Who Is Leading?

Who Is Leading 2007
Receiving a copy of June issue of Hong Kong e-newsletter, reminds me of the Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Regatta 2008. It is a season for Dragon Boat Festival again.
In Singapore, we don’t have to wait for this season to shoot dragon boat event.
Having the regatta at Boat Quay, Singapore River annually, we do have an opportunity for capturing such a sport activity.
Share with you one of my images that I captured in last November. Apparently, I managed to overcome the shutter lag of a consumer camera.

Cleaning The River

Cleaning The River
It took ten years to clean up the Singapore River. The task was completed in September 1987.
Apparently, the up keep of the river depends very much on the cleaning crew. As seen here at the mouth of the Singapore River, they are performing their duty first thing in the morning.

Garbage Collected

Garbage Collected 2007
This year’s World Environment Day falls on June 5, 2008. This is an image that I captured during my visit to Salford Quays last July. I was surprised to come across the amount of garbage gathered here. Obviously, majority of people are not aware that to dump refuse into the water area would cause such of a serious environmental problem.
As seen in the picture, the Football Club United of Manchester is just within a stone’s throw of this location.
