[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot shows a detail of one of the two amadillo-shaped roofs of Esplanada Mall.

Esplanade Mall houses the Theatres on the Bay, which is one of the world's busiest arts centres. It was opened on 12 October 2002. This architectural icon with its distinctive twin shells looking like amarillos, is sited within Singapore's civic district, just by Marina Bay at the mouth of the Singapore River.

One of the amadillos houses the Concert Hall, the other houses the Lyric Theatre. Both have a unique shape, which enhances the acoustics in the performance
halls. They are constructed like a building within a building. Each large hall is built as an inner shell.
The two buildings are separated from the rest of the building, which ensures that performance is not marred by any external noise.

The shape and texture are interesting. The cropping is appealing too. TFS. K2

Hi Dennis, great abstract my friend, the colours on that roof are excellent and the patterns are great too, maybe would have liked to have seen a little detail in the sky before it got completley dark, but that's just nit picking!

How's your travels going?

Dean.

Hi Dennis,
Very original and creative. The lit dome against the jet black sky makes a perfect balance here.
