Description
Hi guys, I'm back with more!
This is another capture of the Singapore skyline. It's on the total opposite side of what you see here --> City of lights
In the foreground is the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple where the design of the temple was carried out based on the culture of the Tang Dynasty of China and the Buddhist mandala as the core design philosophy.

I love it. Immediately gives me ideas of archeofuturism.

The contrast in the types of architecture is very interesting and eye catching. It makes for a nice photo too with the red around the temple contrasting the blueness of the sky behind the more modern buildings.

Thanks for your comment
Actually it's a combination of both. The area you see in the background is the central business district and it's the "Modern City", but in the foreground where the temple is, it's something like "Downtown" where the history is. Nice atmosphere too

oh okay... Yeah it looks like it's got a nice atmosphere to, especially with the old and new, that kind of thing appeals to me

Nice photo, the temple doesn't feel out of place in this environment at all

I think so too! They complement each other pretty well to bring out a unique combination

Now this is an amazingly cool shot. The lights are fab, and the juxtaposition of the old/traditional architechture in the foreground with the contempory, but interesting, skyscrapers in the skyline creates a real sense of being somehow out of time. I just love it!
