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?

ReplyDeleteIncredible pictures! There must be pockets where the 'old life' is surviving, no? It would be sad if all the traditional things just disappear. xoxo
ReplyDeletewoww 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 :(
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos my dear!
Looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

ReplyDeleteNice 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...
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is INCREDIBLE. I've just got to get out more!
ReplyDeleteThat's kinda how I feel about Tampa. It's just a different city now.
ReplyDeleteHoly 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.

yes, that is sad... but this last pic is surreal!
ReplyDeleteoh 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!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing photos! So full of life!
ReplyDeletei love the old parts of the city when i travel so much more. they have charm that newer architecture doesn`t.
ReplyDeleteit`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.
ReplyDeletegosh those pictures are breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThe view is gorgeous indeed! I like the old world photo too...and your new header is fab.
