Singapore Dragon Boat Festival 2009 - Day 1



This is the year the Singapore Dragon Boat Festival shifted venue to the Marina Barrage. A view of the starting line on the right to the ending point on the far left. The cityscape of Singapore with the upcoming Marina Bay Sands IR lies in the background.

I was at the opposite shore waiting to catch the first event start off. It was scheduled at 0900Hrs. Yet, the only boats around at this moment were the safety boats. Luckily, I am already used to camping at locations to wait. You find things to do. Being there alone, the only companion are the many ants moving around on the rocks. So you use a twig to play with the ants, you use the blower to blow the ants and you talk to the ants ..


and take silly photos showing your silly self.

At 0920Hrs, the teams in the first event finally came and lined up. The day has started.
