Old and new come together inside Singapore's Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall. A modern glass-roofed atrium now connects the two historic buildings, offering this unusual view of the clock tower above.
The 54-meter-high tower dates from 1905 and was built to connect the old Town Hall, today's Victoria Theatre, with the new Victoria Memorial Hall, now Victoria Concert Hall. Its clock and bells followed a year later.
The old architecture, modern glass roof and clock tower make for an interesting mix. The single person walking through the entrance below was a welcome addition, giving a real sense of the building's scale.

Two runners make their way along the Singapore River towards the financial district. Almost hidden among the modern towers is the Fullerton Hotel. Opened in 1928, the building was once Singapore’s General Post Office, strategically located beside the harbour so that mail could be transferred efficiently between the post office and ships. Today, the former post office stands surrounded by the skyscrapers of modern Singapore.

Seen from Duinbergen, late sunlight breaks through the storm clouds above Zeebrugge. For a few minutes, the light reaches across the harbour, the beach and the marina before disappearing again behind the clouds.

​MMA training involves much more than sparring. It requires stamina, strength, coordination, and concentration. These three photographs follow one athlete through different stages of his training: warming up with the skipping rope, working on the mat, and taking a brief moment to recover.

A conversation without words — reading movement, testing reactions, and responding in a fraction of a second. In sparring, every gesture becomes both a question and an answer.

Dark clouds gathered above the Belgian coast while the last sunlight still reached the beach at Duinbergen. For a few minutes, the rows of white beach cabins and the wet sand were caught in warm light.

The 2026 International Fireworks Festival took place over five evenings on the beach in Knokke-Heist. Teams from Finland, Spain, Canada and Germany each presented a fireworks show synchronized with music. The festival ended with this closing show by the Belgian company HC Pyrotechnics. Germany’s Pyrogenie was named the winner, while Canada’s FiredUp Pyrotechnics received the audience award.
