Fort Canning revisited and a short stay

I waited for the fellow to walk further to lend a scale to the traveler's palm and staircase. 

The light house and the autumn looking foliage.
Nice figs.

This is terap Artocarpus elasticus. This time i can reach the fruit using my x50 optical zoom and hugged the lamp post as a giant monopod.   I recalled in past years i brought back a fruit and sectioned only to find it was sterilized and could not form any seeds inside.

Have to look up what this is being called. My version is Dr WHo disappearing / teleporting  chamber....

Now i  saw a tree house up there. My guess is the Horn-bill Project. Didn't see any occupant though....

Coming to the Fort Canning Park from Funan side I notice this pretty wild fowl perching on a tree branch. 
This little fellow - Asian brown flyeater was making a loud two syllable note.  
The fort - wide enough for a car to drive through. A side door on the inner left allow you to to the top
A police car was seen patrolling the trails  - my first time encounter in this park. Immigrant workers were seen  enjoying themselves picnicking gathering singing etc. There was even a dance fighting going on.  Little Indian rioting last week was still fresh in everyone's mind.  There are still places for photo shoot i didn't cover in this short trip.One day i will return.
Armenian church - from across the street i noticed something was sitting there. But the profile was  just too thin..  I walked up and saw a angel statue instead.

This is not from Fort Canning but from Yishun. Was heavy downpour on the saturday and this lone Collared KF taking a break.
