Out and About

I was out and about recently. Here are some pictures of the downtown area.

This is the Singapore River with the Marina Bay Sands hotel in the distance.

Some buildings along the river.

Bougainvillea flowers on the ledge of the bridge. When in full bloom, these sugarly coloured flowers are a sight to behold. They are certainly a welcome distraction from all the concrete buildings.

Some buildings in the area.

There is a tiny park in the midst of the busy roads and buildings. I found these here - Costus woodsonii, or Red Button Ginger, or Scarlet Spiral Flag.

They called it the Parkroyal Collection. It houses the Park Royal hotel, and also the Attorney General Chambers

This is one end of the building. It is a very nice and glassy building which has won awards and praise for it energy saving designs.

This is another hotel in the area- the Furama Hotel.
