I took a stroll down along the Sinapore river at night and came across the Cavenagh Bridge, all lit up. This bridge and one of the oldest bridges in Singapore and is the only suspension bridge here. It spans the lower reaches of the Singapore River in the downtown/marina area. The bridge opened in 1870 to commemorate Singapore’s new Crown colony of the Straits Settlements status in 1867, and it is now the oldest bridge in Singapore that exists in its original form. By 1910 the bridge was found to be unable to cope with increasing traffic, and it was restricted to just pedestrians, as it is today. By the 1990′s colored lights were added, and now the bridge is a main tourist focal point within the riverside area. This photo was captured with 7 second exposure to capture the colorful night lights.
