A frequently shot perspective of Singapore's CBD, taken just as blue hour was creeping in after sunset. This is a frame from a time-lapse for my next time-lapse piece, this time based on Singapore. Hoping to explore Chinatown today!
Enjoy! :)

NSW is in the grip of a catastrophic 3.5 month lockdown due to Delta. This is what I see within my 5km restricted bubble from home.
The Coop’s Shot Tower inside Melbourne Central was the tallest building in Melbourne's CBD until the mid-1940s, and has become one of the city’s most enduring landmarks. It's also one of the most significant buildings in Australia’s industrial history.
It is one of only three 19th century shot towers remaining in Australia. Thanks to the shopping centre built around it during the 1980s, the Coop’s Shot Tower is the best preserved. Inside the second floor of the tower, Melbourne Central's Shot Tower Museum has the low-down on the history of shot manufacture.
The Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve is a protected area consisting of wetlands and surrounding monsoon and dry forests approximately 70 km (43 mi) east of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia (a comfortable 1 hour drive from Darwin CBD or suburbs).
The Reserve lies within the Adelaide and Mary River Floodplains, which is an Important Bird Area.
Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve was created after the demise of an unsuccessful rice farming project which operated in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The dam was originally created as dry season water storage facility for the rice crop.
The reserve attracts a wide range of local and migratory water birds and other wildlife including one of the largest populations of snakes within Australia (including the Water Python and Death Adder), and includes a several raised observation platforms.
Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) and Freshwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) can be seen at Fogg Dam all year around.
Fogg Dam is open 24 hrs per day all days of the year. The only limitation is that during very heavy monsoon rain periods, water may overflow the dam wall (which serves as a road through the reserve) and limit traffic to high-clearance vehicles.
In some years, the dam wall may be temporarily damaged by monsoon rain overflows and be impassable for a short section.
The open nature of the reserve along the dam wall makes it an excellent site for birds in flight (BIF) photography.
The highest bird activity for BIF photography occurs later in the wet and early dry season (say March to June) when thousands of waterbirds and other water-attracted species are moving around the reserve.
Passerine species can be best photographed from treed areas, and the Woodlands and Monsoon Forest tracks.
