The modern heart of Singapore: Central Business District (CBD).
It is hard to believe that a few decades ago Singapore was still a Third World country.
The original Tappen Zee Bridge was built in 1955 where Interstate 87 flowed over north to Albany and straight on to the Canadian border towards Montreal. However by the ninety eighties it was already obsolete in design in that it was too narrow to handle the contemporary traffic flow. By the nineties negligence and the elements forced the state to spend huge amounts on money just to keep it safely repaired and there were was strong pressure to have a new bridge replaced it. Finally after literally decades of political and financial haggling the new replacement bridge shown above opened up for service with two extra lanes for traffic and considered vastly more visually pleasing in design compared to the old bridge was considered by many an eyesore and named after Governor Mario Coumo who initiated the moves to have a new bridge built while the old bridge which was dynamited and sold for scrap.
I was making the best of the sunshine in Glasgow - there were lots of deep black shadows and every building in the financial district glowed with amazing reflections. Hopefully I managed to get some of that vibe in. Was also delighted it was accepted into the LFI online gallery Architecture / Cityscape

I liked how the Music Gate frames the modern Shanghai city skyline - you can see the Shanghai World Financial Centre, Shanghai Tower (3rd tallest building in the world) and the Oriental Pearl Tower through this gateway on the so called "North Bund".
Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center and Jin Mao Tower, three tallest buildings in the world.
The architectural masterpiece that of course is the well photographed Lloyds Insurance building flanked by other buildings which in part make up the financial district in London.
i guess i like street shots for the fact that you dont necessarily need any central point of focus. u just capture the scene as is and get the over all mood of the shot.
i had to clone a person out of this shot, and i suck a cloning but i did my best !
The view of Singapore Central Business District also known as the Marina Bay Financial Center. It is the core of Singapore's financial activities and thus financial buildings of well known banking institutes are easily spotted at this area. To name a few, they are the UOB Plaza building, HSBC Building and also the Maybank building.
This area is known to be more densely packed than other parts of Singapore. In order to accomodate the densed population and inhabitors, a great number of train network are concentrated in this area.
It concerned a group of Liverpudlian tarmac layers (hence the slang for tarmac: 'the black stuff').
Boys from the Blackstuff is a British drama television series of five episodes, originally transmitted from 10 October to 7 November 1982 on BBC2.
The serial was written by Liverpudlian playwright Alan Bleasdale, as a sequel to a television play titled The Black Stuff. The British Film Institute described it as a "seminal drama series... a warm, humorous but ultimately tragic look at the way economics affect ordinary people… TV's most complete dramatic response to the Thatcher era and as a lament to the end of a male, working class British culture."
Looks like the UK is heading for the same sort of financial crisis.
(How many of us won't be able to afford heating this winter?)

Happy hump day! Half way there guys..... Here's one from the city last week; Canary Wharf during golden hour. There was some awesome clouds and reflections, combined with some insane light. It was perfect as I worked my way around capturing one of the largest business and shopping development in London.
Have a great day guys!
