Singapore Nights

Singapore really comes alive at night. It seems to take on a whole new feel and the cityscape vibrates energy especially from the way that the buildings are lit up.

One of the most spectacular of all the mega constructions in Singapore is the Marina Bay Sands. It consists if three 55 storey towers each joined at the summit by a long curving structure in the shape of a boat. This ‘boat’ contains a swimming pool, buildings and gardens. The palm trees growing all along the sides can clearly be seen from the marina below.

By day …. By night …

Here’s the man himself … Sir Stamford Thomas Raffles. This statue of him is on the exact spot where he first set foot on the island of Singapore on January 28th 1819. Nothing can really epitomise more the progress and wealth of the city than the backdrop behind him. Something neither he nor his contemporaries could imagine would happen in only 200 years.
