Singapore's Nighttime Skyline

On my first night in Singapore after my Indonesia adventures running away from thieving monkeys in the jungle, the missus and I walked from our hotel to the marina bay area where .. you guessed it.. the marina bay sands hotel is.. well this is not a picture of that (i'll share that later). This is a shot of the financial district.

If you walk across the bridge on the right there it takes you right over to the Merlion. Unfortunately the Merlion was covered in scaffolding as they were renovating it .. It was rather disappointing but not as disappointing as discovering the raffles hotel was closed for renovations. All the Missus wanted was a Singapore sling at the Raffles. We settled for a Singapore Sling in a restaurant somewhat reminiscent of TGI Fridays instead... not quite the same.

This shot was taken with a canon 5d mkii hooked onto a gorillapod tripod that was wrapped around a railing. I must have looked really weird because I was standing behind the camera with my hands hovering around the sides of the camera like a parent does with a toddler just learning to walk.. I was terrified it would slip off the railing and into the water. Those Gorrillapods aren't quite a sturdy as they make out in the ads.. but it did do an awesome job.
