Here's a description of the image:

The image presents a vintage, hand-colored photograph of what appears to be Kampong Bahru in Singapore. The foreground is dominated by a grassy bank, framed on both sides by lush green foliage, with trees partially obscuring the edges of the scene.

The central focus is a lagoon or body of water where traditional stilt houses, with thatched roofs, are built. These houses are linked by walkways or bridges over the water. Several small boats are visible, adding to the scene of daily life.

In the background, on the opposite side of the water, there are more buildings and structures, including a line of buildings and several ships and boats, and the sky is a pale blue with a hint of clouds.

The photograph has an overall warm tone, suggesting sunlight. The text "Singapore. Scene in Kampong Bahru" is written beneath the image, providing context.
