Confluence of Klang & Gombak River



This is the confluence point of 2 muddy river, i.e. Klang River on the right and Gombak River on the left. The dome belongs to Masjid Jamek. I was standing at the Lebuh Pasar bridge as I took this shot.

It is at this spot that Kuala Lumpur, the city of Malaysia, got its name in 1860s, where a band of prospectors in search of tin landed here, and named it Kuala Lumpur, or Muddy Estuary.

It's a lovely city image.

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
