YOG torchbearers

After travelling to five cities around the world, the Youth Olympic Flame arrived in Singapore for a 6-day traditional torch relay run.

2,400 torchbearers will have the honour of carrying the first Youth Olympic Flame. The torch relay winds through the streets of Singapore, through all the five community districts (today being the last thru the Central District) and ending in the heart of the city before finally reaching the waters of the beautiful Marina Reservoir, and the Float@Marina Bay – the venue for the Singapore 2010 Opening (Tom 14Aug) ceremonies.

This picture was taken outside The Botanic Gardens.

Sunrise at Seletar airport

Seletar Airport was Singapore’s first international airport. It was completed in 1928. Today, it is still used by many private aircraft for training and services.

This was taken just after sunrise at 6:40am over the weekend. It’s a beautiful and peaceful surrounding and a great way for a stroll.
