Gardens by the Bay

If you like pictures of flowers there are plenty here. I'm not a botanist though so I can't name them for you. The Gardens by the Bay in Singapore include two bio-domes one that is a rainforest type environment, the other features gardens from around the world.

This looks like a fantastic pool on the top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel. It's only for residents though and we weren't staying there.

An interesting choice of subject for a sculpture.
Super Trees

I didn't have a clue what these things were supposed to be when I took this picture. We found out later that they are man-made trees that provide a very valuable service for the Gardens by the Bay facility. Apart from looking really cool they also collect energy from the sun and rainwater for the gardens.

The top structure on the Marina Bay Sands is built to look like a ship. I think any ship that's curved like that could probably only sail in circles.

This water lily was not in the Gardens by the Bay but was in a fountain outside of the science museum.

I don't know what the structure is behind Lesa but it looked cool so I took a picture of it. It's somewhere down near Orchard Road.

Before you start thinking this is rude, that's actually a prawn that came with Lisa's meal. She's holding it by the tail. That was just one of several very nice meals we had down on Clarke Quay.

This is the inside of an Indian restaurant in Singapore. I can't remember the name of it and it's not in Little India but it was very pleasant.
