A typical street scence at Orchard Road during Christmas (2007). Look at the number of pedestrians on the right! I like this shot as the ERP gantry was just after the Christmas decoration gantry.

View of Marriott Hotel from a distance during the Christmas period in 2007. The Marriott Hotel was previously known as Dynasty Hotel which I preferred and think sounds better.
