Overcast photos at Raffles Place

Media

I was in the city late yesterday afternoon and I had my camera with me so I thought I'd take a few quick photos. Problem was, no sooner had I got the camera out and set up the sky turned grey and within fifteen minutes it started pouring!

Best I could do under the circs ;).

The Square

Most of the area here is made up of pedestrian walk ways and parks, with two entrances to the Raffles Place MRT station.

Singapore Land Tower

Formally Shell House where my father used to work in 1997. I tried to get the reflection of the other tower all symmetrical but didn't quite work!

Republic Plaza

My personal favourite, I wonder how much the rent is? ;-)

OUB Centre

I had to sit in a really contorted and embarrassing position to get this photo right!

HSBC

And here's my attempt at being all "arty". I call it: "HSBC Urban Jungle". Sometimes I'm so creative with names I could just shoot myself in the face like Dick Cheney.

Suntec City, Esplanande

Unfortunately by the time I got around to photographing Suntec City and the Esplanade in the distance the rain had already started falling, so the picture is pretty crappy!
