Milky stork at The National Zoo

Milky storks can be found in the same habitat as the white flamingo. As you walk around the zoo, you can easily get clear view of them as they spend most of their time resting rather than food searching.

In contrast to flamingos which mingle just around the lake area, storks like to rest on higher ground including trees and buildings. If you are lucky, you can get bird droppings on your head while photographing them.

Storks are social animal. They 'congregate' in large number even when doing nothing


 but there are lone-ranger who prefer to mind only his own business


like him


and like him (the bay-watcher)


beware of byproduct from their meeting

Petronas Twin Towers


The Visit
The Petronas Towers also known as the Petronas Twin Towers (Malay: Menara Petronas, or Menara Berkembar Petronas) are twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

According to the CTBUH's official definition and ranking, they were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 until surpassed by Taipei 101, but remain the tallest twin buildings ever built.

The building is the landmark of Kuala Lumpur with nearby Kuala Lumpur Tower. [Wikipedia]


Note: Pictures were taken during a visit to the the towers in December 2011.
