  Meet You On The Street Corner by David McMahon

  I’d never seen anything quite like it before – the corner of two streets, each wall in its own distinct colour. This was shot at Clarke Quay, in Singapore’s historic wharf district, in mid-December 2007. The other great factor that caught my attention was the orientation of the street signs in English and in Mandarin. Look closely and you’ll see how carefully the walls have been painted, with no visible overlap on the corner. Also, observe the area around the signs in Mandarin and you’ll spot a slightly larger rectangle demarcated against the wall, suggesting that the signs were once slightly larger, but not quite the dimensions of the English signs. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/350 sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm. SingaporeA-1582

  Da Bo Gong Temple - An Eastern Energy. by diLuisa

  Part of the entrance to Da Bo Gong, a Buddhist temple on Kusu Island The island’s name means “Turtle” and is one of the southern islands of Singapore, off the Straits of Singapore. It can only be reached by ferry. I spent some time visiting this temple dedicated to Da Bo Gong, the God of Prosperity and Guan Yin, the Godess of Mercy. As I made an offering and sat deep in thought, I felt impacted by the powerful energy of the temple surrounding me…...a little bit of what I have tried to re-create here…......

  Times Square by artisandelimage

  Times Square by Marianne Faithfull In a tired part of the city / Hiding from the fast talk / Watch ‘Don’t walk’ to ‘Walk’ / Easy when you’re dreaming / Staring at the movies / Standing in a circle, / Laughing at the wrong time. If alcohol could take me there. / I’d take a shot a minute / And be there by the hour. Take a walk around Times Square / With a pistol in my suitcase / And my eyes on the TV. In a car taking a back seat / Staring out the window / Thinking about danger. / Playing in a wrong world / Fighting — but I’m not free. / Talking on the telephone / Talking about you and me. If Jesus Christ could take me here / I’d fall dawn on my knees, / Have no questions to His answers. Take a walk around Times Square / With a pistol in my suitcase / And my eyes on the TV. Alcohol could take me there. / I’d take a shot a minute / And be there by the hour. Take a walk around Times Square / With a pistol in my suitcase / And my eyes on the TV. And if I die gaining my senses / Wake up in a hotel / Staring at the ceiling. Times Square, Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA Olympus SP570 UZ
