一道曙光,一线希望 Glimpse of hope

 


碰到阻碍时,切记别泄气,放手不干。要秉着持之以恒的态度,坚持下去。往往柳暗花明又一村,转机就在转角处。

一道曙光,一线希望,终会浮现出来。

No matter how futile a situation might look like, don't give up without a fight. Persevere on. Chances are there are opportunities abound round the corner waiting for us to discover.

Get help, talk to people. Don't suffer alone in silence!

晴空万里 Clear blue sky

烟囱,炊烟


碰上晴空万里的好天气,只要不是太过于闷热,确实是出外溜达的好时刻。

Days with clear blue sky are indeed good time for outdoor activities, provided the weather is not too warm.

Unfortunately, tropical countries barely enjoy such opportunity - the weather will most likely be gloomy /cloudy without clear blue sky...

Bridges 桥

Bridges help to connect land separated by rivers or straits. And of course, there are some gigantic bridges that stretch across sea - but this remarkable engineering feat is hard to come by.


Areas under the bridge can offer shelter for the underprivileged, or shade someone from rain.


It is heartening to see some loving couple savoring quiet moment of peace, away from mundane chores, just like the birds below...

People walking on the bridge, or passing by under the bridge are usually happy and contented, free from the troubles of work lives...



桥, 把河边两岸的离情牵连起来。

不论是步行在桥上的行人,或划过桥下的运动健儿,每人都显得无忧无虑。

I Night 2025 @ Marina Bay 滨海湾夜景

The annual I-Night festival is on again.

Went to take some snapshots of the light installations this year. Most of them are around Marina Bay.

This year, the light decors are not that impressive as last year.

Nevertheless, managed to take a few shots of the light decors and also the iconic structures of Singapore.

Colourful bulbs that light up with music as one steps on the piano-like keyboard below each pole

The White Man who climbs up the museum

The Man lying supine, resting on his forearm

The Campfire

Glittering flowers

The iconic buildings in Singapore...

The Helix Bridge and Marina Bay Sand Hotel

Fullerton Hotel

Merlion

Esplanade aka Durian House

昨晚,草草吃了晚餐及游完泳后,便整装出发到滨海湾去观赏刚粉墨登场的夜灯展。也趁机捕捉些镜头。

这次的灯饰缺少了令人叹为观止的惊叹感觉。除了那堆篝火,还有点震撼力之外!

不过能趁机拍到新加坡地标,也不虚此行。

滚滚红尘 The roaring tide

前天傍晚,牵着我家的毛孩到附近的草地小解时。在晚霞陪衬下,天空竟然呈现出滚滚红尘的现象,好比黄河壶口那翻江倒海汹涌的波涛。


Chance upon the sight of wonderful display of colorful evening clouds - it resembled that of cascading waves running through a gorge. A pity that this delightful sight can only last a few precious moments. Before long, darkness will shroud the whole sky.

Exercise walkway 运动走道

 



With enough financial support and good planning, even a simple exercise paths along a river can be transformed into a park-like environment.

This is the exercise path (about 1km distance) just behind my condominium. Part of it is shaded by the trees. The river is teeming with fish. In previous months, when otters were abound, some fish ended in the stomach of the otters.

In the evening or early morning, there are many people (young and old) going out doing their exercise routines (walking, jogging, cycling etc). There are some people fishing at designated areas of the exercise path.

乍看一下,以为是某个公园。其实,它只是个包装很得体的运动走道。步行于走道上,犹如在自然公园行走一般。
