Sunset from Top of the M, Singapore

It was around 6.50pm when I reached the revolving restaurant, Top of the M at the 39th Floor of the Meritius Mandarin, Singapore and saw this awesome sight. The surrounding Singapore landscape was bathed in golden light from the setting sun. It was breathtaking. Luckily I had my camera with me and started taking lots of photos. The sun started dipping down the horizon around 7.15pm which by then my dinner had started. It was a wonderful prelude to a delicious Italian dinner at this lovely place.
