This weekend (26 Mar 2017) marks the end of the 2017 edition of the i Light Marina Bay festival. I made a few more visits to the festival after the media preview so that I can see and photograph the installations which were either not ready then, or we didn’t have time to cover.

Singapore Night Festival 2016—Part 1
The annual Singapore Night Festival returned last weekend at the Bras Basah precint, with a theme of “Innovation and Invention”.
