Life – Water Ride

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 6 July 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Here is a shot of the bumboat sailing peacefully towards the mouth of the Singapore River.

While it is true that friends can sometimes rock our boats but this picture also reminds me that friendships can be like this water ride...calm and peaceful, enriching one's life in a positive way.

So it’s hurray for friendships! :)

May your coming weekend be filled with much good times with friends!

i love the water trails (: hmmm and i wasn't aware the sun went behind the esplanade... i thought it rose from the left of it (if standing at esplanade facing the sea), and set on the right. hmmmm.

Beautiful colours and composition. And the words too. But for some reason my first thought was it looks like a shot from some of the "end of the world" types of movies :).

Futuristic and depressing. I think it is the tonality.

The dark tones lend a foreboding feel in this shot. Almost as if they are sailing into dangerous territory. Lots of drama in this.

Like one of our students sailing into the unknown, attracting but also a bit threatening future. Great contrast between the modern, powerful skyline and the adventurous and smart form of the boat.
