In Conversation In Birmingham
The iconic exterior of the Selfridges store at the Bull Ring provided the perfect backdrop to this candid moment I captured on my recent visit to Birmingham. I was thankful for the sunshine that I encountered — not only did it provide lighting for the shot, but it kept me warm in the cold weather then!

Update 27 January 2013 – Thank you for making this picture Noteworthy on photofriday‘s challenge on the theme “Pattern“! 🙂

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.
