Merdeka 118 - (Soon To Be) 2nd Tallest Skyscraper In The World

This skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) is called Merdeka 118. It is not completed yet, expected to be opened by end of this year or early next year. When opened, it would be the 2nd tallest skyscraper in the world at 678.9m, only behind the Burj Khalifa in Dubai well ahead at 828m.

This shot was taken from my hotel room directly facing the skyscraper. I had woken up early and dawn was just breaking. As the golden-yellow light of sunrise pushed through the dark rain clouds of the gloomy sky that morning, the glass claddings of the skyscraper caught and reflected some of the light and colours of the sunrise, making it quite the dramatic scene …

Wow, not the KL I remember from some decades ago. The skyscraper is dramatic, especially in this impeccable shot, but also daunting and, to me who hates heights, terrifying!! V
