This photograph captured the Jubilee Bridge (in the foreground), Fullerton Hotel, landmark and high-rise buildings in Central Business District. The photograph was taken near the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay in Marina Bay.
It was a breezy dawn, with disturbed water surface in Marina Bay. The photograph recorded the colourful light reflections of the landmarks in the Bay.
Best wishes for a great week ahead!

Still away from Flickr most of the time with my summer work.
I hope everyone is well and happier than this creation! :-)

Weather alert, fast moving thunderstorms, wind, lightning and hail resulting in falling trees, flooding and landslides.
This is not an ideal August for the long dreamed of holidays.
"When are you planning to settle down?"
"I don't think we really settle down. Isn't it more like moving from one destination to the next? We're always going to fight a change, then embrace a change, then stick with a routine then repeat the cycle."
"You don't want to settle down? Have a forever home?"
"How could I even consider this when the world around me is ever changing? How can you pick a spot and hope that you always roll a 20 so it would never be disturbed? War, terminations, depression, economic crisis, citizenships and what about nature itself, earthquakes, floods..."
"But you can't possible keep moving as you grow older..."
"Why not? Maybe I'd like to retire near the beach for a year then move to the country side in the next year, then up in the mountains a year after that."
"Or why not just spend your days in your furnished apartment watching all the movies you missed, reading all the books you couldn't in your youth, watching your grandkids play with their grandpa computer games or just brush your cats..."
"I could do that too...but I could do plenty. Settling down just seems unlikely when you aren't really sure where you belong."
Poor frog in my garden, first he was attacked by the strimmer, then again by the lawn mower and finally he had the indignity of being chased around by a camera :-)

Terror is coursing in me
Can you find a moment
Where I have to be
And feel you die
In asylum (I live a lie)
Don't you know I'm in love with you
And I wasn't ready
For asylum (Relive a lie)
To let go
Now it's dragging me into your grave
Your asylum…

Not so much by the things I do not know. Disturbed I am by things I do know. Pentacon 3.5/30 at F5.6. This lens used to be a wide-angle lens for film cameras. On an APS-C sensor it is a 'normal' lens, an allrounder, therefore, as here, suitable for portrait as well.
I went and visited the tiny, beautiful Rowley Gallery , exposing some of Eva's work, and picked Modern Day Miss Havisham that was taken at Sunny's because it's a mood I know too well...
Sad, in disbelief, demolished but also laying in a padded room, exhausted... losing her grip on reality...
I don't have a great story to tell, but I couldn't bring myself to crop it the same way... I felt like the emptiness around her was so familiar and too relevant to take it away...

I'm not sure what the profile of the mountain would have looked like before they started digging. But they sure made a bit of a mess of its natural curves. She's no Kardashian of quarries, but she's very interesting and so beautiful in many other ways.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Apostlebird (one of about twenty that landed in a tree within 5 metres from where I was sitting. They are unbelievably noisy! Not the most attractive bird, but they are real characters of the bush and always scruffy and grubby. They are also a very social bird. They went about their business as if I was not there.)
Scientific Name: Struthidea cinerea
Description: The Apostlebird is a medium-sized dark grey bird with a short strong bill, brown wings and black tail. It is normally seen in groups of six to ten birds, and is usally seen on the ground. It belongs to the group of birds known as 'mud-nesters', the Family Corcoracidae, noted for their communal life style and their bowl nests constructed of mud and plant fibres.
Similar species: The Apostlebird is often found in association with the White-winged Chough, which belongs to the same family and has similar habits (communal living, mud nests, ground-foraging). However the White-winged Chough is quite distinctive, being black with white wing panels visible in flight, as well as having a long curved beak and a bright red eye.
Distribution: The Apostlebird is found in eastern Australia in inland areas from lower Cape York Peninsula, Queensland to northern Victoria and from Naracoorte to Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia. There is also an isolated population in the Elliott and Katherine areas, Northern Territory.
Habitat: The Apostlebird is found in open dry forests and woodlands near water. It may also be found in farmlands with trees, as well as along roadsides, in orchards and on golf courses
Seasonal movements: Sedentary, with some local movements to more open areas in autumn and winter.
Feeding: The Apostlebird usually eats seeds and vegetable matter, insects and other invertebrates and, sometimes, small vertebrates. In autumn and winter, it will move to more open country, where seeds become the more important part of its diet. The Apostlebird forages on the ground in groups, often in association with the White-winged Chough. The Apostlebird can also be known as the 'Grey Jumper', for its hopping gait and, because it lives in groups, it can be known collectively as the 'Happy Family' or the 'Twelve Apostles'.
Breeding: Apostlebirds form a 'breeding unit' of around ten related birds - a dominant male and several females plus immature birds (the previous season's young) that act as helpers. The nest is a large mud bowl, placed on a horizontal branch 3 - 20 m high, and reinforced and lined with grass. All members of a group assist with nest building, as well as feeding of nestlings, while only the adults usually incubate the eggs. More than one female may lay eggs in the same nest. While many eggs may be laid usually only four nestlings will survive to fledge, with numbers possibly restricted by the size of the nest. Two broods may be raised in a season.
Calls: Rough, scratchy, discordant: 'ch-kew ch-kew'; also: nasal 'git-out' when disturbed.
Minimum Size: 29cm
Maximum Size: 33cm
Average size: 31cm
Average weight: 128g
Breeding season: August to March
Clutch Size: Two to five; more when more than one female lays
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 18 days

Blister beetles emit body fluids containing cantharidin from joints on the legs when disturbed, giving any would-be predators a foul-tasting appetizer. Unfortunately most flowers have no such defense against the beetle.
I arrived a little late for the sunrise due to being disturbed while trying to sleep in my car during the night by marauding sheep rummaging through the car park bins. however I arrived just in time to catch the remnants of the morning mist when my fellow photographers happily informed me that I had just missed an excellent setting moon which somewhat dampened my spirits a little. Never the less the clear skies was an early indication of what was to come and the following photograph more than made up for my oversleeping
