Random Singapore Photos

Posted on 14th March, 2013

Here are some random photos of Singapore we have taken over the last few years. We really need to get out with the camera more as we don't really have enough of a selection.

 

Singapore by night

 

 Marina Bay and Kallang river area. The Singapore flyer on the left, Marina Bay Sands in the middle and the Central Business District on the right

 

 

 

Cavenagh Bridge

 

We have lived here for a little while now and neither of us have ever seen a cow on the island, let alone in the CBD. If you were taking your cow for a walk though, it wouldn't be too much hassle as there is a bridge less than 100m to the right which does allow cows and horses! 

 

 

 

Old Hill Street Police Station building

 

Old Hill Street Police Station building. It originally housed the first jail in Singapore, now houses lots of art for sale.

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Chinatown

 

A slightly unusual view of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Chinatown 

 

 

 

Incense

 

 Incense burning at the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple

 

 

 

 

Chinese lanterns

 

He's just kicking back and chilling, shoes off and watching the lanterns blow in the wind!

 

 

 

 

Fire

 

 It was a little chilly this day, about 30 degrees I think, so they needed a fire to keep warm. They were just about to break out the chili and jacket spuds, hot chocolate and marshmallows!

 

 

 

 

Chinatown shops

 

 Old colourful shop houses in Chinatown

 

 

 

 

Knockers

 

Knockers on the doors to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. The doors are copies from the massive ones on the Forbidden City in Beijing

 

 

 

 

Tree top walk

 

 The one way bridge in the middle of the tree top walk at MacRitchie Reservoir. One way wouldn't normally be a problem but this is in the middle of a 6km round trip!

 

 

 

 

Gardens by the bay

Gardens by the bay conservatory

 

 One of the massive conservatories at Gardens by the Bay. Like the Eden Project but rather than heating to make them tropical, they cool them to make then alpine.

 

 

Marina bay sands

Sentosa island

 

 Fountains on Sentosa Island. Look similar to Gaudi's Parc Guell in Barcelona but nowhere near as impressive

 

 

 

 

Singapore flyer GP

 

 We took this while on the Singapore Flyer during the 2009 Grand Prix. Hamilton won if you were interested

 

 

 

 

Balloon lady

 

Taken in the Botanic Gardens. Not sure where this lady was going but she was lucky she didn't take off!

 

 

 

 

100 year Titanic memorial

 

Taken at the lotus flower museum during the 100th anniversary exhibition of Titanic Leaving port.

 

 

 

 

Street lights

 

 A random lamp post, but I like the sky
