A Thriving, Livable, and Colorful Metropolis … Singapore – CityScape Photography

This snapshot gives a good impression of the thriving and very livable metropolis of Singapore.

Blue skies above

For one thing, it’s clean and bright. The sky is blue, and the clouds are white – y’know, the way they’re supposed to be.*  

Home and office below

Sprouting into the bright skies are plenty of office towers, apartment blocks, and condos – providing the residents with comfortable and efficient places to live and work.  

Color all around

One simple but positive and very pleasant feature of Singapore is the way the facades of all the apartment blocks and condos are painted in a 2-tone or even 3-tone color scheme. As you can see in the photo, the block in the foreground has a beige coloring, with yellow and rust-color accents.   

While most other cities, or portions thereof, suffer the blight of miles and miles of dull grey concrete housing blocks, you’ll never see such depressing sights in Singapore. Color schemes such as the one in the photo are typical of virtually all the residence towers in the city-state.    _{[Right-Click Here to Enlarge Photo]} * I’ve lived in a few other countries where the clouds were not very clean and not very white. In fact, when the sunset bathed those polluted clouds in light, the color of those clouds would often turn a strange, otherworldly purple, or sometimes even a murky brown.

In Singapore, the clouds are always white in the sunshine, and almost always natural yellow or orange during golden hour. Location – Singapore, on Google Maps
