Making A Wish
From our walk along the Marina Bay Sands waterfront a couple of weeks ago… I am not sure whether the designer of the Rain Oculus knew that people would instinctively turn it into a giant wishing well!

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.
This picture was taken near the Valley of Rocks on the north Devon coast. The title in Chinese means literally “Thinking of eating trodden grass” which is a play on the Chinese idiom “好马不吃回头草”. The idiom literally means “A good horse does not look back to eat grass” which can be translated to mean that a smart person does not dwell on past actions.
