Boat Quay

This morning I was hoping to get some daytime landscape photos of the Central Business District (CBD) but it turned out to be one of those days where is was too bright and with a touch of haze.

So not to make it a wasted trip, street shots of the Boat Quay area. For those who are not familar, Singapore's Boat Quay area is right at the heart of our banking and business district and comes alive after 6pm. It's full of restruants, pubs and places to unwind and relax.


Being right next to our Singapore river, its really a very nice place to sit, relax and watch the bumboats go by.




But being a Sunday morning, the offices are closed and the place quiet. The white collar office workers are off work but for the blue collar labourers it's just another day at the "office".

Elizabeth - Thanks :)

The first one took a litle effort and some laying on a dirty road to capture. For the second one it was alot easier, he was just sleeping infront of me when I took a rest on a bench. Last one was taken with with a telephoto lens but they still spotted me :P
