Daily Photo – Singapore Rain

It was a rainy day back in August 1989 when I stepped out of the Boulevard Hotel for a wander. The church is the Orchard Road Presbyterian Church. The area has changed quite a lot in the intervening 23 years though the church remains a pillar of strength, anchoring the intersection. A review of Google Maps and street view of the location today shows the Singapore School of Arts building being the approximate location of this shot.

At the time though, I’m pretty sure I was standing on an overpass must have been standing on an overpass to get this shot. But twisting the map this way and that shows that the whole street layout has also changed in the intervening years. Progress, of a sort.
