Massive reclamation at Labrador continues to Aug 09

This is a view of the massive reclamation just off the Labrador jetty (in the foreground).
The photo was taken from the lookout point at the top of the hill at Labrador Nature Reserve during my last field trip there. Other shores near this project include the natural shores of Sentosa and Cyrene Reefs.
