The Lion City 2012

The Lion City 2012
I remember driving through the undeveloped Marina Bay area (off-road on the grass) years ago to get to a good spot to take a shot of the Singapore city skyline. That trip is no longer necessary ever since the Marina Bay Sands development came up over the last couple of years. Instead, all I needed was to take a nice stroll along the waterfront to get this picture. The morning sun provided just the right touch of warmth to a scene that should be familiar to all Singaporeans.

Front Row Seat At Durdle Door
Another view of Durdle Door on the Dorset coast, this time from a higher viewpoint. I like in particular, the two tiny figures at the bottom right which gave a good sense of scale to the whole scene.

If you have been a regular visitor to this photoblog, you would have noticed some significant changes of late: larger images, decreased clutter, simplified social network sharing and improved navigation head the main list of changes. Do explore the various sections of the site and let me know what you think!

Overlooking Hound Tor

Overlooking Hound Tor
A view of the Hound Tor in Dartmoor, Devon, UK… Supposedly heavily haunted and the inspiration for Conan Doyle’s book ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’, we drove through miles of cold and foggy (not to mention spooky!) moorland before we arrived at this place during our travels earlier this year. There were a few people hiking onto the tor. In our case, the cold got the better of us and we drove off shortly after getting this picture.
