Serene Shoreline during Silent Dawn, Singapore – GoldenHour Photography

This is my entry in the GoldenHour Photography contest by @juliank.

At the far end of Singapore’s 10-km-long East Coast Park is this secluded little beach. I often cycled past it, and it was always deserted.

Connecting greenery to greenery 

A few times each month, I would wake up at around 5 a.m., then cycle up around Changi Airport and back downtown. It was a 4–5 hour ride, but since I rode almost entirely on the city-state’s extensive Park Connector Network of cycling paths, it was essentially a long ride through a forest or a garden.

A perfect dawn 

Shortly after sunrise, many people would come to the parks and paths for their morning exercise – walking, jogging, cycling, yoga, tai chi, roller-blading, or whatever. However, this beach and a few others in the vicinity were so remote that I rarely saw any other people there. As you can see in the above shot, this beach was perfectly isolated on this perfect dawn, too.
