The rising Sun lights up the clouds above the Singapore Island country Club golf course, reflected in the waters of the Lower Pierce Reservoir.
This is another of the shots I took on my expedition in the dark to the Lower Pierce on the 5th of the 5th. The other side of the lake is a golf course, some of which, as you can see on the right of this photo, is still quite densely forested.

The (painful*) day I went to the Lower Pierce Reservoir for Dawn shots, there were a couple of people fishing. All the people doing Tai Chi are behind me (with chanting, fans & swords!). The low rays of the still rising Sun were lighting up the jungle around the water with a beautiful orange glow.
* Read why it was painful here!

On my way to take dawn shots at the Lower Pierce Reservoir, I walked through Bishan Park, in the dark. One of the lakes looked so peaceful, I had to stop & take some shots.
I actually slipped down a path whilst carrying the camera on the tripod just after this, (it was still dark) and grazed my knee badly, but I didn't drop the camera! When i got to the Reservoir, and the Sun was up, a number of the "Tai Chi" people there offered "plasters", as I had blood running down my leg! My answer, " Thanks, but photos first, then I will clean it up!" ;-)
UPDATE 24th May Thanks for the comments on my knee. It is fine now - No permanent damage! Look in the comments for more details- if you dare!
This is a 3 exp HDR - long exposures at that!

This is for "24 hours of Flickr", and represents my day on the 5th of the 5th.
I was up before dawn, and walked to the Lower Pierce Reservoir for some dawn light shots and still air. When I arrived at dawn, there were about a hundred people there doing Tai Chi, facing the water! I could not get the shots I had planned without them in the frame. It was disappointing, but I managed to get some good shots of them, here is one.
I think this one represents the scene & the feel.

The setting Sun illuminates the bridge to the intake, in the Lower Pierce Reservoir in Singapore.
The orange glow & the reflection off the metal on the side made an interesting view. This reservoir was built in 1912.
