Supertree Grove

Gardens of the Bay is a must see in Singapore. Especially in the evening, there is every night a lightshow in those supertrees. Very impressive.

Glowing in the distance, mysterious structures loomed. Curiosity got the better of me, as I cut through the dense palm forest. It was a cloudless night, the moon was high in the sky, providing just enough light for me to follow a small path. Blood thirsty mosquitoes were also out in numbers, attacking every part of my body that was not covered.

As I got closer and closer, it became apparent to me how huge these structures were. Some were as tall as 50 metres, towering over the palm trees surrounding them. "What are their purpose? Who constructed them?", were the question I had in my head. Images of 'Night-Elves' from WOW came into my mind. I must be going crazy! The forest thinned out and a clearing appeared just at the base of one of the towers. I approached it with caution and looked up. This was what I saw: www.flickr.com/photos/jcheaphotography/7861652614/sizes/k...

Above was my feeble attempt to add a little adventure into my life. Do not worry! Accessing to the supertrees grove is very easy, it does not require you to cut through some forest and there are well lit concrete paths to follow. The mosquito part is quite true though! You could even enjoy the view from the OCBC skyway for a fee of 5 SGD. There is also a light show every night, which I find quite disappointing due to the lack of special effects or great lighting.
