These photographs were captured on a short two day, three night visit to Singapore in February 2013. I was unable to do more than scratch the surface of this intriguing island city-state on such a brief trip, but I did manage to take a few interesting shots while I was there. Most of my time was spent in Singapore’s historic Chinatown , known in Chinese as Niúchēshuǐ (牛車水 ), but I also ventured into Little India and the Downtown Core.
