Singapore Chingay Parade 2010

This photo was taken just before the procession of the yearly “Chingay Street Parade” at the Woodlands town in Singapore. Here’s a group of Indian performers from the local community showcasing their culture and arts performance through an explosion of colours and most of all, joyous noise of drums and voices.

The Singapore landmark by ming-”Esplanade”.

Esplanade

This is a landmark in Singapore and it is called ‘Esplanade‘. This waterside building located on six hectares of waterfront land alongside Marina Bay near the mouth of the Singapore River is purposely built to be the centre for performing arts for the island nation. The ‘Theatres on the Bay’ contains a 1,600 seat concert hall and a 2,000 seat theatre for the performing arts.

Singapore “Double-Helix” bridge

The bridge (in the foreground of the Singapore flyer) will link the Bayfront area to Marina Centre, completing a walking route that brings visitors to the major attractions around the bay including the Esplanade and the future Integrated Resort and Singapore Flyer. The new 280metre-long bridge is envisaged to be a destination point for all visitors to Marina Bay – a place for them to enjoy and catch a panoramic view of the Singapore city skyline.

The unique ‘double-helix’ structure, a world’s first in architectural and engineering bridge design.
