RE: Electrified Gold Adds Subtle Highlights at Evening … Singapore River – GoldenHour Photography
This picture is simply awesome and must have been difficult to capture.
You are still lucky,as had you been in Boats Quay during the 1970's or early 1980's you would not have been able to take this picture because many bumboats would fight for space riverside. There would have hardly been any space to walk when Boats Quay was at its prime as a trading center in the Singapore river.
Since the 1990's there has been adaptive reuse of these historic buildings into restaurants, pubs and cafes.
This picture not only depicts the calm and serene nature of Boats Quay right now, but also shows how times change so drastically by the adoption of innovation and technology.
Thank you for the share :)
Interesting point. Actually, the first time I passed thru Singapore (in 2002), Boat Quay was packed with sailboats.
By the time I moved to Singapore in 2012, all those sailboats had been moved to a marina on the souther shore. Just another way in which Singapore keeps it's cityscape beautiful and resident-friendly.
