Sunset At Bedok Reservoir

I had been to Bedok Reservoir thrice prior to this day. The first was when we attempted to go for the grand course of the treetop adventure, which unfortunately we weren't even able to start because it rained so hard and we ended up getting stuck there for almost two hours. The next two times were for running — one was in preparation for the Passion Run and the other for the Mizuno Mt. Faber Run.

On the last two occasions, I've been fortunate enough to see the glorious sunset and kept wishing I brought a good camera with me. Well, I actually did bring a camera the second time around but I don't think the pictures I took do justice to how marvelous it was to see in person, not that photos will ever be better than the actual experience, but still, I think they were kinda ugly. I'm still posting those pictures below.

It was impossible for me not to remember my wish when I began taking pictures of sunsets in Pasir Ris Park. I had to come back. So I did when I finally got the chance.

I came with one purpose and one purpose only — to take pictures of the sunset over the water. I would have wanted to run but that meant getting home late and putting the camera at risk.

Unfortunately I wasn't early enough. The sun had already began to disappear on the horizon when I got there.

Still, I tried to do what I came there to do.

The photos are not as great as I want them to be. But I think they're definitely better than the ones I took earlier.

I guess I'll just have to haul myself with a camera back there again some time soon. Practice makes perfect. And yeah, it pays well to be early too.

There must be dozens of other places where it's nice to take pictures of the sunset here in Singapore. I wonder, where should I head to next?

Another Sunset At Pasir Ris Park

So one day I had gone to Pasir Ris Park to take a few pictures during sunset. I thought it was a good idea to come back, with the area nearer to Downtown East as my target.

I was lucky to catch bus 403, luckier still to have made it in time to watch the sun disappear in the horizon.

I fail not to notice the strange syzygies in the view above. There's the child sitting, a man fishing and a lad swimming, then there's the three fishing rods which are almost perfectly aligned.

I tried to cover as much ground as I could. But there was never enough time. The moon was out before I knew it.

My last stop had to be the moored ships. I could get no farther. I had reached the boundary of the Pasir Ris Park.

Bedok Reservoir sounds like a good place for the next sunset adventure.

Sunset At Pasir Ris Park

With the sun out and no signs of rain coming, it was a good day to take a walk in the Pasir Ris Park. It was a perfect opportunity to catch the sunset and take photos too.

We had barely entered the park when we began putting the camera to work.

Well, sunsets have always been a favorite subject by photographers. Not without good reason of course.

But rather than attempting to explain why, I'll just post a few pictures here. But then again, I'm not a photographer. Even so, I know that the tired cliché is undoubtedly true: a picture is worth a thousand words. So let me say no more.
