Here are a few of my photos that I hope demonstrate a little of the sheer beauty of this modern city.

| A view of the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest in the Gardens by the Bay. I took this from the Sands Skypark Observation Deck. |
 |
| Another view from the Skypark Observation Deck that shows the sports facilities That's a floating playing field with the stadium. |
 |
| Here's the swimming pool which is on the 58th Floor of the Marina Bay Sands (three towers with this deck on top), |
 |
| I am on the observation deck with the skyline of the business center in the background. |
 |
| This is part of the Gardens by the Bay complex. There are two domed buildings: Flower Dome & the Cloud Forest. |
 |
| Inside the Flower Dome. |
 |
| The Flower Dome opened last year at great expense. It's so cool with maintaining a Mediterranean climate. |
 |
| Trees of every variety are contained in the Flower Dome. |
 |
| People of Chinese descent make up about 75% of the population. They are celebrating the Chinese New Year which is the year of sheep/goat. |
 |
| A view of the walkways in the Cloud Forest: You have three levels: plant level, treetop level, and cloud level to observe the plantings and trees. |
 |
| I am at the Raffles Long Bar waiting on my Singapore Sling (a drink that originated at this hotel). |
 |
| The exterior of the Raffles Hotel. It's an enormous hotel, restaurant, and shopping complex. |
 |
| The "merlion" is the symbol of Singapore. It's on the Singapore River. |
 |
| This is the Marina Bay Sands complex. That "boat" on top houses the pool and observation deck. I think it kind of looks like a surfboard more than a boat. |
 |
| We went to the City Gallery which is devoted to the planned development of Singapore. |
