Sunrise at Changi

Today, I did what I thought I'd never do in the right mind:
Wake up @ 0500.

Of course, I only did it because YS was meeting me picking me up, and as a result he had to wake up even earlier than me.

This is a reason why morning runners should all have running buddies.

Anyway, after a nice drive along the almost empty highway, we reached Changi Beach. Boy was it DARK. Dark dark dark dark at around 0630. So, while walking on the beach I stumbled upon a few things. Including a white cylindrical object I hope and pray was not an urn.

And fortunately YS called out before I stumbled onto this couple in the darkness, happily hugging it seems:



Fortunately again, it was not R21.

Soon after, they left with my intrusion. And the sky began lighting up.



If you're a horizontal person, you'll prefer this:



Just to give prior warning, this will be a long and photo-heavy post.

'Cos I finally have the time to go through my photos!

Onwards!

A photo with seagrass:



I like taking photos of seagrass



Till I looked upwards and saw the pink cloud! Giant and pink like a huge puff of cotton candy which exploded into the sky.





Check out this beaut!



I love how both the skies and sea contrast, blue on one side and goldish pink on the other. Almost as if I used my fabulous Singh-Ray Gold-N-Blue Polariser, which was resting in my bag at said moment.



An awesome sky above the trees lining Changi Beach:



Then I looked around, and saw a man fishing.



Here he is, without his fishing rod.



Then I looked upwards again (you get the gist?)



But while I was stoning and complaining about the lack of a SUNrise since the skies seemed to be lighting up of their own accord...

This photographer from a huge group which appeared out of nowhere started making his way to front.





That wily man had spotted the sun!



Which was quite disappointing and partially covered by clouds if you ask me.

By the way, why did I wake up at 0500 for this?!

Then I calmed down and took a position nearby and started shooting. The ugly sun.




and the lovers sailed off into the sunrise.



This one reminds me of a photo I took in Canada. Which knowing me, haven't uploaded or processed for the matter:



And here's my favourite out of all the photos I've taken:



See the plane and the sun? Nice!

We're only halfway through by the way, but don't stop reading.

Here's the typical sunrise shot. Boring... but I kinda like those clouds floating in a row:



Then light bathed Changi Beach in its beautiful glow.



Beautiful glow is subjective. The above photo contains the fishing man. Fisherman. Whatever.



That lil fella between the fishing rod and little fisherman is YS (:

Here he is again!



and again.



Did I mention what a nice guy he is? His camera battery died halfway but he waited patiently while I kept snapping away with indecision.

Let's end with another shot of the beautiful sky (:



Goodbye!
