Lover Bridge of Dan Shui got its name because it was commissioned on the 14th of February 2003 Valentine's Day. It is a 196 meters long cable-stayed bridge and to walk across only takes 3 minutes. Many have come to the Lover Bridge to enjoy the sunset view here. During my time there, the weather was not in favor due to Typhoon Lupit nearing the shores of Taiwan.

CKS Memorial Hall

Took this photo on the 21st October 2009 during my honeymoon trip to Taipei, this is really an exciting trip as both me and my wife have never been to Taiwan. CKS Memorial Hall have a parade square so huge that just by standing in there will make you feel very tiny.

Jurong Falls
1° 19' 5" N, 103° 42' 26" E
"Jurong Falls" is the world's tallest man-made waterfall in an aviary at 30 metres high. It is located in the 'African Waterfall Aviary' at Jurong Bird Park (Singapore). When i was taking this photograph of the waterfall, i've faced difficulty having a good shot because of the many people in the area moving around. During my whole trip there, this is the only time that i've used my tripod. The rest of the time was busy snapping photos on the birds. So i guess if you have no intention of snapping a pictures of the waterfall then you can leave your tripod at home as i really hate bringing tripod around.

2009 Singapore Grand Prix
1° 17' 29.05" N, 103° 51' 50.93" E
This is the second time Singapore is hosting the Formula One night race but its my first time at the race. I won a ticket to view the practice session this year. I was at 'Turn 23' last turn before pit straight. Turn 23 seems a nice spot for photography, with views of the Singapore flyer right infront of me and if you go to the highest seat, you can clear the safety fence for a unblock shot at the racing cars. I was using a 70-200mm lens and later found out that 'hell' the range is not sufficient at 200mm, you would have to wait for the racing cars to get really close to your sitting area before pressing the shutter button and those guys driving the formula one cars are damn fast, i had a hard time focusing on them even in a practice session.

Eagles
Eagles are differentiated from other birds of prey mainly by their larger size, more powerful build, and heavier head and bill. Even the smallest eagles, like the Booted Eagle (which is comparable in size to a Common Buzzard or Red-tailed Hawk), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from the vultures.
