Uniquely Singapore - Part 2

Marina Barrage is a brand new attraction in this island country. A reservoir along the coast. Caught this artist's imagination at the Barrage -














Added a bit of my imagination(if you observe closely you may find me in it). The over-populated world -











This fellow was having jolly time at Labrador Park -









And this beauty took some chasing -

Uniquely Singapore - Part 1

Captured this beauty at the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. It was as curious about the wierd creature behind the lens as I was with it.














Petain Court in Little India is a splendid glance in to the past.












Diwali fever at Little India.

Happy Birthday Singapore!

43rd Birthday of Singapore on 9th August 2008 and it was a blast. The F16s have a way of expressing their love indeed -














And more patterns -











And the flag -









And the sky breaks loose. The following is a picture of burst over a period of 3 Minutes in one snap.










And the after effects - the skyline in smokes!

Singapore Garden Festival

Singapore Garden Festival and I went berserk!

One Fine Day

A blue Shirt on the horizon! I simply could not resist getting in to an awkward angle to click this.




















And someone had stubbed a Cigarette in to a flower!

Random Walk at the Botanic Gardens

Saturday 5th July, 5:30 AM and my mobile phone breaks in to a song. Perhaps it was in a pretty jovial mood. Mobile phones do have their right to moods, I thought. Aah, logic and reasoning finally made way, I had made an elaborate plan last night for a trip to the Botanic Gardens(with my parents ofcourse)!

Bees and flowers have always been my pet subject. I can stay still for ages, waiting for the bee to find its abode.













A mirror indeed has two faces...










A curious quail indeed...











If man made camera,nature made the best light conditions. Check this pic(some undercompensation from me and nature did the rest!)











And I could not resist. There is a fine line between what ethics says about capturing people unawares and what falls within the realms of street photography...I only intended the latter..

Feathers of Paradise

Macaws,Parrots and Parakeets - Colours of splendour that leave you speechless.

Meet Almond - you will find him at the Singapore zoo. He is suffering from cataract and has lost one talon. But he shall strive to live - not for himself but for Mango behind him.












Colours of splendour from the Jurong Bird park which hosts 110 species of Parrots (of the 358 found on Planet Earth!!)













And making love is what they know best -
