From a Time Gone By, a photo from Kuala Lumpur, Ouest

Photographer's Note

This is an Embassy close to the Petronas Twin Towers. What appealled about this building is it is from a different era to the high rise modern building all around. This land must be very valuable, especially as 80% of the area is grass and garden. It makes you wonder when the power of economics will see it replaced with another gleaming glass tower.Lets hope it lasts for a few more decades to remind those passing of another era.
This pic was taken from the footpath of a very busy road (Jalan) and taken through the bars which formed the front fence.

Hi Murray

Good graphism of the dark palms against the lighter sky & the white turret cupoloa against the grey sky. Well composed with a good tonal range. Congratulations!

Great picture, and excellent note. It's a shame that the building in the back left squeezed into the frame, but it seems that there was no alternative way to compose this picture. Otherwise, the composition is great. Particularly within the context of the note, this picture speaks volumes about the area.

Nice work!

HI Murray, and Happy New Year !
I remember this beautiful building surrounded by an even better park with eclatant green grass, it's good you have posted it, thanks to your superb white we can see how brilliant and luminous this architecture is. Minor final steps here could be to clone the electric wire coming from the left and the sat antenna on the right part of the roof.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Bonjour Murray
I've always appreciate pictures taken on grey skies; no harsh shadows, so that minute details can be seen.
Thanks for showing this beautiful architecture and for the note.
