Singapore is situated on major international air routes, especially between Asia, Europe, and Australia. So, it's quite common to see contrails ("condensation trails") from high-flying aircraft even if you don't hear or see the plane clearly.
When airplanes fly at high altitudes, their jet engines emit hot water vapor as part of the exhaust. At cruising altitude where the air is very cold, the water vapor condenses and freezes into tiny ice crystals. These ice crystals, in turn, reflect sunlight, thereby making the trail look like a thin, white cloud.
The next feature is the Singapore Land Tower which is a prominent skyscraper located in the heart of Singapore’s central business district (CBD) standing at 190 metres (623 feet) since its completion in 1980.
Currently, it has undergone an Asset Enhancement Initiative around the theme of “Sustainable, Next‑Generation Workplace Transformation” — balancing landmark preservation with modern, green, and community-focused enhancements.
Noticeably, its new high-performance glass facade which features low‑emissivity double-glazing to reduce solar heat gain and improve energy efficiency also reflect aspects of its environment like a mirror by day and night.
