As the sun sets on the firs day of 2017, I wish you all the best for the new year. May it be a blessed one. I captured this image in our town Bloemfontein. I was hoping for a pink sunset, but got this one instead.
I had a bit of fun with water droplets. I tried out some new lighting techniques and playing around with the effects of different color filters in combination with the lighting.
Wishing you a blessed Christmas. This is the newest member in our family, Rexie.
"A Supermoon happens when a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth; also called perigee. A Super Full Moon looks around 12% to 14% bigger than its counterpart, the Micromoon. The Supermoon on November 14, 2016, was the closest since January 26, 1948. The next time a Full Moon will come even closer to Earth is on November 25, 2034 (dates based on UTC time)." (www.timeanddate.com)
We went to London one evening while we were in the UK earlier this year. This was one of my night shots of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Hever Castle is located in the village of Hever, Kent, near Edenbridge, 48 km south-east of London, England. It began as a country house, built in the 13th century. From 1462 to 1539 it was the seat of the Boleyn, originally ‘Bullen’, family.
Anne Boleyn, the second queen consort of King Henry VIII of England, spent her early youth there, after her father, Thomas Boleyn had inherited it in 1505. He had been born there in 1477, and the castle passed to him upon the death of his father, Sir William Boleyn. It later came into the possession of King Henry’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. In the 21st century the castle is a tourist attraction (Wiki).

Arriving back in Singapore our friends showed us this food court, Timbre+. It is very popular amongst the youngsters and it is built with containers and some of the restaurants serves their food from old caravans. Many of the walls is also painted with graffiti. A live band also draws much attention.
Today was the first real sunset in Phuket since we arrived. It was a beautiful display of colors.
As it rainy season in Phuket, dramatic clouds and a rain storm a different landscape from the normal colorful sunsets.
The Singapore Art Museum is close by the hotel we stayed in. The doors and pillars have interesting lines.
From time to time I get the opportunity to photograph some guest houses. This one is Milner Manor in Bloemfontein. As the moon was a bit fuller, it lit up the clouds.
