it?
Hello Ken and Agnes (??), very interesting architecture for sure, never seen such a young ´city´ before, well planned.
Have a great weekend, Ron.
‘young city’ but showing early signs of aging. have a great weekend, ron.
ken
Quite a tricky one to work out!
Haha, thanks for trying to figure it out, Noeline 😉
I love puzzles, maybe thats it!
Have a great weekend, Ron.
very interesting shot … I spent a while exploring this before reading your text I was thinking the stairs were a monorail heading up into trees.
Thank you very much, Mitch, taking the time to explore it; personally my idea was the stairs going up into some forest as lots of my stuff seems to be about the contradiction between human structures and nature 😉
Have a good weekend, greetings, Ron.
That is an image I can look at for a while! Love the blue color. Greetings!
Thanks amigo, i thought the blueish added to the futuristic feel, which I like in most of my architecture photos 😉
Have a buenos finde…
At first I thought that this was a montage of layers but reflections? Very interesting.
Hello Jane, it looks like layers for sure, no, dont ever do stuff like that, there´s already so many layers out theere 😉
Thanks and greetings, Ron
What a beautiful building this is!
Thank you, Lisa, actually it was pretty square and bland on the outside, but the entracne hall was very futuristic i thought, and as always the contrast between nature and human caught my attentions.
Have a great weekend, Ron.
Fascinating to see the structures you’re finding all over the globe. Thank you for the voyage amongst architects with varied frames of reference, cultural difference. It’s always intrigued me that human beings are the one planet Earth occupant inventing an unbelievably broad range of housing. A squirrel, a bird, beavers, all build from the same inner plan no matter where they are there is constancy. Maybe it’s because we have hands, or that neither variety nor change is disturbing to humans, but rather stimulating, thrilling.
Hi Barbara, thanks for taking such an interest in my architectural shots as well; imagination sets us apart from the other ´builders´ as well, I think, some of the buildings I come across are so creative it definitely sets us apart from most other inhabitants. Although what I saw PAradise birds do on some BBC-documentaries was pretty amazing as well 😉
have a great weekend, greetz, Ron.
Lovely shot – like something from an SF movie.
Hello Richard, i always look for this SF feel and thats also the reason i opt for this blueish metallic look to emphasize that!
Thanks and greetings from KL, Ron.
This is amazing, almost surreal 🙂
Thank you so much, Takami, i love surreal and futuristic when it comes to architecture photos 😉
Have a great week, Ron.
Wow. I love the angle of the shots
Thanks very much, Rajiv, I love futuristic buildings and reflections, so this went well together for me!
Greetz, Ron.
It’s easy to see that Kuala Lumpur has some of the most innovative (and photogenic) architecture on the planet.
Thats very kind of you to say, Ken, definitely filled with modern skyscrapers, not all this pretty though 😉
Have a great day, Ron.
