The Dancing Sky by Studio Festi @ National Museum / SMU campus

It rained briefly in the North. I checked the NEA's rain radar - downtown was OK. I headed south and the crowd was already there.
Puteri-puteri waiting for their turns.. 3 metre high gowns standing tall.

The Dome-shaped museum backdrop and
the glowing globe frame this dancer nicely.

Static Image projected onto a curtain of water sprays ..
a few rain-averted audience brought out umbrellas
unknowing blocking the image formation!
A splashing entry ...
Crowds were entertained flying dancers ...
I wished i had brought a zoom lens and would have stayed for the 11:30pm that night.

Hort Park & Canopy walk Kent Ridge

(IMHO) The labellings style of this map needs improvement.

U-loops
Like in any open field - short-cuts ( not necessary the shortest path) soon developed.

Ficus grossularioides - 'goosberries like' - note the various leaf form

The mature vines and the young greener one below. ( ID found June 07 09 - its Petawali or Tinospora crispa )

Typical vegetation like tuip-tuip, pitcher plant, simpoy air figs, rubber trees, a climber with slender leaf but strong spiky menacing looking vine.

Instead of waiting for visitors to move away so i can have a direct frontal shot, i decided to move to the side and include this 'fruit' as well. 'Wires' were actually used to hold ( or prevent unlawful pilferage of the fruit.

'The Living Walls' - Next time all concrete wall will be replaced with the plant-friendly version.

Kapok ( Ceiba pentandra) - seed pod - revealing the familiar traditional pillow's stuffing - 'cotton inside'

Flower of ornamental grass - close up view

Figs(F.aurantiacea) with dotted skinChain of Love ( Antigonon leptopus)- a sun lover- sprawling all over a fence ...
Took me one hour to take 963 from interchange to here and another hr back.
I skipped most of the Hort Park plants
and came here to check
out the canopy walk. Reflections at Bukit Chandu ( Opium Hill)

Henderson Waves, Forest Walk and Alexandra Arch

HarbourFront MRT > EXIT 'D' > Walk up trail to Mt Faber > Henderson Waves > Forest Walk ( TTW like but this one is much longer easier and no vertical steps .. ) Will leave the canopy walk to some other time.

On the bridge i looked at waves after waves of tiny white furry 'air-borne' pulai seeds flying through the air.

the orange fruits of woody climber Fibraurea tinctoria caught my attention
I spotted the passion fruit petals among the green leaves and vine of Fibraurea tinctoria.
A close-up of the Passiflora laurifolia flower is shown above
Simpoh , Dillenia suffruticosa common flowers
