ChinaTown Details Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Singapore's Chinatown is full of contrasts and fascinating details. Parts of Chinatown aren't even Chinese. Witness, for example, the Al Abrar Mosque along Telok Ayer Street, and the Jamae Mosque and Sri Mariamman Temple along South Bridge Road. The peaceful co-existence of the different places of worship in the same area, even until today, reflects the racial and religious harmony in Singapore."

Such amazing colors. I would love to live in this neighborhood. I only wish the photo was sharper.
This looks like an happy place.

Wow! The colors combined w/ the shadows. An eye catching and refreshing image.

Yes, the image does depict harmony among diffrences.

Good note, and this pix shows that there is still outward individual expression in modern Singapore. Peopel were told to have fun, and well...they sure did, picking these colors for their houses!

Interesting shot Rui;

China town is a great place to go and take photos. I've been down there plenty of times myself. Nice capture here, very well spotted.

Cheers!

Gsto de cores vivas e bem definidas. O enquadramento eficaz deu mais força a cena.
