This is a different perspective and take on the famous statue of the gang of Kampung (village) boys jumping into the Singapore river near the Fullerton Hotel.
The hotel had several tenants before it came to being - the General Post Office, the Singapore Club and several government departments.
A great place to visit, even if you are not staying there.

A shot of Delicate Arch at Arches National Park in Utah, about 60 seconds before the sun fell behind the horizon. If you have never been to Delicate Arch before, don't be fooled by the seemingly short mileage of this hike--it's pretty tough! In spite of this, there were easily 50 people up at the arch for sunset. Getting a shot without people swarming all over the arch was a miracle. ;)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS !
As a gardener, I dislike these in my yard, but as a photographer, I can enjoy the dandelion gone to seed (as long as it's in someone else's yard).
Even though he was a big bird, he seemed delicate to me...maybe it was the soft white coloring that made me think that. He was very pretty.
An afternoon hike to Delicate Arch to see the sunset. Towards the East there were very dark clouds gathering, and all of a sudden the rainbow appeared in the Arch. Magical!

This was taken with a Lee Big Stopper which allows me to take long exposures during the daylight. This exposure was for 101 seconds which allowed for some movement in the clouds and also for people to walk right through the picture without showing up in the image.
Arches was the first place that I actually flew to just to take pictures (back in April 2011). I had just got my nifty Panasonic bridge camera and my fancy Canon point and shoot that shot HDR(!)
For spring break this year, I decided to go back and see if I could do the place justice with all that I've learned since then.
There's something about Arches that just captivates my imagination...I think it's how positively alien it all looks...
I can't get enough of it...
Heavy rains had drenched Arches National Park and the surrounding area the day before. Taken in late November, the cold overnight temperatures created really thick fog the next morning. As I was photographing in other areas of the park, I looked toward the landscape where Delicate Arch should be. I noticed it was invisible, completely shrouded in fog. Knowing that the rising temperatures would eventually burn off the fog, I quickly rushed to the trail head and hiked up the hill; I wanted to be there before the fog lifted. Once I reached the top (and survived the nearly self-induced heart attack), I set up my shot and waited ... for about 2 hours. As soon as the fog began to burn, it went quickly. I hope I caught it at the right time.

'Cymbalaria muralis (Plantaginaceae), with common names Ivy-leaved toadflax, Kenilworth ivy, Coliseum ivy, Oxford ivy, Mother of thousands, Pennywort, Wandering sailor, is a flowering plant native to Mediterranean Europe and widely naturalized elsewhere. This plant has an unusual method of propagation. The flower stalk is initially positively phototropic and moves towards the light – after fertilization, it becomes negatively phototropic and moves away from the light. This results in seed being pushed into dark crevices of rock walls, where it is more likely to germinate and where it prefers to grow.' (Wikipedia)
I think I have more photos of Delicate than any other arch. This trip alone, I shot five or six, most with different cameras so at least they look slightly different.
Looks better in the large format. (Click L)

Delicate light. Drifting into dusk the light softens and the colours become delicate. A panorama of 4 photographs.
The DELICATE ARCH at Arches National Monument, Utah. The arch stands on the lip of a giant bowl of sandstone. It's a wonderful magical place !

Letter D Delicate- fragile; easily damaged; frail.
Nature is so delicate because it can be easily destroyed yet it's such a beautiful thing. View this on black for all the delicate detail.
I took this on this trail my mom & I walked today. It was probably the creepiest trail ever. There wasn't many people on it. & you were surrounded by swamp. My mom & I just felt like we were so alone. I don't think we're going to go back there again. :P But this clearing was so beautiful. It's like all the trees were bowing towards you. I also went driving again. I did a lot better than last time!

I took this shot last month with another photography assignment in mind. I was working to take an image while 'looking up'. My light source was the hanging bulb above my kitchen table which not only lit up the orchids, but threw shadows on the wall behind. My aim was to keep the lit lip of the centre orchid sharp while shadowed by the by the surrounding petals. Swapping from colour to black and white brought out more of the beautiful contrast between the outline of the petals and the shadowed backdrop.
