Marina Bay in 2005

Marina Bay in 2005 - Night Photography by Hendra Lauw

I had no idea that where I stood when I took the photo above, one evening in December 2005, would become a shopping mall, hotel and one of the two Singapore’s first casinos. Slightly more than a year after I took this photo, the construction started in February 2007 and the rest is history. From June 2010, the site has become the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, The Shoppes and Casino. It’s Singapore’s first Integrated Resort at Marina Bay.

Here is another view. The building from where I took the photo below also did not exist back in 2005.
