travelogue (3)

Posted by ally (: (Singapore, Singapore) on 26 June 2007 in Landscape & Rural.

do pardon the random black patch at the top left corner of the photo, as well as the faint lines somewhere near the middle. i took this from the 28th floor of the hotel, through the window. hence, i got a couple of darned reflections from the lobby lights.

no one ever said life was one straight road.

..and sometimes random "black patches" and "darned reflections" get in the way of life's "not so straight road." Very inspirational picture allyy'*

I'm sure that road is beautiful when you're on it, and then it's a completely different beauty from above. What a place.
