Very impressive gleaming skyline, isn't it?
Singapore is still growing at a rapid pace...
Each time I visit this country, a new modern skyscraper is
seemingly being erected from the ground up!
With that being said, my eyes are still drawn to
the old world charm of Singapore, still found around Emerald Hills...
~take a look :
.
I could actually spend more hours just strolling & looking at
Hope this country would continue to preserve & cherish these historical treasures!

Such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics this morning L. Here in Boston we pride ourselves on having a little old/new mixture, but a place like Singapore kind of puts the lie to that.
ReplyDeleteThat skyline is incredible but I agree that the old is too special to let go. So completely charming and gorgeous. I hope it stays.

ReplyDeleteWhat a city! It seemingly offers the best of the old and the new. Thank you for more great shots, Lenore!
ReplyDeleteFascinating city!
ReplyDeletewow, what are those...bubble things in the skyline picture? interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool you got to go there. May I ask what line of work you're in?
Jenny,
ReplyDeleteThat's one amazing architecture, 'Esplanade' - Theatres on the Marina Bay, complete lifestyle experience - dining, shopping, and the performing arts! Advertising is my background.
~Thank you guys!
It is beautiful to see Singapore through your eyes.
ReplyDeleteThese pics totally get me to want to visit, and I've never really thought about visiting there before. Thanks for sharing!

I love the older parts of any big country... thank you for sharing, because when I go to Singapore, THAT is where I'd like to hang out. Just like when you're in London and you drive out to Avebury & Bath... it's like stepping back in time! I want to be transported!

Old Singapore is just wonderful. It was a shame in the mid eighties when they tore a lot of it down like Bugis Street only to see the arror of their ways.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place!
ReplyDeleteIf wall could talk, such history I'm sure!
Beautiful place, thanks for sharing darling Lenore!
ReplyDeleteƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
It looks like you are really enjoying your stay! That is awesome, I am jealous of you!
ReplyDeleteHi - I am definitely delighted to find this. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI love to see the old and the new together
ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated by the Esplanade. Too cool!!

David,
ReplyDeleteimpressed by your knowledge of Singapore!
Tamra,
obsession? I'm flattered, so sweet of you!
~Thank you everyone!
Wow, the contrast is striking! One would hardly think they were looking at pictures of the same city! That seems to be a common theme with developing countries though--expansive, aggressive development mixed with old world tradition. I'd love to visit someday..
ReplyDeleteWait--is Singapore the place where you can get arrested for littering?
Style Porn,
ReplyDeletenot arrested, but hefty FINE!
vandalism, yes~thrown to jail!
Oh how wonderful...I love old worldly buildings like this...glad they are preserving them!

I'll always take the old world charm over the glitz. Such a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteit looks so wonderful ... love your snaps! safe travels!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you ... while I love the contrast between old and new, I think the old world charm always wins me over.
ReplyDeletePhew! That is really rather spectacular - a bit Bladerunner-esque!
