All taken today (02Mar09).

What an interest cloud formation this morning...

Some water shots..

Merlion receiving attention after stuck down by lightning yesterday...

Big storm coming at Holland Village area...

....while sunny on this side

Lovely pics lifestyle! The water shot is good. I see that they are VERY efficient at taking care of the merlion

I like it when before a thunderstorm the skies become very dark. Interestingly the facade of many buildings appear whiter or more reflective when this happens.

Thanks RafflesCity. I think more like fix it quickly and make it look nice for tourists as this is the Singapore iconic symbol. Or wrapped it up so that photohog don't take more damaged pics.

I like these shots when the storm are just about to brew...can see great contrast with sunshine on one side (hence reflection of sunlight on facade).

Will post more of stormchaser pics...
