Christmas Lights On Orchard

One month until Christmas Day and it is time to get out and about to enjoy the lights on Orchard Road. Every year we have been here we have enjoyed the way that Orchard Road Lights up for Christmas. This year has got to be one of the best so far. Recently Ruth and I took our cameras on a ramble down from Tanglin Mall to Somerset. It took us most of the evening and that was without going into any of the shops. We love the Reindeer!





Trees decked in all their Splendor.

Trendy Reindeer shopping for bargains.

Fancy globes that light up swaying gently in the breeze

Stylish Christmas Trees studded with globes that sparkle
All Red and Blue

Masses of festive lights
Bringing happiness and Christmas Cheer.


Christmas Trees that are particularly beautiful this Year.



We are looking in but what is watching us,
look about?

Ion has a tree that looks good inside and out.


Step inside and marvel,
It's magical.
Now that's what Christmas is About!






Singapore After Dark

It has been such a long time since I have sat down to update! Where has the second half of the year gone? Actually it has been a very active time for us. Work seems to be as busy as ever but we have still found the time to get out and about. Lately, we have been exploring night photography with our cameras. We have been taking our cameras out after dark and trying to capture some of our favourite places down by the river.

An old Auntie sits.
Reflecting on bygone days.
Some don't show their true beauty until after dark!
Once there was a hive of activity.
Merchants, traders making the deals.
Now there are restaurants and meals!
Boats, Lights Action.
One side is full of bustle.
The other a place for reflection.
When you make a deal you should stick with it.
Beware the first restaurant he offers one thing
Then tries to change his rules.
The best meals are further along.
River Lights and Night life come together.
Singapore never sleeps

Looking back at the heart of Asian Banking.
