Clementi Railway

"You’re waiting for a train,
a train that will take you far away.
You know where you hope this train will take you,
but you don’t know for sure.
But it doesn’t matter, because we’ll be together."


King and I went to track down the Sunset way railway track today. Or rather, King tracked it down on Google Maps and we made our way down today.

The grass has grown all over the tracks and at first we were a little unsure where the track is when we reached there. My legs were scratched all over by the lalang, which was very irritating indeed.

The old track has been abandoned and overgrown with grass.

You have no idea how scary this bridge is until you walk on it!!! It's quite a high drop if you miss a footing, and believe me, you really don't want to miss a footing. My last words to Kingston were: "If I die.... Please help me return all my equipment!!!"

I want to die!

A very cute looking Kingston shot with the lensbaby.



Half the time there I was very scared of dropping off the bridge... I swear it felt like the longest 100m in my life. And although we went there for the bridge, my favourite shot was the first one of the leaf and the water droplets.

And I wouldn't recommend this location to any of you guys for a photo excursion. It's really dangerous.
