Amazing yet sad. Amazing in terms of the photographic shot. Sad in terms of the light pollution.

You are welcome bharat. I saw it on StraitsTimes first at the toa payoh library while catching up with the news for the past week when I was away. Then google it when I am back home. Reported on CNN channel also.
