RANDOM SPOTLIGHT: ENTERING THE TWILIGHT ZONE?


This is a digital snapshot of a five way way at the Raffles Hotel annexe along Bras Basah Road.

I had taken the shot because I was fascinated by the apparent illusion of depth when I first saw it. At one point, it seemed endless to me. The image of an imaginary pathway into or through the twilight zone did cross my imaginative mind.

Actually, a "five foot way" ("kaki lima" in Malay, literally translated as "five feet") is a pedestrian walkway indented into the ground floor of a building from the road, so that the overhanging upper floors can provide a cover to shield pedestrians from the natural elements.
