This month's photo: Degrees

I'm on time!!!
Right time, Right day, it's This month's photo!

The theme today is degrees, lots of double meanings, possibly more in French than in English.
My photo is actually a mix of my idea and R's photo (I haven't made it back home yet).

I could leave it to you to figure out what it is, where it is but it could take a long time...
So, here is the photo and the explanation is below!


Location: Changi airport, Singapore
Story: Since the first day I have arrived in Singapore, I have been very impressed that every gate has its exact coordinates written below the gate number.
B2
N 1'
E 103'
That's the reason why I know that Singapore is in the Northern hemisphere!

Photo: R took the photo on his trip back post Christmas, as he arrived very early in the morning, it was still dark and it created a weird photo with lots of reflection, people, TV screens, a van, lots of lights, but somehow degrees take the centre stage!

  1. With google translation I have understood the explanation of this photo. It's the outside what it's important about the degree of looking in the stage ?

  2. Je devrais effectivement faire un effort pour traduire!
    Lieu: Aeroport de Changi, Singapour
    Histoire: Depuis mmon premier jour a Singapour, j'admire la precision des portes d'embarquement qui en plus d'indiquer lettre et chiffre donne les exactes coordonees latitude et longitude.
    B2
    N 1'
    E 103'
    C'est grace a ca que je sais que Singapour est dans l'hemisphere nord!

    Photo: R a pris cette photo au retour des vacances de Noel, au petit matin quand le jour se levait. Les reflets ont crees cette photo etrange avec des gens, des ecrans de tele, un minibus, des lumieres, mais d'une facon etrange, le paneau indiquants les degres reste au centre de l'image!

  3. Je vous conseille de cliquer sur la photo histoire de mieux voir les degres parceque j'avoue que c'est un peu petit...

  7. Great shot! It does show movement and, somehow, that it's early morning (or in the middle of the night). :)

  8. Why do they do this? I mean, is it just for fun or is there a reason why people need to have this information about every single gate? It's so odd :)

  9. Avec la traduction, j'ai un peu de mal :-(

  11. To answer Dr CaSo's question, I'm really not sure why they do that...
    And even google does not seem to have any answer to this question!

  13. J'aime bien ta photo, des souvenirs me reviennent de l'aéroport de Singapour, lorsque j'y suis allée voilà déjà quelques années. Mon filleul y vit définitivement puisque maintenant il est marié et a deux enfants. Je te remercie de m'avoir remémoré des souvenirs émouvants pour moi.

  14. Original et instructif.
    J'aime la multiplicité des formes lumineuses et les multiples effets de transparence.
