Beautiful Tulips. |
The beauty of Singapore is that though it is a small place
with limited resources but it has unlimited planning and execution will. It is
called a Tiny Red dot on the World map but if you happen to visit the place
there are plenty of ‘must-see’ locations here. One of them is the Garden’s By
The Bay.
It is built on a 100 hectare of reclaimed land to transform
Singapore from ‘Garden City’ to ‘City in a Garden’. International competition
was held back in 2006 to design the master plan. Today it boasts beautiful
themed Horticulture, two conservatories - Flower Dome and Cloud Forest and
Supertrees Groves. The place is considered as an outing place for urban social
class. Various initiatives are taken round the year to keep the entertainment and
fun quotient high for the local people. One such even is the Tulipmania started
in the year 2013.
We happen to visit it this year and it was a delight to see
so many Tulips of different colours and species under one roof flown directly
from Netherlands. Miniatures of Netherland, Tulips gardens, Windmills, houses
in Netherlands where for show and was quite a refreshing one.
It was certainly a delight for photographers for exploring
different camera modes and lenses and projections. To our surprise, there was
queue of roughly 20 minutes inside the dome to view the tulip arrangements but
it was worth the wait. If you are planning to go there next, try a weekday!
Here are some of the pics that I took during our visit:
