The Port of Singapore refers to the collective facilities and terminals that conduct maritime trade handling functions in Singapore’s harbours and which handle Singapore’s shipping.

Currently the world’s busiest port in terms of total shipping tonnage, it also handles a quarter of the world’s shipping containers as the world’s busiest container port.

Took this pic yesterday with the port in the background and with the busy construction of the Marina Financial Districts in the foreground.

The Singapore Zoo is acclaimed as one of the world’s most spectacular zoos. Great family outing for both locals & foreign tourists with lots of things to do and see.

The zoo is a model of the ‘open zoo’ concept. The animals are kept in spacious, landscaped enclosures, separated from the visitors by either dry or wet moats. It is located on the west part of Singapore known as Mandai and occupies 28 hectares (0.28 km²) of land.

Will be posting a series on Singapore Zoo pics. Enjoy!
