Views from Singapore

Singapore, an easy nation to love! A leader in innovation, quality of life, economic growth, safety, and beauty. Plus they have some of the world's best food. Also some fascinating spots for photography. Here are some photos taken during a trip in October 2009. Also see Friends and Strangers I, Friends and Strangers II, Friends and Strangers IV, and More Photos of Friends. Also my photo portal.
