    Thanks! Glad you like them.

    There are lots of interesting places to photograph in Singapore. Especially since it is such a well-lit city, night cityscapes are also quite interesting.
    Well I hope you enjoyed your visit nonetheless

    hahaha then it's working!
    Please do visit!

    We lost our first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew on Monday 24th Feb.
    This being the official week of mourning of his passing, there was ample opportunity to reflect on how far Singapore has progressed in the 50 years since Independence, under his stewardship.

    A pretty remarkable transformation, if I may say so myself.

    One from our Marina Barrage, the man-made 'dam' built across the Singapore River to turn it into a reservoir.
    Has a nice view of our city's skyline.


    To think the spot where this was taken from used to be the sea not that many years ago (when I was a wee young lad )

    Thank goodness the situation has largely cleared up!
    It was terrible for about 2 months or so. The Pollutant Standards Index (was in the 'unhealthy' range) for most part of the 2 months.

    The winds have shifted direction, and are now blowing south-east from the South China Sea.
    There is also more rain in Indonesia, so hopefully the forest fires would have been put out naturally by now.

    Well, we don't have much natural scenery here, so gotta make the best of the man-made stuff!

    I haven't been to Singapore in about 9 years, but seeing these photos makes me feel like I was there yesterday... Great photos, and really nice perspective on them :-)

    Haha thanks Am.
    Was recalling a scene from Star Wars Ep 2: Attack of the Clones, where the clones were loading up into the transport ship. Somehow this subway entrance reminds me of it!

    Haha thanks! The city would have looked rather different 9 years ago
    Now when I look back on photos from just 3 or 4 years ago, I sometimes go "where did that building come out from?"

    But surely there's an occasional bird somewhere?
    Now that it's past time to say it, I'll say all the best for, and hope you have a good 2016.

    Actually now that you mentioned it, we do have an area set aside as a natural mangrove where quite a few migratory birds stop over.
    In the rest of Singapore, I seem to notice only a few types of birds:
    - mynah
    - pigeon
    - sparrow
    - crow

    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO!
