By the River

Posted by Justin (Singapore, Singapore) on 6 June 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.

There's a certain charm of taking a nice leisurely stroll by a river watching people and boats go by or having a coffee alfresco as the world passes by... but not in the afternoon of a tropical country.

This is part of the Singapore River near Clarke Quay which isn't really a quay now. Its been remade as a trendy F&B, Night Spot kind of place. Remains to be seen if it will continue to be popular or suffer the ignominious decline of Boat Quay upriver. Artificially zoned areas have a tendency to do that.

Anyway, it's afternoon and no one's around because of the heat or no one local or sane. The two ladies in the picture are tourists and photographers like myself can be a little insane sometimes. The ladies probably regard the heat as a novelty and maybe it is to them but everyone else will wait till the evening.

Except mad photographers.
