Singapore Old & New, a photo from Clementi, West

Photographer's Note

Singapore city is a tale of two cities, the old and the new. To the left are enormous glass towers centre of the banking and finance scene and on the far side of the river can be seen the traditional shop-houses, in excellent repair which have been there for many years. A fascinating city which has been transformed from pretty much a tiger infested swampland to one of the most modern and vibrant cities in the world. Lee Kuan Yew, is the man behind this incredible development. How many other countries would benefit from having a man with his tenacity and skills?

HI Murray,

The new section of the city is framing well the old section of the city. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the architecture of the highrise buildings and some of the shop-houses. The light haze has a special effect on the colors. Have a nice day.
