Just recently I visited Punggol, rented a bike, and cycled along the water (it's called a waterway for a reason). The place is really tranquil, likely because the town's not highly populated at this time, and in the area you see lots of new developments rising up (and thus a lot of cranes). What I like about Punggol is how everything is well designed and integrated - exactly because it's a new town. What's particularly cool is that there's a sunrise bridge and a sunset bridge, apparently at two ends of the river flowing through the town, facing the respective directions for sunrise and sunset.

Here's a shot of the sunset from sunset bridge. It's a semi-long exposure to smoothen the water and amplify the orange glow. Issue on that day was that there was a strong overcast so the sun could not be seen setting, not even the glow. But the shots were taken anyway, because post-processing may help us see more.
So with some delicate curve adjustments here's what I got as a result. The blue may be a bit too strong for my liking, but the effect and the contrast speaks a lot. And key point: the glow is visible, and that was the goal.
Essentially, if clouds decide to block the sun, you force the sun out of it.
