Shortly after the cessation of rail services between Tanjong Pagar Railway Station and the Woodlands Train Checkpoint, the announcement came that the entire railway will be opened to the public to explore until 17 July 2011. With no trains to watch out for, this is a good time to explore the track and the surroundings,… Continue reading A Walk on the Tracks – Pt. 1 (Bukit Timah Railway Station to Ghim Moh)

Shooting the Last Days of the KTM Railway

I was not much of a railway person. The KTM railway in Singapore has been around for nearly 80 years, but like most people, I never thought much about it. I had vague memories of taking the train to Malaysia when I was a little kid but couldn’t remember much of it. The quaint little… Continue reading Shooting the Last Days of the KTM Railway

During the last few weekends, I’ve been photographing around the Bukit Timah Railway Station several times as I am attracted to the quaint little building and also wanted to capture the old practice of exchanging key tokens. Today,… Continue reading Tanjong Pagar Railway Station

Another Visit to the Bukit Timah Railway Station

After attending the Green Corridor walk to the Bukit Timah Railway Station last week, I decided to get Gilbert as well as another couple of friends to go there to shoot again. I also wanted to get a few shots of the token exchange process, a practice still performed here but will be history once… Continue reading Another Visit to the Bukit Timah Railway Station

The Pinnacles, Western Australia

Located at the Nambung National Park in Western Australia, the Pinnacles are limestone structures created 25,000 to 30,000 years ago after the sea receded and left deposits of sea shells. Over time, the surrounding sand were removed through the exposure to coastal winds, leaving the pillars exposed as we know them today. I visited the… Continue reading The Pinnacles, Western Australia
