Singapore Flag on Display

Last week I visited a few HDBs to photograph the Singapore Flag that is out almost everywhere for the month of August to celebrate Independence Day. 

This is off Jalan Bukit Ho Swee road, The Beo Crescent HDBs. They have the best shade trees. 

This is Everton Park. They have the best cafes with excellent coffee and cakes. Very close to Outram Park MRT. 

Close up of the front of Everton Park. I love seeing the laundry hanging next to the flags.

Near a bus stop shelter. I waited a long time for a breeze to unfurl the flag enough to read it.

Large high rise HDB in Tiong Bahru. 

Another large complex in Tiong Bahru.

This was in front of Everton Park looking at The Duxton at Pinnacle. Big beautiful tree!

Another shot of Pinnacle at Duxton. Such a fancy name. 

Tiong Bahru giant apartment building.

Sort of has that NYC feel with so many high rise apartment buildings.

Tiong Bahru low rise. 

And another Tiong Bahru low rise. They have some really nice older HDBs there and great little shops all over the neighborhood. 

Happy Friday!!!

Majulah Singapura!

It's almost National Day in Singapore. The city has its flag hung everywhere and I took a few photos earlier this week. 

The old Supreme Court building across from the Padang where the celebrations will be held this year.

Here is part of the stage. They were doing sound checks when I was there so every once in a while really loud music would start up and I'd jump five feet in the air. Wonder if I gave anyone a good laugh?

 Central Fire Station. Too bad the flag on top was wrapped around the pole, would have made a nice photo.

Victoria Theater with the old bridge. So much construction still happening in the Civic Center. Wonder if it will be completed for National Day celebrations?

My best shot at cropping out some of the road work. The building is beautiful. Looking forward to attending a concert there soon I hope.

Gorgeous view of Victoria Theater and the modern city high rises in the background. 

The Arts House at The Old Parliament. Again my best shot at cropping out the construction. Once this area is finished you can expect many more photos. It is one of my favorite places in Singapore.

Happy Friday!!!
