A Walk Around Town

A friend suggested going out for a walk. So, off I go a wandering about town. I took the opportunity to snap some pictures for my posts. Here are some of them.

This is the South Beach offices and residences.

This is the St Andrew Cathedral

A view of the Marina Sands Casino in the distance.

My friend said to take a picture of the fire hydrant because it looked cute. So, I did. A picture of the front view and one of the back view for good measure.

The business centre district.

This is a cluster of building. It supposedly, resembled the thumb and the four fingers. I am not sure whether it was designed with that intention in mind, or that it turned up this way upon completion. Anyway, I guess from this view, the said image is lost because of the distance and angle it is photographed.

Singapore is a garden city transforming into a city in a garden. So, there are plants and flowers everywhere. Here are just a couple of shots of the commonly seen plant which I know not the name of. These stood out because the bracts - they are bracts, not flowers, are pink in colour which is very rare. They are usually red, bright red or white.

A view of the Marina Bay Sands again. This time from inside a building.

Came upon this scene. It stood out, so I have to snap a picture.

After the walking, we stopped for a rest, and a beer - a German pilsner. I forgot the name of the beer. It has quite a long name.

Spotted this tent on the way. Dinner for two. An initiative by a F&B establishment to entice diners to dine in a different setting during this time of the pandemic. Apparently, all sessions for the weekends are fully booked. I guess it has a novelty value. This is the festive month of December after all, and people like to do something different.

Final shot from the walk. The Capitol theatre. It has been there forever. It was renovated some time ago, and they were able to preserve the building. A part of Singapore's history. Unfortunately, this wasn't a very good shot.
