Uniquely Singapore - Part 5

A random walk. An incoherent saunter. Singapore Botanical Garden. Result - Splendour!

A bee had a good day at office -



















Orchids can be fun - I did not know they can be carnivorous as well(Check the pouch-like arrangement) -














And yellow fluttery beauties -










Check out - something yummy was springing to life -












Orchids know their colours, don't they?

An artist's palette

An unfettered imagination.Concoction of colours.And a palette to churn out bliss. The world then becomes your canvas.

Clicked this last year in November. This rainbow coloured portrait by Isaac Montoya layers beneath itself two worlds.The work, which is labelled -Phantoms,portrays different perceptions viewed through different filters.The hidden images(viewed through Red and Blue filters) convey a completely different meaning, from the rainbow coloured image, of perhaps tragedy.

Through the naked eye -









Through the Red Filter -









Through the Blue Filter -










My neighbour, I must admit has her own way of portraying unfettered imagination and colour -

Another early morning excursion along the slopes of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and I stumbled on this beauty. If you look closely you will find the web as well. Okay! Now I have the spider, I also had a shot of the web. Next Challenge - the combination!














A little more saunter along the quarry side and a banded woodpecker would say 'Aloha'!











And guess who was resting in the bushes. I needed a bit of my flash to get this Viper-














And a bit of photographic experimentation as the crowd poured in for New Year Celebrations. A long shutter coupled with a Rear flash and look ma - I spot ghosts -(You can spot Esplanade(Blue lights) in the back ground and a shadow of a mad photographer as well)

A day trip to the Singapore zoo and photography galore.

Rhinos at horns - bloodshed in the process -















Otters in Unison - feeding time -










White Tiger- Sleep time (The white tigers of the zoo were recently involved in an incident which resulted in a death of a zoo cleaner - reasons are still unclear). The three white tigers(1 male and 2 females) owe their genes to Mohan - the founding father of Rewa strain.











The proboscis monkey in a thoughtful mood -

Marina Barrage is a brand new attraction in this island country. A reservoir along the coast. Caught this artist's imagination at the Barrage -














Added a bit of my imagination(if you observe closely you may find me in it). The over-populated world -











This fellow was having jolly time at Labrador Park -









And this beauty took some chasing -

Uniquely Singapore - Part 1

Captured this beauty at the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. It was as curious about the wierd creature behind the lens as I was with it.














Petain Court in Little India is a splendid glance in to the past.












Diwali fever at Little India.

Happy Birthday Singapore!

43rd Birthday of Singapore on 9th August 2008 and it was a blast. The F16s have a way of expressing their love indeed -














And more patterns -











And the flag -









And the sky breaks loose. The following is a picture of burst over a period of 3 Minutes in one snap.










And the after effects - the skyline in smokes!
