Moved

The new address for this site is:

http://pfong.blogspot.com/

I've redesigned the site template to allow me to post larger pics. I'm leaving the older pics here as they are sized to fit this template better. Do let me know if you have any thoughts on the new template. Thanks!

Four Part Harmony

Four Part Harmony

Singapore Management University by Night.

With all the news about racist comments by bloggers in Singapore recently, I thought I'd post this image. The title says it all for me.

Closing Time

Closing Time

Nine pm at the National Library at Vic St. They don't allow photography inside the library. I wonder why?

View from the Needle

View from the Needle

View from the summit of Aiguille du Midi (South Needle) in the French Alps looking towards Pointe Helbronner, on the Italian side of the Alps. Let me know if you can spot the two people in the Vallee Blanche (White Valley).

On the bright and sunny day I took this picture, the temperature on the summit was -20 C.

Mural along Selegie Road. This surprising spot of colour brightens an otherwise dingy corridor outside a coffeeshop.

Niven Road Afternoon

Niven Road Afternoon

Cat enjoying a lazy afternoon on Niven Road. There's a wonderful row of shophouses here which retain a feel of what Singapore must have been like in the past. The scene had a timeless feel under the afternoon sun. This could be Singapore in the 50's or even further back to the turn of the century. Nothing would have changed, the cat and the bicycle and the flaking paint would not have looked very different when bicycles, rickshaws and bullock carts were the only means of transport on this island.
