    Such a great place to visit. I have been there about 10 times now and every time I go, I still enjoy it. The atmosphere, culture and people are fantastic, not to mention the traditional food ...yummy. My wife wants to go there, so I dare say another trip there will be on the cards again in the near future. Oh and great photos, you really are showing what Singapore has to offer.

    The stillness in the water is amazing almost looks like a mirror. All your photos are visually stimulating but this calm shot just astounds me
    D7000, 18mm to 105mm Nikon lens & 18mm to 250mm Sigma lens.

    To know what you know and to know what you don't know...is to know.

    Wow 10 times already!
    You can probably show me a place or 2 in Singapore for some photography!
    I'm glad you have enjoyed visiting Singapore. It's fairly cheap now to fly to Singapore from the Gold Coast or Sydney via Scoot (a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines), so here's to more frequent travel!

    Do drop me a PM if you're planning your next trip here and you want a photography "kaki" (a Malay word which literally means "leg", but implies "companion")

    The average wind speed in Singapore is pretty pathetic, which is bad for power generation (practically zero potential for harvesting wind energy) but perhaps helpful for photography
    That, and the fact we have converted a number of rivers into reservoirs for fresh water supply, means we don't have the effects of tidal movements as well.

    14. Block of flats in Ghim Moh

    Believe it or not, these are public housing flats, sold at subsidized prices to citizens and permanent residents. Mind you, these subsidized flats are still quite expensive (at least S$500,000 for about 85-90 sq m) because property prices in land-scarce Singapore are simply astronomical.

    Really, that is expensive. The way you have taken the photo makes them look worth half a million too.

    Good on you for sharing these images. Since there's no need to provide a critique, I find myself happy to just sit back and enjoy them.

    They are indeed getting a bit more 'premium' nowadays, which has raised an issue of "Why are all taxpayers subsidizing these sort of 'premium' housing?"
    I guess it's the government's belief that home buyers have rising aspirations and are no longer content with basic designs and budget materials.



    ==========================================

    15. Premium (for real this time) waterfront condominium project barely 2km from the CBD.
    Folks who bought property here when it was first launched would have made huge profits (probably 250%) in the 10 years since.

    It was about as still a day as I could have hoped to find, but still enough movement in the water by small craft (kayaks, dragonboats, etc).
    Yeah, feeling quite envious of them (those residents)


    16. Clarke Quay at night, from the 4th storey carpark of the building across.
    Had to lean my camera a little precariously over the ledge for this, and stabilize my setup as much as possible.
    Luckily no guards came by to give me a hard time!

    18. Back to my favourite sunrise location, Marina Bay

    I find it quite surreal to be pretty much right in the city center, yet find such tranquility. Only during that brief period of course Before the rush hour begins!

    Thank you very much!

    23. Another shot around the Marina Bay area, this time of the ArtScience Museum, which is part of Marina Bay Sands.
    The structure was lit as part of "iLight 2014". The building's facade was used as a projector screen for a video.
