Marina Bay Sands – Singapore

This is quite a building! They only finished constructing it in 2010 but already it seems to be quite an icon for Signapore, which just maybe was the idea when it was built. I have heard it described as a (cricket) wicket, which accurately summarises the basic shape of the structure, but somehow misses out on the sheer scale and elegance of the edifice.

This picture was drawn on a drawing app, using a variety of tools including a very feisty “airbrush” – the sombre mood and the monochrome approach dictated by the fact that the photos that I took during our visit showed a very menacing tropical storm looming over the Garden City. As I wrote above, this is quite a building – I hope I have done it justice!
