Architecture
A slightly different (almost two-dimensional) view of the Helix Bridge along the Marina Bay Sands area in Singapore taken during my morning walk last Sunday… Backlit and silhouetted against the rising morning sunlight, I caught sight of various joggers running along the bridge. I set up my tripod and waited for the right moment to freeze the action of one of these joggers.
For the Star Wars fans amongst you (and in myself), no apologies for the title as the figures not only reminded me of literal sky-walkers but also the giant trees on Endor from Return of the Jedi 😛 This picture was taken from our first foray into Gardens by the Bay, Singapore’s newest attraction. The eleven iconic “Supertrees” dominated most of the pictures I took in my short three-hour visit to the Gardens. Repeat visits are definitely on the cards…
After enjoying a year of photography away from Singapore, I have finally come back to taking pictures of the urban landscape in Singapore. The above was taken during a Sunday walk along the Marina Bay Sands waterfront. Although I have previously taken pictures of the architecture of the ArtScience Museum, what I like about this shot is the presence of the “cherry picker”. I thought this, together with the man in it, provided a point of human contrast as well as a reference to the scale of the architecture.
