This shot was taken with a Nikon D700 in Singapore, 2010.
A panorama stitch of 8 shots view from Marina Bay Sands Skypark. Weather was turning stormy and this was taken just before the arrival lightning sightings, signalling the near arrival of a thunderstorm. We are a country that never sleeps, full of light pollution. Sometimes, I just wish that there is a light free place in SG to see stars and the milky way, but alas, there is none. If u happen to know of such a place in SG, please share. Complete darkness in an area do not equate to conditions for stargazing, as the nearby lights can be so strong and overpowering that it lit up the skies within human range of sight. Sigh…
