Discovering Southern Ridges of Singapore

2 new iconic and prominent bridges were officially opened, connecting the Southern Ridges of Singapore together, between Telok Blangah Hill Park and Mount Faber Park.


Alexandra Arch Bridge


Henderson Wave Bridge

New locations to enjoy different sceneries of Southern Singapore !

Cret de Roch - Saint Etienne - France



Location is title as you might have guessed ;)
Taken at dinner time, it's why there is that kind of strange light (late in the evening in fact).
Post work : contrasts + sharp mask in PS (some vignetting on the first shot).
Comments and critiques are welcome
