The Christmas season has kept me somewhat busy so, I have not been able to go out and update my Blog with new photos but with the holiday season now over, I should find myself able to take more shots soon.
This very early morning, I decided that I would get some photography done and went down to the Marina Bay area to get some shots of the Carlsberg Wishing Balls. All these balls in the water were written with the wishes of people and floated in the waters near the Esplanade...It was really nice with the morning sun just touching them so early in the morning.
It was low light and with a light breeze blowing, the balls kept moving so it was a challenge getting a clear shot but I still like them.
Here in the background, you can see the construction site of Singapore's upcoming "Intergrated Resort" or the Marina Sands Casino. I think the mess behind kinda adds to a conflict here, the busy activities behind with the calm and quiet of the water and balls.
In the background, you can see Singapore's famous "Merlion". An icon of Singapore that I for one really love and feel very proud of.
Just to get a feel of the area used for this promotion by Carlsberg. I am not very sure how many ball are in the water but it sure looked like a good number there.
This one ball caught my attention with the words "Family"...I think that is really sweet and agree that family is important and that well wishes should be made for family.

Very interesting! Happy New Year and thank you for your visits and kind comments.
Happy New Year to you and your family. The wishing balls are really interesting and sweet that they all have messages on them too. I hope the business of the holiday season has subsided for you to allow you to take more photos to share with us.
what a neat idea! Kind of like writing messages in a bottle. Happy happy new year! :)
Howard, Happy New Year to you!! I love these photos, especially the one where you stepped back and gave us a view of the beautiful sky too. What a lovely custom.
