Among all the things I do in my free time, I probably enjoy photography the most. It’s an activity that sharpens my observational skills and helps me burn off extra calories from the lack of physical activity in my job. Spending the entire day at a desk can eventually lead to health issues, which worries me. That’s why, whenever I have free time, I like to visit places where I can take photos and enjoy a relaxing walk. I find this activity beneficial not only for my physical health but also for my mental well-being.
Ever since I started going on these photography walks, I’ve become more aware of the things around me that I used to subconsciously ignore or overlook, including the architectural elements in my surroundings. I suppose it’s because the buildings around me often seem too mundane, so I never truly appreciated them. Another reason might be that I wasn’t trying to seek out interesting perspectives and be amazed by them.
For this black-and-white photography post, I’m focusing on architectural subjects I photographed over the past few weeks. Let me start with the canopy design at Plaza Singapura. This type of design is known as a "space frame," a three-dimensional structural framework.
What amazes me about this canopy is how it artistically envelops the walkways.
A striking contrast to modern structures is the classic or traditional designs I discovered at the Chinese Garden in Jurong Lake. The buildings exude a vibrant spirit that flows through every element, from the walls to the roof, which stands out as the most impactful aspect of their design.
A subject I often photograph is nature. However, spending most of my time in the city center means that what I usually see is man-made. Even when there are plants around, it doesn’t quite feel like true nature.
Exploring the world through photography has opened my eyes to the beauty in both man-made structures and the natural world, even in the most unexpected places. Each photo I capture tells a story and reminds me to appreciate the details that often go unnoticed. Thank you for joining me on this journey—feel free to share your thoughts or your own experiences in the comments!
This! Now, my phone is always ready to take a photo. And before I only do it wothout giving much though on the angle, but now, I gave importance to its amazing angle and I appreciate then a lot now.
Anyways these are lovely shots. You can always find something beautiful in those buildings everywhere. Even the smallest things but if its too pretty, it would be too hard to ignore them. Same with Nature, that's why being with nature is like you are in a Paradise.
Totally agree with you.
And my phone is also my most used camera right now. My problem is storage space, lol, I'm taking photos much faster than me deleting the ones that I don't need 😅
Such wonderful pictures of nature and architecture
I'm glad that you liked these photos. Have a nice day ahead 😊
Photography really does open up a whole new perspective on the world around us. Love how you’ve captured the beauty in architecture – there’s so much to appreciate when we stop to look closely!
Agree to that 💯! Sometimes we only need to look at a different perspective or angle to find a better view.
Thanks for checking my post.
Looking at your pictures reminded me how long I have not visited Plaza Singapura. Love the architecture of the walkways.
Same here so I went there to check it out. I think, pop mart is the most interesting shop there right now 😅
Photography also strengthens us as a physical exercise, helps us to have a greater sensitivity to the existing images and creates perspective, as you show us with this series where architecture creates within the compositions a greater analysis of geometric shapes. Greetings and good post !
Thank you so much for the meaningful feedback @wilfredocav , really appreciate it.
