 For Christmas 2000, Catherine's brother, Chatwin, and her sister-in-law, Samme, came out to visit Malaysia. We spent a few days in Singapore and a lot of time around KL downtown.  Chatwin suggested a photo shoot with Brett in front of the Twin Towers. Directly behind the fountain, where the Twin Towers are connected on the ground, is the Dewan Philharmonic Petronas, the orchestra's concert hall. 

Brett really wanted nighttime pictures. Lighting was a challenge - there was a white umbrella and a sheet involved.

Can you find all 3 cicaks (lizard-like creatures)? These ones had a dinner of bugs attracted to the light while we had Chinese food.
