A day at Gardens by The Bay and Marina Sands- Fantasy land

Marina Sands and the Gardens by the Bay are considered one of Singapore's landmarks, on Sunday I went there and I was amazed by the view, since I arrived there I have not stopped shooting pictures , the structures around that area are so neat,  the place turns into a fantasy land at night when the artificial  trees start to illuminate with various light colours every couples of mins, it was really wow.

Night Patrol in Singapore- Day one

Last night I decided to go on a night patrol around the area where I live in Lavender street in Singapore, taking an advantage from the safe life here, just like when the soldiers used to do a night patrol in Baghdad's neighbourhoods, carrying my rifle (camera) to document the night life in the safest places in the whole world.
 I went out after midnight walking for almost two hours,  I was a bit hesitant but I just had to push myself that I should do it. the street was quite and empty despite it was Saturday night, my first shot was something I like a cat!, which was a good start.

a bicycle near a tree, I like the light here
 
young people hangout in a cafe while a woman checking her mobile.
 

A man sitting alone in a narrow alley checking his mobile phone while smoking a cigarette, I took few shots from faraway and kept walking.
 
I passed by a Buddhist temple which was still open for prayers.
candles lit outside the temple

a loud music coming out from this place but I could not see any people outside so I kept walking

I have reached to the main street

A couple with a suitcase waiting to cross the street


people waiting for a night bus at the bus station

I have enjoyed this walk and I hope to get better shots next time.
