Lonely building on busy street

Posted by Anthony (Singapore, Singapore) on 5 September 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

went to Geylang with my Colleagues to have a great time.
Oh by the way, Geylang is a red-light district in Singapore.
But dun think wrongly, even it is a red-light district, it is also a place with great food! Reason we have a good time there is due to the food.
All the sinful food.... Oyster with eggs, frog legs, beef hor fan, and best of all....DURIAN! haa

So while we are walking around...did a bit of street shooting too..and this is the shot i like best..on this busy , crowded street... there is such a lonely looking street.

@Rabbit: Thanks! Glad u like it :)
Durian is a kind of fruit which a lot of ppl here loves. It is also known as the King of Fruits in the region.
But then becos the smell is very strong, some dreads it but I love it.
I do not have the durian shot so i shall link u to the wiki for durian, hopes it helps : wiki for Durian

Hi Bro, ........Love the shot where movement is captured ................. with regards to your question on grad filter, I did not use the filter you mentioned, Instead I used Picasa2 and played around until I got that particular effect. Hee Hee...............

I loved the description off of Wikipedia for the Durian fruit "while the edible custard-like flesh within emits the strong, distinctive odour, which is regarded as either fragrant or overpowering and offensive. The taste of the flesh has been described as nutty and sweet."

Where it talks to the odor... ha ha Fragrant or overpowering AND OFFENSIVE! It's like alot of ladies perfume in America - i would describe it the same way.

@Rabbit: Haa...so after the description , would u like to try the fruit?
Not sure if u can get this fruit over at ur side but if u happen to drop by Sgp, do let me know and i can bring u for a durian feast. ;)

Yes! i would definitly try the fruit! I try anything once (my mom taught me to at least try it no matter how it looks) or smells in this case ha ha. I still try things once in a while that i know i do not like, because sometimes as i get older i like them now :D

And yes you are correct they do not allow fruit & veggies to transport to other countries (i think it has to do with the whole geographical location of bugs & weather (and more technical things that i dont know about))

If i am ever your way - i will TRY this i promise ;D

@Rabbit: steady. yeah, we must try to learn to try everything we came across once if possible.. cos we may not know what we are missing without trying ;)
