Muddy Waters

Today, we visited the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve , a place I wanted to see for a while already. I don’t know why we did not made it there earlier … maybe because I considered it too far?! (I mean not really far, but as far as it gets within […]
Island-hopping in the Singapore Straits

Last week’s Labour Day (1st May Holiday) blessed us not only with a day off from work but also with beautiful weather. We profited to discover a new corner of Singapore and made our way by ferry to the Southern Islands. After a short boat ride we arrived on St. […]
Rain or Shine

After a rainy and lazy Saturday I left home on Sunday with the plan to cycle along the Northern Coast of Singapore. First, we stopped for a fresh seafood lunch at Pasir Ris Town Park … and had to stay put as we were trapped by heavy rain showers… (again)! […]

Along the Green Rail Corridor

Last Sunday I took part in the Green Corridor Run, a unique and beautiful 10.5km run that starts at the historic Tanjong Pagar Rail Station and winds its way along the green corridor to finish at the old Bukit Timah Rail Station. The Green Corridor is a stretch of greenery […]

Coastal highlights

Having chosen early spring (beginning of September 2014) for our trip to West Australia meant oftentimes quickly changing weather conditions. Whilst I experienced that lacking sun may cause pictures of coast lines look dull, I remembered an article in one of my photo magazines at home, recommending to shoot such […]
Wild Wild West – Xinjiang (part 2)

Together with Abdul (the camel man), three camels, a tent and quite a few bottles of water we set out into the desert. Our aim was to get a feeling for how life must have been in the past when the caravans crossed the Taklamakan, the world’s second largest sand […]

Birds, birds, birds

Soon, it will be three years that I have lived in Singapore and, fortunately, there are still a few sights and attractions that I have not yet (or not yet enough!) seen. From time to time, especially in order to avoid too much routine, I try to review my imaginary […]
