Short visit to Putrajaya

Putrajaya is the administrative capital city of Malaysia. 
Recently, I got the chance to go to the city.
I was last here seven years ago when my son was a student at Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah in Presint 1.
Spent the night at Zennith Putrajaya. The image below was captured from the seventeenth story.

The Putra Mosque with a single 116 m minaret, and the Perdana Putra (Prime Minister's Office)  - that green dome.
