Sunset at Tasek

Yes, this is a photo of sunset again. I just can’t stop myself to capture this scene while I was on my way to dinner. It has been several times I observe beautiful sunset at this location, nearby Tasek Square food court. It is due to the sufficient open space at the housing construction site to capture the free-of-barrier scene. More importantly, I choose to dinner at Tasek Square quite often… :-)
