Apartment View Photo

Photographer’s Note

At the airport we were met by my wife's sister and brother-in-law (how lovely it is to be met by someone at airports) and whisked to their spacious apartment at marine Vista, all the way up on the 14th floor. Every time I looked out from the balcony or the corridor that provides the lifts, I could see the sea and sky in their various moods.
The tankers we saw all lined up and moored, were the signs of the economic downturn, since trade has slowed down dramatically. I have been told that to moor one's ship in Singapore's waters is relatively cheap. So many tankers are operating with skeleton crews, having sent their full crew home for the time being. Later on I shall post a photo of these ships at night, all lit up, stretching along the horizon line, waiting like a file of glowworms.

It means it is an apartment with a view over the sea! The sunset light adds a warm feeling to the building on the left and the ships at sea. By the way, it is always warm, very warm, in Singapore!!!
It is a nice shot with good light and great POV. Well done

A very cool shot here that you have captured of these two tall apartment buildings framinng the Singapore waters below. The way the sun is shining on the building to the left really makes for a "painting like" effect. Very nicely done.

Caro Klaudio, I like how the building's create a graphic framing of this photo and they also set off the lights on the ships in the sea. The green FG also provides a nice contrast and all finished off well with the vertical frame. Un caro abbraccio, Lisa.

Sorry for my delay to answer your kind words, Klaudio.
What a lovely paradoxal view featuring rigid verticallity opposed to the elegant lines of tree tops that gives an impression of an open door to a vacation
season!
Hava g'day.

Hello Klaudio,
An interesting photo, which is combining a very urban view to the lush green forest and a view over the sea.
Beautiful light and colours, which create a lovely mood.
TFS!
Greetings,
Lasse

Bonjour Klaudio.
Une très belle lumière sur cette composition d'une grande beauté. J'aime la géométrie des deux immeubles qui encadrent la vue sur la mer.
Excellent !
Amicalement
Jacques

Both the bottom half and the top half could be attractive ones as stand alone compos... good inclusion of the building on left, in attractive light, also emphasizing the efficient exposure achieved in the shadow areas
