Description Not a real durian, of course. It's actually Esplanade, which is located in City Hall area, Singapore. If you're wondering what a durian is, it's a fruit with spikes around its body... and of course its smell is awful! (okay, for me it smells terrible ). My parents love eating durians... don't know why.

This is the same building which I took "Runaway" [link] Just that this one is taken from outside. I like the orangey colour on the spikes... Esplanade looks pretty dull at around noon Well, enjoy!

PS Work: Contrast

This reminds me a lot of the Epcot center in Disney land. They had a big ball shaped building like this one

It's so smooth it almost looks like it is vector work

love the composition and the strong color-tones. It really does look like a fractal, which makes the fact that it's a picture even better ^_^.
