They are the Coco Valley Duty Free Supermarket, Zeno Duty Free Shopping Centre and the Onestop Duty free.

Sunset at East Coast of Singapore

Sunset at east coast of Singapore. 

There was some photoshop as the original image was too bright to convince to be a sunset photograph :) Captured with Nikon D90.

East Coast Park or Bedok Jetty, Singapore

Bedok Jetty is the longest fishing jetty in Singapore, and probably the most popular one as well located at East Coast Park, Area F. That means if you're getting there by car, you should park at car park F1. Public bus service 401 that goes in to East Coast Park on weekends and public holidays only. The jetty was used to be a pier for military use and was later converted to a jetty for public. I always wanted to try sunset photo there but I do not have chance yet.

Sunset at Sentosa Beach of Singapore

Sunset at Siloso beach, Sentosa island, Singapore.

Blog this image, (images of images) would probably be the last until the end of the calendar 2010.

Please search for me at photovigor.blogspot.com, search with google to reach me for more images especially on landscape photography.

Here is another Singapore landscape photography taken at Sentosa island. The coastline is marked by three lovely man-made beaches – Siloso Beach, Palawan Beach and Tanjong Beach. It is relatively save to swim around or involve any of water activities such as beach volleyball, beach soccer, cycling, rollerblading and kayaking.

Sentosa island is not only the hot spot for landscape photographers in Singapore but also favorite location for wedding couples and one of the most photographed sites. Search for website, there are many beautiful pictures taken around Singapore.



How to get the Sentosa island? It's easy.. The simplest way is by taking train of North-East line and alight at Habour Front Station. From there just straight up to 3rd level of ViVo City shopping mall, transfer to mono-rail, which is S$3(may vary) for return trip.



On the way to the beach, the mono rail will carry you to the very first station, Water Front Station, where you can take beautiful photos at Universal Studio. The next is Ambiah Station where the Merlion (Singapore logo) is there. And the last stop is Beach Station, where the beautiful Sentosa is awaiting visitors. You can alight and board the mono rail again and again from station to station without any additional fees.



The tram ride is free at the point of writing this post and it run for two directions, one is to Siloso beach and the other route is to the Tanjong beach. After alighting from mono rail, the tram at the right is to Siloso and to the left is to Tanjong beach.

Singapore Skyline

Although this is not the most photographed site in Singapore I love the color, evening sky and beautifully reflected buildings by the setting sun .If you are not residing in Singapore, probably you wouldn't know or have seen such residential sites but rather you would see those beautiful sites like Singapore river, Singapore night scene or the very famous Singapore eye.

Hope you enjoy my photos.

Australia holiday_Gold coast

The Gold Coast is a city situated in the southeast corner of Queensland, to the south of Brisbane, Australia. Only 78 km (48 mi) from Brisbane and it take nearly 2 hours train ride form Brisbane Central Train Station, to Nerang, a small township. From Nerang to Gold coast is 45 minutes bus ride and the train ticket include the bus ride. Tourism is the biggest industry in the region, directly contributing more than $4.4 billion into the city economy every year and directly accounting for one in four jobs in the city.










Waterfront canal living is a feature of the Gold Coast, and most canal frontage homes have pontoons.Residential canals were first built on the Gold Coast in 1950s and construction continues.Recently constructed canals include Harbour Quays and River-links completed in 2007. There is over 890 km of constructed residential waterfront land within the city that is home to over 80,000 residents, which is a very big number.










Gold coast town area in the afternoon. Most of the tallest residential high rises are seen only at Gold coast in the world.

Australia holiday_Melbourne

On the way to The Twelve Apostles, which are located along the spectacular Great Ocean Road. The Twelve Apostles are giant rock that rise majestically from the Southern Ocean and are the central feature of the rugged Port Campbell National Park.

The images taken are under very cloudy environment and the worst was it is drizzling every now and then. Sunrise and sunset offer some great views as the Twelve Apostles change several colours from dark in shadow to brilliant sandy yellow under a full sun.

But, unfortunately it was a cloudy day. :(

Sunset at Woodlands, Singapore

This Sunset was taken at Woodlands, Singapore.

Bridge to Japanese Garden

Bridge to Japanese Garden from Chinese Garden.

Japanese Garden

Rock Garden is part of the Japanese Garden.

Japanese Garden, Singapore

Japanese Garden is built on an artificial island and located next to the Chinese Garden just cross over the bridge. Both are accessible by train, alight at Chinese Garden station, west of Singapore.

Unlike Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden design is more minimalist and abstract, with emphasis on simplicity and offer the sense of nature. It is based on the gardening techniques which prevailed from the Muromachi period (1392 – 1568) to the Momoyama period (1568 – 1615) in Japan.

Several arched bridges over lily-filled ponds and streams as well as traditional summer houses all add to the serene and tranquil surroundings of the garden.

The most attracting scene for photographers are those red colored arched bridges and some huge rocks there, which enhance the landscape of the garden.

Strongly recommend for Landscape and Nature Photography and try to visit there if you happen to be in Singapore.

Chinese Garden, Singapore

The 7-stories pagoda is situated on a small hill in the Chinese Garden, and the design follows the style of Ling Ku Temple Pagoda at Nanjing, China. It is cool and windy once you go up, and one can enjoy the surrounding scenery and probably the best site of Chines garden (for me).

Chinese Garden was built in 1975 and garden design was by a well-known architect from Taiwan, and the concept is based on Chinese gardening art. It is located next to Chinese Garden train Station.

The Garden provide a peaceful atmosphere to visitors who go there for either walk or jog or enjoy the landscaped grounds. It is famous for almost all amateur and professional photographers who love nature photography. Probably the most beautiful place for wedding photography by the bridges and pagodas. Not only that, family photography or picnic should also be considered since it is the most quiet, decent and beautiful place in Singapore.

The bottom-up view of the temple was taken from the inside of the building.

With maximum effort, years of planning and cultivation, Singapore has became well known as Garden City. There are are several gardens and parks and some of these include Singapore Botanic Garden, Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden, Forth Canning Park, East Coast Park, Bishan Park, Telok Blangah Park and Pulau Ubin Recreation Area.

One of the fundamental aspects of Garden City concept is the road side landscaping or greenery. As Singapore progress, there is a danger of losing landscapes and thus landscape maintenance and landscape design are becoming critical in building the Garden City.
