at 18mm, 1/180 f/2.8, ISO 2500, hand held. Singapore, Singapore.

Singapore prende il nome da una leggenda Malese che ha narra di un principe del'lisola di Sumatra che si imbatté a Temasek (l'antico nome della località corrispondente più o meno alla odierna Singapore) in un leone (poiché i leoni in questa zona non sono mai esistiti probabilmente si trattò di una tigre), fatto considerato di tal buon auspicio da spingerlo a fondare Singapura ovvero la città del leone dal sanscrito Singa = leone e Pura = città. Singapore è una repubblica facente parte del Commonwealth formata da un'isola principale completamente urbanizzata e 58 altre piccole isole semideserte o abitate da piccoli villaggi di pescatori, zingari del mare, ecc. L'isola principale è collegata alla Malaysia, alla quale nel passato il piccolo stato ha fatto più volte parte, tramite un ponte stradale di poco più di un chilometro. La posizione geografica, pochi chilometri più a Nord delle equatore, rende la città-stato calda, nuvolosa, afosa e piovosa praticamente quasi tutto l'anno (con un picco di precipitazioni intorno a Novembre-Gennaio) anche se nel mio caso ho avuto la fortunata eccezione di trovare quattro giorni di cielo limpido (ma il clima era comunque molto afoso). Sempre a causa della posizione geografica, in mezzo alle principali rotte mercantili, Singapore fu sempre al centro degli interessi commerciali mondiali e questo favorì uno sviluppo che negli anni sessanta decollò lo Stato verso la modernità. La stabilità politica degli ultimi quarant'anni (purtroppo spesso a discapito della democrazia) cosa non comune in questa parte del mondo, il basso tasso di criminalità e corruzione fecero il resto: oggi è praticamente uno dei paesi più ricchi e alfabetizzati al mondo con poca disoccupazione ed ottima sanità.

The momentum towards the sky is the peculiarity of this composition in which there is also a nice touch of light and color.
Always interesting presentation.
Have a nice weekend

Another image that arouses amazement.
Apart from the climate that resembles the hot Po Valley summers as in these days.

Hello Alexander, it's just like that: at the equator hot, humidity and rain are a constant but without doing damage as this morning in our parts. In Singapore you understand that the seasons change because the monsoons come even if the trees are always green and you do not notice the variations. Thank you for visiting and comment, have a nice day

In the picture you can already see various lights, I would say that we are there for the blue hour :-) ; Your proposal is, as always, curious and interesting; From your long note it is clear that a little admired and almost envied a place where things seem to work all together, from health, to work, to education, to low crime, which is like saying that, with the Italians we find ourselves, it would be practically impossible to import this model into Italy.

Hello Giancarlo, it's just as you say: with much envy I confirm that things work well all together. I experienced it during my long stays when I go to visit my son and unfortunately this is also one of the reasons why he no longer wants to return to Italy. Thank you for visiting and commenting and a cordial greeting
