Scenic Sunday 58 - Millennium Monument Putrajaya

To see other Scenic Sunday posts, click here.

This is the National Millennium Monument located in Pricinct 2, Putrajaya. It is shaped like an obelisk with etchings depicting important milestones in the nation's history. The monument is constructed from solid metal and metal structures. During a sunny day, it glimmers like 'gold'.

For sight seeing of Putrajaya's landmarks, cruise tours along Putrajaya Lake are available from Cruise Tasik Putrajaya.

My first impression was that it looked like a rocket ready to be launched. Does it also reminds you of the Washington Monument in Washington DC?
