National Day Celebrations

Singapore just celebrated her 40th National Day on 9th Aug 2005. During this period, buildings in our city are always well-decorated with national flags. This was an image that I captured in 1996. One of the well-decorated buildings then was the Cockpit Hotel. This picture is of historical value because the Hotel has since been demolished. In its place, high-rise residential building is currently undergoing construction.
