DAILY PHOTO: Kompleks Dayabumi
Taken in December 2013 in Kuala Lumpur.
This tower, built in a Modernist Islamic style, is one of the most famous landmarks of Kuala Lumpur. It’s also one of the earliest high-rise towers in the city (circa 1984, to give on an idea how rapid KL’s growth has been.) Below, one can see some graffiti along the river walk.

DAILY PHOTO: KL in Miniature
Taken in December 2013 in Kuala Lumpur
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.

DAILY PHOTO: Kálmán Széll Square in Budapest
This was called Moscow Square at the time this was taken (late 1990’s, I believe), but is now called Kálmán Széll Square.
