Singapore Esplanade by night


Another night shot. This photo shows the Esplanade Drive bridge fronting Singapore's iconic art centre The Esplanade which is also nicknamed "The Durian" due to the shape of its building.

The backdrop is the CBD area of Suntec City. To the right is the newly completed world's largest ferries wheels called "The Singapore Flyer".
