Month : Nov ‘08 Location : City Hall, Singapore
The Old Supreme Court Building is the former courthouse of the Supreme Court of Singapore,
before it moved out of the building and commenced operations in the new building on 20 June 2005 .
The building was the last classical architecture building to be built on the former British colony.
Built in front of the historical Padang grounds between 1937 and 1939, it was designed by Frank Dorrington Ward of the he Public Works Department, and was his last and most significant work.
The building is planned to become an arts and cultural centre in future, with plans to refurbish the building. – Wikipedia

I still prefer this grand old dame as compared to the building with mismatched marble facade and flying saucer rooftop that replaced it.
Like how you capture the traffic with extended shutters.

I would have to say these are some really nice shots! You’re really have a knack for photography, I’m impressed. I would love to take up this hobby sometimes after my retirement, maybe. ha.. yeah, I sure hope it’ll come by soon enough.
Have lost your main site’s URL after WP migration. Found this site through Google search. Hope you’re doing well so far.

Very nice series of night photography, great use of shutter and slow timer exposure !
The bright yellow effect gave it the extra impact !
