Looking Up

I have a bare wall in my guest bedroom that needs a photo. Since it is a narrow wall I thought it would be fun to shoot the perspective of height or vanishing point. It's been a bit of a challenge but a fun challenge. Here is what I have so far. Nothing I'm ready to print and hang just yet.

 This is the Parkview Square building in Bugis. it was completed in 2002 in art deco style. The New York City Chanin building was the inspiration. This beautiful gold crane is facing mainland China and a poem nearby refers to the mythical crane ready to fly thousands of miles back home. I do like this photo but I think I'd like to retake it, maybe try to get both wings of the crane in the shot and straighten out the building a bit. Not bad though, I do love art deco architecture and this is one of my favorite buildings in Singapore.

This is the Park Royal hotel across from Hong Lim Park in downtown. The many terraces are beautifully landscaped. Its a gorgeous hotel, love all of the gardens and it is so striking in person but this photo is not doing it any favors!

Looking up a pretty tree in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. The tree trunk had these spiky ball thingys all over it, very strange. The photo will go in the same room as the flower wall so maybe a tree photo would be nice?

This is the perspective I was looking for but not the right layout. Sometimes the Art Science Museum (odd white flower shaped building on the right) is lit at night with colorful lights. I'll try to re shoot in the future. 

I sort of think this is cool for our guest room...not really going along with the theme of height though.

Since I'm off topic I want to add this photo too. It is my most favorite tree photo so far. I have always wanted a good tree photo to blow up really big and made into a triptych. I'm still searching for the perfect tree to do this with. It needs to be larger and I think with a cleaner background. I don't really have the wall space anyway....

Here is height! I was really hoping those coconuts wouldn't fall on me :) Thankfully, they did not! That would normally be my luck though, lol!

Vanishing point with a flower. Not quite but close. 

So that's what I've been working on this week. Probably I will be working on this for a while since I am not happy with any of these. It is sort of fun to have a project and a particular idea and to try to go out and find something specific. 

A new bike/running/walking path has opened very close to home allowing a run or a bike ride from our place all the way to East Coast Park without having to ride on the streets. I went out once this week so far and it is really great to be able to ride for a few hours and not have to worry about traffic. I just love it and feel so lucky to have it so close to home. 

Happy Friday!!!
