Live & Love Out Loud and
Project Alicia are hosting a photography challenge based around the shades of autumn. You can find out all the details by clicking on the button below.
At only 70-ish miles from the equator there's no traditional northern hemisphere change in the seasons here in Singapore. I thought this might be an interesting exercise in sharing the shades of a tropical Asian autumn; lush, vibrant and dripping with
sweat colour.
I managed to post
last week's purple pictures from the departures lounge in Changi airport, and in the intervening days we have been experiencing serious culture shock in Hong Kong. Hence the radio silence; I apologise profusely for not applauding all the lovely purple posts last week. Normal service will now be resumed!
So here are some of the browns to be seen in Singapore this autumn, plus one from Hong Kong.
 |
| Little India shophouses |
 |
| ramshackle roofs |
 |
| a shade of brown that makes my life managable |
 |
| and people say Singapore's too slick and squeaky clean. I love this textured street. |
 |
| a thoughtful macaque by the path on a jungle walk |
 |
| our favourite coffee/babycino spot, Loysel's Toy at Kampong Bugis |
 |
| Singaporean cafes are big on latte art, this is one of the cutest we've seen so far at Forty Hands in Tiong Bahru |
 |
| in my opinion all the best cocktail bars,like Speakeasy on Blair Road, contain cats |
 |
| a beautiful, if rather redundant, chain |
 |
| ironmongery, Hong Kong style |

Absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteReally stunning photography. I was in Singapore about 5 years ago and loved it but to see it from a natives eye is wonderful. I also LOVE that latte angel!!
ReplyDeleteI think you chose excellent browns! Love the texture of the roofs and that peeling brown paint, the rusted chain, and oh, the coffee!
ReplyDeleteThe monkey shot made me smile!
I love that last photo and the textured street one (can you tell I like textures and abstract photos yet?!)
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your comment on my blog - thanks for the glasses love! I got them from glassesdirect.co.uk - with the fabulous name "GD533" ;)
Wow! I love brown, Singapore/Hong Kong style! Very creative...and those naturally textured shots are extra special! Especially the iron bars...really loved that one <3
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! It seems like brown was in abundance for you :)
ReplyDeleteLove the textures of brown that you captured. Can't wait to see what you have up for next week's White.
ReplyDeleteAll so unique and beautiful in their own right. Really love the bicycle shot! Thanks so much for joining us for brown week!
ReplyDeletethe Macaque looks so wise, that's a great shot! oh and I LOVE the coffee cup design..so cool!
ReplyDeleteI really like these pics! :-)
ReplyDeletebeautiful beautiful photos, why have I never noticed all these living in Singapore? I do agree, Singapore's too slick, I really like all the hidden bits of "ugly" "dirty" walls and buildings. Sometimes when I turn into an old street, I get so taken by the beauty of the untouched walls.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I love the bike photograph!
ReplyDeleteyou've found so much beautiful brown, love the coffee and macaque.
ReplyDeleteI love these, especially the photo of the fan and the lazy cat! Thanks for joining us again in the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge. Next week's theme will be WHITE. Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, love all of your brown shots! That latte looks so Delish! And the monkey is too cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! I cannot believe how artistic coffee can be! That last one really draws me in and makes me want to take in all the different shapes and details! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThese are ace! I love the cat one and the last one the best. I am blown away by the angel on the coffee - how is that possible????
ReplyDeleteHow fun getting a picture with your coffee! Awesome photos!
ReplyDeleteLove the latte angel. I want one of those!!
