Reflections in Chinese Garden


After much deliberation on what to do today we caught the MRT to Chinese Gardens. It is a stunning place to walk around with many places to practice with my camera. I have put a few of the reflections I found into the slide show. While there we had to shelter from a terrific thunderstorm. It appeared to be happening right over us. Lightning strikes were happening gefore the last one had finished and thunder was continuously rolling and clapping.

Opening of Arts Festival - A Fire Garden

Bradley suggested we go down to see a fire display near the Asian Civilisation Museum on Sat night after work. We usually shy away from doing do much on a Sat night as we are up early for work the next morning but we were pleased we made the effort. Compagnie Carabosse are France's leading alchemists, they had set the area alight with many different displays of fire. It was impressive to say the least. Below are a series of pictures from the nights walk.





There were static displays as well as many moving ones. We were so impressed that we went back on the Sunday night for the show, only to be thwarted by rain. We visited the Asian Civilisation Museum for a wander till the rain stopped. Finally we went back outside and saw they had it many of the fire containers but not the moving one. It was a bit of a let down but still an enjoyable evening.
