In Kuala Lumpur’s City Gallery there’s a model of the city that is part of a video presentation on the city. They darken the hall, play a film, and there are lights to highlight certain buildings or roadways as mentioned in the video.

It’s nifty and it’s free. The City Gallery is adjacent the famous “I♥KL” sign, near Independence Square and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building (Offices of the Ministry of Information, Communications, and Culture.)

POEM: Three Tanka City

Stiff iron trusses
skeletonize a building
outlining order
wind whistles over I-beams
flexing,  moaning, and rising


Steel lugged upward
welded into false order
chaotic city
don’t pretend order reigns here
litter skitters on the wind


From: the Butterfly
To: the city residents
Sorry my flapping
caused the storm that destroyed your
lovely burgh. I didn’t know.

This was called Moscow Square at the time this was taken (late 1990's, I believe), but is now called Kálmán Széll Square.

Where in the World Photo Game #5

The answer to the previous question #4 (wine casks) was Tokyo, Japan (Meiji Shrine)

WitW#5 is a US-centric question. I took the photo below in the 1990’s.

Where was I?
