Boat Quay Singapore
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Boat Quay - historical quay in Singapore situated upstream from the mouth of the Singapore River on its southern bank.
It was the busiest part of the old Port of Singapore, handling three quarters of all shipping business during the 1860s. Because the south bank of the river here resembles the belly of a carp, which according to Chinese belief is where wealth and prosperity lay, many shophouses were built, crowded into the area. The shophouses have been carefully conserved and now house various bars, pubs and restaurants. Therefore Boat Quay's has now new role - accommodated for tourism and aesthetics for the commercial zone of which encloses the Singapore River. It is the soft front to the composolitian banking and financial sectors lying immediately behind it. |

Hi Jiri,
Coming from Singapore, it's always refreshing to see how foreigners view the place. This portrayal is something new and interesting.
The vibrant colours in the middle section work really well in breaking of the blue hue from the building and water body.
TFS,
Joel
