Confluence. Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Iconic in Kuala Lumpur is this view of the confluence of the Klang and Gombak Rivers. At the junction is the famous Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque built in 1909. Its architect was British Arthur Benison Hubback (1871-1948), who was much taken by Indo-Saracenic aesthetics, albeit in his own interpretations.

This entire area was until a few years ago quite a mess but it has now been very nicely revamped with the name River of Life.
