After The Morning Rain

After The Morning Rain
Apologies for the lack of updates — I have had a busy month at work for the first three weeks of November before I made my way to Birmingham, UK, in the last week for a work-related training course. The trip to Birmingham was a short one but I managed to squeeze in some photography when I arrived (before starting my course) and just before I left (after my course). Despite the recent extreme wet weather, I was lucky to encounter some blue skies and sunshine on the days I brought my camera out. This picture was taken at the well-known Bullring area in Birmingham after a rain shower. The last time I was here was two years ago, when I took this picture.

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.
