Over the weekend I was exploring the island and was so thrilled to stumble upon
this scene from 'Old Singapore'...was instantly CHARMED*
Such an extremely rare sight to be captured these days! You know...
old buildings/shops continue to be replaced with new developments in here;
Singapore is one rapid changing developed country!
~take a look at the new Singapore:

~Woweee...Amazzzing view right?
Certainly anyone would marvel at the obvious progress!
However, I feel somehow a little sad that 'change is inevitable'.
The original 'old charming Singapore' scenes are almost gone...or going?

Fantastic photos...That city is so special...Have a wonderful Monday,sweetie
Incredible pictures! There must be pockets where the 'old life' is surviving, no? It would be sad if all the traditional things just disappear. xoxo
woww the change is so dramatic! i also love the old authentic look as well when i visit different countries, so in some ways the change is pretty sad :(
It always makes me sad when we lose the character of the "old." Yet I so thrive on the excitement of the "new" too. Hmmmmmm, dilemma.
Fantastic photos my dear!
Looks amazing.
I feel less and less like moving with the times.
Think I'm turning into an old fogey.
And may I say again - thanks for sharing your trip.

Amazing pictures. I know how you feel with the old vs. new. I feel the same with New York.

Nice capture of the "Old Singapore". It's a beautiful, bustling city! Though I do wonder if the older generation feels a sort of sadness sometimes about modernity...
All I can say is INCREDIBLE. I've just got to get out more!
That's kinda how I feel about Tampa. It's just a different city now.
Holy moly! That's a whole lot of electricity! I don't think we have any cities that can compare in the states...we are quickly becoming irrelevant.

And can you imagine what Singapore will look like in twenty years? Crazy!
wowwowowowowowowowow. that is a serious cityscape!
The new Singapore is so elegant and sophiticated. I am sure that the areas of old world charm can be found though!

yes, that is sad... but this last pic is surreal!
oh wow! i just have to save some photos lenore! they took my breath away! the old view is charming indeed but the city ones with the bright lights and night sky took my breath away!
Wow, amazing photos! So full of life!
i love the old parts of the city when i travel so much more. they have charm that newer architecture doesn`t.
it`s still cool looking but just not as special as the older part!!
I'm a real sucker for a twinkly sky line, but yes the old needs to be preserved too I agree.
gosh those pictures are breathtaking!
The view is gorgeous indeed! I like the old world photo too...and your new header is fab.
