sometimes streets are so full with car, that is better to walk at the top of them if you want to go somewhere fast
Good shot with the city scape in the background and the curve in the roadway.
I have trouble getting shots long views of traffic, I should stand at the top of a hill on a festival day, that's when all the traffic comes in and the village is unbearable.
I did get one shot of NYC traffic from a bridge--and it's one of my favorite pics, though I've never posted it --yet.
Nice picture, you show us everyday why Singapore is tops in Asia for quality of living.
very busy road indeed. ang singapore really deserve to be on top 'coz i experienced it first hand how clean and beautiful your country is.
Love the photo
Thank you for all the nice comments.
That is a great view ... but if that is a lazy weekend afternoon I wouldn´t want to know what a busy day afternoon trafic jam looks like!
that is VERY interesting!!!!! i believe it, i always hear how singapore is such a clean and organized country. i'd love to visit someday soon!
I'm not a fan of cities, or towns come to that... I try to spend as much time as I can in the countryside now.
The thing is that there do offer great pictures taking .. ;o)
