SINGAPORE ~ Skyline ~

... Nice aerial skyline view... according to Jobbo a long outdated one because the top left corner is now also filled with buildings... Singapore is known as one of the world’s most prosperous countries... a financial center... an achievement in urban planning... and serves as a model for many developing nations... it’s also a popular travel destination... Singapore is among the 20 smallest countries in the world, with a total land area of only 682.7 km2... Thanks Jobbo!【ツ】
