Sea almond with its red leaves... autumn comes to Singapore? Neh...

Jetty and lazy cats

Jostling with each other to push upwards 

TO give you an idea the size these mushrooms

Sembawang Hot Spring

Suphur smell in the air and the relatively steaming hot water. So the years I stayed in Yishun i have not ventured here before.

- 3rd visits the last one went back to get some early am picture of the steam not visible during the noon hour shot before.

The above map indicated the short distance walk from Block 106 to the Sembawang Hot Spring.

The entrance - ' camouflage' by the army camp type of warning sign post. It was a quiet working day noon time with only one guy there.

Some one hung a mirror there. I used the reflection to show the nearest hot spring water collection point. 

A large well inside this brick building. To get this view i climbed up the window and peep through the top ends

2192 Solar Big sunspot

Several solar disk images from FB showing the  partial eclipse from USA and the big sunspot piqued my interest to have a look here too. . Using low elevation clouds as filter i shot the following using the SX50HS handheld or using tree/ lamp post  as mono-pod. 

24 Oct 2014.. caught me by surprise and managed to have one shot of the solar disk in cloud showing the #2192 spot

The second day went to Mt Faber for a walk and get the disk in the setting sun. Several pple came along taking pic with their hand-phones. 

The highest pedestrian walkway (>34m)  in Singapore

Didn't  know the Henderson Wave  is so pretty at night. My first night visit 

The shadow and the light bands ...

Comfortly shaped for many to lean on and texting away?.

Bright sodium lights from the street spill over. They can be seen even in the air.
