I am tempted to make a narrow vertical crop of this with the clocktower against the background of the gold tower .

Flat lighting, try a conversion to black and white, but it's impossible to fix the sky. Desaturated in RAW conversion, tinkered with in Photoshop. Better viewed on black.

Lau Pa Sat 1

My eye was drawn to the juxtaposition of the Victorian market building, built of steel from Glasgow , and the ultra-modern towers. The weather was dull and grey, not conducive to photography, so a bit of post-processing has been applied. A saturation boost really enhanced the colour of the roof and centre tower. These look better on black.

"Previously called Telok Ayer Market, the Lau Pa Sat Festival Market is a spread of food stalls touting famous local delicacies such as satay and barbecued seafood. First opened in 1825, it used to extend over the sea so merchants could load and unload produce directly onto the boats. As its simple timber and atap (wooden) structure that rested on timber piles was not sturdy enough to face the elements, the market was reconstructed in 1836.

This new market was also demolished to allow for land reclamation, but was revived again in 1894, with a design by municipal engineer James MacRitchie. Lau Pa Sat was subsequently converted into a famous gourmet paradise that has been gazetted as a national monument since 1973, and is famed for its octagonal building structure.

But what Lau Pa Sat is most famous for is its wide selection of local food and delicacies, where visitors can find almost everything and anything under one roof. The fact that it is open 24 hours daily makes it even more of a draw."

The main entrance and clock tower.
Stephen took us for lunch here, a great meal for a couple of quid.
Interesting food!
