Last Moment Before Night Fall

I was about to leave after having dinner at Kinta River Front. The skyline view from the open air car park looked nice. This is the moment where the last sunlight seen before getting dark. Captured in the frame is the Islamic Bank Building & new classroom block of St. Michael School.
