January 24th was our big day in Singapore: Gardens by the Bay, the Skypark, and New Year's Eve in Chinatown. This will require several posts.
|
Even in the Garden complex, it's nearly always in view, and always the object of
attention |
|
Sculpture, large and small, and in every medium, everywhere |
|
Passing through a clump of SuperTrees |
|
It's a huge place; would take days to see it all; our interests were the Cloud Forest
and the Flower Dome, two of the largest of the world's garden glass houses |
|
Did not see the Chinese Garden, the Japanese Garden, the
floating egg thingies (next day), etc... |
|
Helpful depiction showing our main interests: the Flower Dome, the Cloud
Forest, and the Super Trees |
|
In the Cloud Forest, which is organized around this artificial
mountain, complete with tall waterfall |
|
Helpful map |
|
In addition to the plants, impressive sculpture everywhere |
|
Basically, you take an elevator to the top, then walk and gawk
your way down on these ramps |
|
Orchid district |
|
Likes orchids |
|
In the large carnivorous plants district, tubular carnivore
sculptures made out of Legos (pitcher plants?) |
|
Ramp scene |
|
Occasional glimpses of the city |
|
Mineral displays, too (Rebecca) |
|
Jungle scene |

Amazing bench/fish sculpture; amazing place |
