1 Degree North of theb Equator - CITYSCAPE

SINGAPORE 


The 2018 movie #CrazyRichAsians featured this plaza (shown below) in the scene of the wedding reception festivities.

Gardens by the Bay

DAYTIME
Singapore calls itself a Garden City. Roadways and streets are lined with trees and shrubs, regularly pruned and trimmed. Plants and gardens appear on building rooftops.
Queensway - typical look of all Singapore roads 

Modern buildings have edgy asymmetrical shapes, including curved surfaces.

My favorite of all the modern buildings I saw are the curved knife-shaped condominium buildings (shown below). Upon closer look, I saw a  grove of trees growing on top of each building.

NIGHTTIME
In contrast, city lights dazzle at night.

This picture is taken at the Supertree Grove. Here, twice nightly, there is a light show.

The colors of the lights change with synchronized music, pumped by audio speakers built into the Supertrees.
Super bright
