In the tropics, sunsets can be quite spectacular and Singapore is no exception. When you add some palm tree silhouettes to the equation, the message definitely reads: “Holiday and good times”. This photograph, however, was snapped quickly while I was at a conference and I remember during this trip I did not get much of a chance to do any sightseeing nor much photography... Nevertheless, even during a busy business trip, one could enjoy the exotic location and take in the excitement of being in a distant destination far from home.

Now in the thralls of a COVID-19 lockdown with no end of restrictions in sight, this photo from the archives is tinged with more than a small dose of nostalgia. Those good old times when travel was frequent, for both business and pleasure, when the world was a much safer place and when people could mingle freely in tourist spots, crowded markets and busy shops. As we remain confined at home, we can at least reminisce and hope that in the near future travelling around the world can begin again with no restrictions.

  2. Singapore gets those firey red sunsets - just stunning. Hope you are okay. My heart breaks for VIc at the moment. Must be so stressful. I wish they'd make mask mandatory in Sydney - such an easy and effective way to slow down spread...

  4. Thanks for the party. Beautiful photos. I yearn for the day we can travel freely again, but sadly, I don't think the globalists want people traveling so we've probably seen the end of those days. I hope I'm wrong.
