Haji Lane, Arab Street, Kallang River, Singapore Flyer

This was the first photography outing with someone else other than me and my D60. We first met up at Bugis MRT Station, proceeded to have lunch at a nearby hawker, and made our way to the first destination - Haji Lane/Arab Street.






Haji Lane is located near Bugis, just alongside Arab Street. It's well known for quirky and unique fashion, which can be pretty hard to find in Singapore.

It's very much a place for people who want to be different, and dress different.

Arab Street is a stretch of road running from Rochor Canal near Sim Lim Square, and hitting into a T-junction at Beach Road. Here, you can find many coffee-shops, cloth wholesalers, some quirky shops and a Mosque or two.

We moved on to Kallang River, and if you are new to anything Singapore, our rivers, aren't rivers; just like how our mountains, aren't mountains. Anything that has water in Singapore, looks like a drain - even our beach waters. Having said that, there wasn't much photography to be expected, except a little bird here and there; although it's the longest river in Singapore.

Walking along Kallang river brings you pass Singapore Flyer, The Float @Marina Bay, the back of Marina Square (opposite) and ends you up at The Esplanade and along the way on the left, you'll be able to catch a cityscape view of Singapore's CBD (Central Business District) area.



Although we did explore Singapore Flyer, we did not ride on it nor am I posting the photos I took of it, as I'm pretty unhappy with the results, except for the one below.

It was taken in an indoor Rainforest - the size of a round basketball court. As with everything Singapore, space is limited.

There's a small pond in the Rainforest and somewhere around that pond, sat this cock-eyed dragonfly, that doesn't move a muscle...
