Moon is a Germanic word, related to the Latin mensis (month). The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite and the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. The Moon makes a complete orbit around the Earth every 27.3 days (the orbital period), and the periodic variations in the geometry of the Earth–Moon–Sun system are responsible for the phases of the moon, which repeat every 29.5 days. The Moon’s diameter is 3,474 kilometres (2,159 mi), a little more than a quarter of that of the Earth. Thus, the Moon’s surface area is less than a tenth that of the Earth (about a quarter the Earth’s land area, approximately as large as Russia, Canada, and the United States combined), and its volume is about 2 percent that of Earth. The pull of gravity at its surface is about 17 percent of that at the Earth’s surface.   -   Wikipedia

Standing at 36m above the ground, this pedestrian bridge is the highest in Singapore. The bridge, which was officially opened on 10th May 2008,  is a connection between Telok Blangah Hill and Mount Faber Park. During the day, visitors will be able to enjoy the harbour view. And from 7pm to 2am, visitors will be able to see the bridge being lit up, and of course the night view..

Month : Nov ‘08                                                           Location : The Singapore Flyer, Singapore

This is also part of my first shootout and one of my first night shoots. The collection is nothing much except for the flyer itself and the little garden inside the flyer. The Singapore Flyer is one of the latest iconic symbol of Singapore and is the world’s largest observation wheel in the world. The flyer is located at Marina Promenade, a walking distance from Esplanade and Marina Square. Tickets are prices at $26.50 for adults and $13 for children. I went on it once during night time. For those who’re afraid of heights, not to worry.. It feels very safe inside, very stable. I’m afraid of heights too so it’s really fine. I just didn’t dare to step to the edge of the capsule.. My one advise though, if you have yet to try this, take a ride when the integrated resort (IR) is ready cos for now, there’s really nothing much to see except for cranes and constuction works… at night I mean.. Not sure about day time..

Month : Nov  ‘08                                                                     Location : Merlion Park, Singapore

This is also part of my first shootout and one of my first night shoots. The collection is nothing much as you can see, just the Merlion itself.. The Merlion is a hybrid of a lion and a fish and is Singapore’s iconic symbol. This iconic statue is placed at the Merlion Park @ One Fullerton, opposite the Esplanade. It was previously moved from its original location, which was at the mouth of Singapore River in 2002. There’s a larger scaled merlion at Sentosa where you can go up to its head or its mouth for a bird’s eye view of the island.
