Nice Big Bank

January 28, 2008

I remember an old TV commercial for the United Overseas Bank some time back in which a customer pays for his purchase with his UOB credit card. The storekeeper remarked on seeing the image of the bank on the card: “Oh UOB! Nice Big Bank isn’t it?”

This is a picture of that Nice Big Bank — UOB Plaza houses the headquarters of the Bank as well as major financial corporations such as UBS. What is little known and interesting though is that it also houses a Malay mosque in its basement. More about the UOB Plaza in the Wikipedia…

Shrouded In The Golden Mist

Shrouded In The Golden Mist
A closer look at the dramatic weather in my earlier post, On The Milford Road To Te Anau. I like the details which the my 40D has managed to retain despite the tricky, high-contrast lighting conditions.

Moeraki Waves

Moeraki Waves
When planning my New Zealand holiday trip, one of the items I marked down as a “must-see” on our itinerary were the Moeraki Boulders. Unfortunately, the Boulders were not as spectacular as I hoped when we arrived, perhaps due to a combination of tide times, weather as well as lighting. Nevertheless, we did capture a number of nice pictures. Dad has posted his here. For this particular shot of mine, I concentrated not on the Boulders but on the lines and patterns formed by the receding waves as the sun began to set gradually.
