In 1819, Sir Thomas Raffles negotiated a treaty whereby Johor allowed the British to locate a trading port on the island. The Sultan of Johor is the sovereign ruler of the Malaysian state of Johor. It all was leading to the establishment of the British colony of Singapore in 1819. The port was strategically located along the main trade route between India and China. Singapore became an independent republic in 1965. Nowadays the country has become one of the world's most prosperous nations, with a highly developed free market economy and strong international trading links. Tourism in Singapore is a major industry and is the 5th most visited city in the world. Along with this, it also has one of the world's lowest crime rates. Public transport is easy when visiting Singapore. This includes the well-known Mass Rapid Transit system. MRT trains are fully automated without driver! Singapore is a green and clean city. It is also full of natural attractions and cultural heritage sites, from botanic gardens and nature parks to temples and museums. Chinatown is a small piece of China in the heart of Singapore. Once an enclave for Singapore’s Chinese immigrant population, the Chinatown of today is much-beloved for its blend of old and new, with historic temples and traditional medicinal halls sitting alongside hip new bars and lifestyle shops. You also can't miss the three monstrous towers of Marina Bay Sands which stand at the Marina Bay waterfront. Apart from the casino, the Marina Bay Sands also has a shopping mall, resorts, museums, theatres, an ice skating rink, and a Skydeck with an infinity pool. Next to the hotel are the Gardens by the Bay. The beautiful Gardens by the Bay light up in the evening with a free light and sound show. But the park consists of much more. There are three gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden. In addition, there are two conservatories with botanical gardens, and the SuperTree Grove, with its well-known OCBC Skywalk. Definitely worth a visit.
Take a refreshing walk in the award-winning Gardens by the Bay of Singapore. Of the 18 Supertrees in Gardens 12 of them can be found here above at Supertree Grove, with the tallest one measuring up to 50 metres tall. The Supertrees come alive with an exhilarating display of lights and sounds at night. See the gardens from a different point of view from the OCBC Skywalk. Beside the Supertree Grove there are the Cloud forest and Flower dome. The dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world. The Cloud forest is an impressively landscaped rainforest with spectacular waterfall. A route runs from top to bottom via large walkways. Men at work cleaning the windows of the Flower dome.
In 1819 onderhandelde Sir Thomas Raffles over een verdrag waarbij Johor de Britten toestond een handelshaven op het eiland te vestigen. De Sultan van Johor is de soevereine heerser van de Maleisische staat Johor. Het leidde allemaal tot de oprichting van de Britse kolonie Singapore in 1819. De haven was strategisch gelegen langs de belangrijkste handelsroute tussen India en China. Singapore werd in 1965 een onafhankelijke republiek. Tegenwoordig is het land één van de meest welvarende landen ter wereld geworden, met een hoog ontwikkelde vrije markteconomie en sterke internationale handelsbanden. Toerisme in Singapore is een belangrijke industrie en is de 5e meest bezochte stad ter wereld. Daarnaast heeft het ook één van 's werelds laagste misdaadcijfers. Openbaar vervoer is eenvoudig tijdens een bezoek aan Singapore. MRT-treinen zijn volledig geautomatiseerd zonder machinist ! Singapore is een groene en schone stad. Het staat ook vol met natuurlijke attracties en culturele erfgoedsites, van botanische tuinen en natuurparken tot tempels en musea. Ook kun je de drie monsterlijke torens van Marina Bay Sands die aan de waterkant van Marina Bay staan niet missen. Naast het casino heeft het Marina Bay Sands ook een winkelcentrum, resorts, musea, theaters, een ijsbaan en een Skydeck met een overloopzwembad met prachtig uitzicht op de stad. Naast het hotel liggen de Gardens by the Bay. De prachtige tuinen by the Bay lichten 's avonds op door een gratis licht en geluidsshow. Maar het park bestaat dus uit veel meer. Naast het Supertree Grove zijn er het Cloud forest en de Flower dome. Deze dome koepel is de grootste glazen kas ter wereld. Het nevelwoud is een indrukwekkend aangelegd regenwoud met een spectaculaire waterval. Een route loopt van boven naar beneden via grote looppaden.

Watching the workers on this construction site provided many good photo ops. The concrete had just been poured and these workers are putting the finishing touches on it.

The new World Trade Center/Cortlandt Station opened this past weekend. This work crew is on the way to install signage.
Everyday this man is working on these saltbeds. Pouring seawater over the square plate, waiting for a couple of hours to let the water evaporate and then "harvest" the salt and pour new seawater. Under the scorching sun at 30 to 35 degrees. Everyday. Not to amuse tourists (nobody notices him working out of sight). But for his everyday income. Seeing how much work they have to do to get the salt and knowing the price of salt it's hard to imagine he can even make a living out of it.
When we stopped at the saltbeds and talked a bit with the tennant, she was so proud that we showed interest and without any problem I was allowed to take some images. She toured me around and told everything that was going on there. Filipino's are so kind!
In this situation I liked (from a photographers point of view) the leading lines of the beds and the color combination of the scene and the guy's clothes.

Oh, the crane? Not to pick the broom operator up if he falls over.
It's on a new flats complex being built here in South st. Sheringham.

I managed to take quite a few candid pics on my holiday - this one has to be my favourite!
I'm sure he is quite diligent in his work and this was his break, but surely he could have found somewhere less obvious for his kip?
A handful of times when the local council workers do nothing or string it out to fill time, or so it appears. I think Trigger's broom did more work than this lot, ha ha.
Is it much the same where you are?

I came home from the California State Railroad Museum with a bunch of dark, colorless shots. It took a bit, but I came up with a gold duotone treatment I liked in Lightroom 3. Then, I saved the treatment as my very first Lightroom preset. So cool. I really love that program.
And, Happy Bokeh Wednesday.
Electric locomotive (called a "mule") on the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal. Mules connect to the ships in the locks via cables that are used to center the ship in the lock. The ship moves from lock to lock under its own power, the mules just follow along taking up and letting out their cables as directed by the pilot on the ship.
