Menara Telekom (or Menara TM) is the headquarters of Telekom Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.

It is 310m (1,017ft), has 55 floors, and shaped to represent a sprouting “bamboo shoot”. It is located along the Federal Highway, Sprint Expressway and Jalan Pantai Baru and is served by the Rapid KL Kerinchi LRT station. It was designed by Hijjas Kasturi Associates and was constructed between 1998 and 2001 by PECD Berhad.

The complex also includes a theatre able to seat a 2,500 audience, a large prayer hall (surau) and a sports facility. A unique feature of the tower is its 22 open skygardens alternating every three floors. The office floors are separated into north and south wings served by express double-deck elevators.

The colourful pattern on the parachute valve of a hot air balloon became distorted resulting from hot air pumped in by the burner which diffracted the light.

Shadows of spectators were cast on the outer surface of a hot air balloon envelope while I shot them from inside. It was for me a delightful scene. This photo was published in Advanced Images Photography & Digital Imaging Magazine on its Get Inspired page.
