Marina Bay Singapore: A Photographer’s Paradise

Many moons ago I was lucky to travel to Singapore. Unlike many visitors it wasn’t just a stopover between Europe to Down Under. It was a real vacation with time to discover more about this fascinating place, its history, culture and people.

But, of course, no visit to Singapore is complete without exploring Marina Bay. One evening I headed off to the lake with my tripod and camera – and patient friends.

The majestic, modern skyscrapers of the Finance District were mirrored beautifully in the tranquil waters, with the illuminated walkway across the bay providing a stunning visual separator and adding depth and dimension to this breathtaking nightscape.

Taking centre stage, of course, the historic Fullerton Hotel, lit up majestically in glittering gold.

It was a photographer’s paradise. My camera must have been glowing hot with all the shots I took that evening.

Sampan Navigating a River, Vietnam

Travelling through Vietnam you will often see sampans navigating the rivers and near-shore coastal waters. These relatively flat-bottomed boats are used for everyday transport and fishing.

On sheltered, inland waters their owners and family often live on them. Sampans may be propelled by poles – as here -, oars or be fitted with an outboard motor.

Singapore Financial District and Fullerton Hotel

Getting ready to countdown to the New Year 2012. An awesome view across the bay to the Singapore Financial District. The golden lit colonial style building is the Fullerton Hotel. The balls in Marina Bay are lit purple by lasers but are actually white and carried handwritten New Year’s wishes as part of the Countdown Celebrations.
