10-10-2009 esplanade, opera, boat quay

Hello everybody,

i already posted something on these places but not with day light pictures so i thought it would be good to do it now. after a walk at the bukit thima nature reserve ( yes a place i like because it is the second time in 2 week ends that i go there)

Let start by the skyline you have in front of you when you are on esplanade with its famous Merlion

Then comes the opera, this kind of futurist building that some people here call the Durians ( you remember this stincky fruit) 

Then the esplanade bridge and i couldn't resist to show you its by night version the other way round

after a 900 meters walk you arrive in Boat quay with its buildings, its sculptures ( like the bird by Botero)

or those two other ones representing the beginning of the trading between locals and britsh colons

or the jumping boys. i found this reflection of a building in another building funny so here it is, especially for you readers !!!

you can also find the sculpture representinf Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the creator of Singapore. or little piece of nature lost in the middle of a building

a UFO ? no it is what you can see if you were siting at a restaurant on boat quay, an artist drawing the boat quay houses...

and to finish a very colourfull building which is the house of art, sorry i don't remember exactly the name :-( 

 

Hope you liked it

write to you soooooooooooooooooooooon

ciao ciaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
