ChinatownThis colourful ethnic neighbourhood is filled with national heritage conservation sites and interconnected narrow streets lined with shops. Explore the area and you’ll see local craftsmen making wooden clogs or laying out herbs to dry under the blazing sun. Get a glimpse of the past at the Chinatown Heritage Centre, a three-storey shop house in which the spartan living conditions of the early Chinese immigrants are reproduced. Chinatown is also home to the 160-year old Thian Hock Kheng Temple, one of Singapore's oldest and largest, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, and the bustling Street Market at Pagoda Street, a treasure trove of souvenirs, calligraphy, handmade fans and more, as well as the Sri Mariamman Temple, Singapore's oldest Hindu temple and a national monument.

The rain eventually stopped & the sun reclaimed its throne. This man is peddling baby coconuts from Thailand. I like his fedora & thought that it was interesting that he was wearing it even though he was under shelter. It’s his fashion statement.

This had to be the most amusing shot of the day – I wanted to take an overview shot of the street when this gentleman walked right in front of me & stopped. I realised that the music from a nearby stage performance stopped him in his tracks. It must have been a familiar tune. Being at the right place, at the right time & with the discretion of a tiltable LCD screen (available on SLT-A77, SLT-A65, SLT-A55 & SLT-A33), I started snapping away, without him even realising it.

A special bond is built between friends who walk through rain (figuratively & literally speaking) together. I spotted these two ladies from across the stall I was sheltering at.

Fellow colleague & SDW trainer, Bryan, gave me the heads-up on this sole remaining clog maker in Singapore. He spotted this craftsman from an earlier photography outing. The clogs he sells are handmade & customisable.
