Tulipmania @ Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay.
It's hot and humid outside, but inside the Flower Dome, it's cool and dry.
The added bonus is that it's the time for Tulipmania, but it ends tomorrow.
(Viewing on a retina display? This photo will look clearer if you click on the photo and view it in Flickr)
It was an outing day for us today and the whole family went to admire the Tulips.
The flowers are so intriguing, that there's no one bored around!
The smell of the flowers are so nice too!

Flower Dome, Gardens By The Bay
The 2 glass structures at Gardens by the Bay.
One is called Flower Dome, the other Cloud Forest.
Beautiful isn't it? If you are bored in Singapore, feeling warm too, go visit the 2 glass structures. They are air-conditioned and replicate the weather in moderate temperature countries. Enjoy the plants inside!

Supertrees
How many SuperTrees are there?
If you are curious, do an online search.
If you are bored in Singapore, you can go take a walk at the Gardens too.
It's quite therapeutic on days which have nice weather and even on hot days.
On cool days, it's a nice easy walk. On hot days, wear the cool climate tees and sweat it out!

Bifurcate Totems, Gardens by the Bay
Totems inside the Domes at Gardens by The Bay.
Do you find totems scary?
I think when I was growing up, watching too much cartoons made me feel scared about it.
I wondered, what gave the craftsman ideas on how to carve them?
I guess it's a huge study.
Maybe I will read it up when I am free some day! Probably when I retire.

If you are like me, wondering what Bifurcate means, wikipedia says this:
Bifurcation means the splitting of a main body into two parts.

Colonial Horse, Gardens by the Bay
Stop horsing around.
It might just be a trojan horse, do you think so?
No sculptor's name. The stone feel is very nice though.
Seen at Gardens by the Bay.

PLANET - the floating white baby
Everyone has been taking photo of this floating white baby in Singapore.
I asked a friend where she took it from and she said the gardens.
Though there are many gardens in Singapore, there's now only 1 Garden that everyone knows, probably the world world knows about it too.
If you are at Gardens by the Bay, you can see this sculpture titled: PLANET.
A white painted bronze, stainless steel sculpture of a baby boy.
Sculptor is Marc Quinn.
If you can't see what's on the 2nd photo, here it is:
Beautifully balanced on a languid arm of a sleeping boy child, this six ton, 383cm by 353 cm by 926 cm bronze cast sculpture floats like a heavenly body above a verdant earth. Renowned sculptor Marc Quinn (b. 1964) created this work in a depiction of his infant son, Lucas. Quinn deploys an assortment of materials and techniques to explore nature under human influence in themes that include the changing human body and the dual meanings of human life, between spiritual and physical, surface and depth, cerebral and sexual. This piece is the second of three editions, and is gifted for permanent display in the Gardens by the Bay.
A friend from the other part of the world says she has seen this in Monte Carlo. Have you seen the 3rd one in your part of the world?

Supertrees....
Another view of the SuperTrees during the weekend....
The Supertrees are not growing bigger or taller, but the real plants around are.

Gardens By The Bay Night View
A friend was visiting Singapore and we met her at her hotel.
Such a magnificent view of the Gardens by The Bay.
Those are the SuperTrees!
The Domes!
Anyone been to both the Gardens by the Bay domes and also the Eden Project in UK?
Which is more interesting?

Supertrees
I was recently as the Gardens by the Bay (again.)
Everyone never fails to whip out their camera or even phone cameras to take a photo or two of these magnificent trees.
There are probably the only trees in the garden that won't grow any taller!
But they will grow side ways (because of the plants).
Just like humans when they reach a certain age.
haha!

Red Ring...
The Singapore Flyer as seen from the waters beside Gardens by the Bay.
It has been raining in the afternoon and having night stroll at the Gardens by the Bay is quite cooling.
There have been quite a few dining places that has opened and it's a nice place to dine and then have a nice stroll after...

Wooden Elephants...
Elephants, wooden ones as seen at the beautiful Gardens by the Bay in Singapore.
Reminds me of the real huge ones at the Singapore Night Safari that I visited a few weeks ago.
There are quite a few things to do in Singapore, it's not that boring as people say it is...

Flyer, Supertrees and the Flower Dome
Too bad it was a gloomy day, it was raining and I was out.
We were crossing the DragonFly Bridge that links Gardens by the Bay to Marina Bay Sands and saw this. The Singapore Flyer, 3 of the many Supertrees and the Flower Dome.
Probably the most interesting place that I saw over the weekend was the Flower Dome.
My brother told me that the Flower Dome and the one next to it have the world's longest span single length braces.
I think there should be some National Geographic or Discovery Channel show about how it was built probably? Can't wait to watch it if there is one.

Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay
Was at the last day of the preview of Gardens by the Bay and it was awesome!
Yes, there were insane crowds. Did not know that there are so many nature lovers in Singapore. Everyone's going to the Gardens!
These are the SuperTrees at Gardens by the Bay.
They are 25-50 metres tall, which is like 9-16 storeys tall.
Beautiful isn't it?
Google / Yahoo / Bing around the net to find out more about them.
