something about the contrast and similar colours of this one appealed to me

Old and new city of Singapore at the river front

taking time out at the Singapore river bank

the Singapore river and eastern skyline

orchids, orchids - everywhere in Singapore
and they seem to grow with abundant ease

not surprising then that this is Singapores National Flower

The riverboat cruises are a constant hum on the river.

Here, part of the 'old' city is dwarfed by the skyscrapers of modern Singapore.

Down at the river front in the early morning.

The hum of activity from the previous night's eating out in stark contrast to the morning shot...

Singapore skyline

an interesting array of old and new architectural features vie for their space of recognition

tea anyone?

I can't remember where this was at the waterfront, but the scene of empty chairs appealed to me - leaving one to wonder what conversations have taken place here over the decades

The three Buddah's?

I'm not sure, but they were large and worthy of a few photo's at various angles

These are at the IndoChine restaurant entrance at 1 Empress Place, Asian Civilisations Museum - down at the waterfront

A bit of old and new caught my eye in the reflection as I walked passed

Singapore at night - Cam Theme - 45

Pete'sCam still travels further afield than Wellington, New Zealand for a while.

Enjoy these pics from Singapore - all taken at dusk or at night time.

The photo below is of the Civilian War Memorial with the high rise buildings of Singapore's financial district flanking the river.

Riverside Point at Clarke Quay on the Singapore river.

This is where many of the riverboat cruises begin...

Clarke Quay used to be the cenral hub of Singaporean trade. Today it has been converted to an array of eating houses, restaurants, shops, bars, cafés - et al.

Said by many to be one of Singapores "hottest night time spots".

The head of a lion, body of a fish, resting on a wave crest - Merlion sculpture.

Way back in 1964, this became the emblem for the Singapore Tourism Board.

And here are some more facts for you:

• It is 8.6m high
• made of cement fondue
• weighs 70 tonnes

eating out in Singapore is an event all by itself.

Just walking around, there is an abundance of places to choose from - especially here at the riverside.

Given the current economic climate I was convinced that many of the food operators have specially trained people to "hard sell" the wandering tourists to eat at their establishments...
A friendly smile and a firm "No thank you" seemed to suffice -

Night time reflections on water in Singapore...

A vertical image of reflection on the Singapore River

This one appeals beacause of the light from the lanterns reflected off the boat, and the lights of the Cavenagh Bridge and Singapore Art Centre all combine...

Another view at night time - from Riverside Point

Apartments, malls, shopping, digning...

- and the ever present changing colours of light reflecting off the water

From yet another river boat cruise, this is The Fullerton Hotel overlooking the Singapore River, it used to be the General Post Office building and has since been transformed into a 5-star hotel.
