Xmas Lights In Singapore - What You Should Notice

The corner of Orchard Road.

Again typical of Singapore, tropical countries, warm whether places to escape winter in Britain and North America, palm trees are there all year but at Christmas the lights all around at night turn the trees into silhouettes.

The curves end in circles. Very pleasing. I must remember that when making Italic signs when drawing on a whiteboard when teaching or training businesses or designing a poster.

In front of Isetan, the Japanese department store, whose name you can see in the centre of the photo left of the illuminated yellow light giant pillars on the curved front of the building. Typically of tropical Singapore, lots of greenery at ground level.

Driving from Tanglin. Rows of lights ahead of you recede into the distance, making a V shape.  Curves and stars are strung across the road.

A couple of years ago, everything worldwide went blue. Blue lights. White artificial Christmas trees in shops. In years to come you will be able to look back and date a photo of yourself taken by the Christmas lights.

Colours to brighten your day - orange, pink or red building?

I stopped to photograph this bright orange wall with the windows. A friend asked me, "why are you photographing that?"

Mostly when somebody takes a photo it is obvious why you are taking a picture. If you photograph a beautiful bride or a huge bright yellow sunflower others understand why and might get out their camera.

I replied, "The colour! The colour!"
On a sunny day the colors are more vibrant.

Orange, red, pink? It probably changes according to the time of day.

Look at those odd shape windows. Not set in a line. One square, one oblong vertical.

 I prefer curves. But the building could have been a straight slab with no windows, and all grey. In an otherwise dismal outlook, this bright building brightened the view and brightened my day.
