Colourful Windows of Hill St Building of Public Trustee

Walking around Raffles Place leading to Boat Quay and onward to Hill Street, there are so many beautiful buildings and nice, open scenery overlooking the Singapore River.

Cannot resist to capture these beautiful architectures, even more so, with the effort the government has put in, to restore them to their original splendour.... with some modern touch to it too.

One building that captured my eyes everytime I passed by is the Hill Street Building of Public Trustee. The large facade facing the road with the eye-catching candy coloured windows is a must for any photography buff.

Did not have my trusted Lumix FZ10 with me, but I got my Sony Ericsson S700i cellphone nonetheless. I snapped this photo while waiting to cross the road to the bus stop in front of it.

We were going to Brass Basah Complex for some arts & craft materials for my wife's kiosk decorations.

Was bad timing for us, as the shops were closing when we got there. Wasted trip, but saved when my eye catched the new ultra-modern National Library building.

All in white with green glass panes and yellow classy lightings made the building outstanding. The trees planted on the centre floor of the building makes it unique and environment friendly-looking, though in fact, it is designed to be environmentally friendly.

Yes, again I could not resist. Had to put my staff on the pavement and my wife stopped at the side of the road waiting, while I snapped a photo of this building with my cellphone.

National Museum overlooking Singapore River

Yesterday was a sunny day. Went around Raffles Place and ended up at Clarke Quay facing the Singapore River. Can never resist the water, be it the sea or the river. It is just so calming to the soul for me.

It was a quiet Saturday for normally a bustling area, maybe because the sun was boiling hot at 1:30pm and everyone made the wise choice of staying indoors in air-conditioned places, having lunch or shopping, except me, out and melting.

I left my wife tending to her kiosk at OUB Centre alone awhile, while I walked along the river front soaking the claming scenery. It was simply a wonderful feeling.

I do not mind the heat. I love sunny days with the breeze blowing, and the water made it so tranquil. Knowing me, it was the perfect opportunity to take pictures, but I did bring my trusted Lumix FX10 camera along.

My saviour to capture that perfect day was with my Sony Ericsson S700i cellphone. Though it will not take as stunning pictures as I would hope to get, the day was just great and should be captured.
