This photograph was taken early morning near Jubilee Bridge looking towards Mandarin Oriental and Ritz Carlton Hotel (from left of photograph), Esplanade Outdoor Stage, Singapore Flyer (with the mast of the Stage seen in front of the Flyer), The Float, ArtScience Museum and Marina Bay Sands.
It was a beautiful morning, with colourful clouds complementing the illuminated buildings and lights along the Esplanade. The relatively calm conditions resulted in mirror-like reflections of the clouds and structures in the Bay.

The Singapore Flyer is an observation wheel at the Downtown Core district of Singapore. Officially opened on 15 April 2008, it has 28 air-conditioned capsules, each able to accommodate 28 passengers, and incorporates a three-story terminal building. The flyer has made numerous appearances in media and popular culture that features Singapore.
The Flyer has an overall height of 165 metres (541 ft), making it the world's tallest Ferris wheel upon completion. It was surpassed by the High Roller Ferris wheel which opened in 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, with a height of 167.6 m (550 ft), making it 2.6 m (9 ft) taller than the Flyer.
The Flyer opened in 2008. During Chinese New Year, corporate 'inaugural flights' were held from 11 to 13 February, and tickets for which sold out for S$8,888, an auspicious number in Eastern culture.
