Singapore Botanical Gardens

Hi Guys

Here is a pictorial of this morning's run through Singapore Botanical Gardens. Its a stunningly beautiful garden, designated World Heritage Site and 10 min warm up from my flat. Probably showcases what the Singapore Government does best- create sculpted gardens almost in the old Victorian folly style.

My apologies for some of the photos being hazy but that's low light with high humidity- causes some back scatter on my cellphone.

Running up to the side entrance. This is a fantastic example of good pavement here- about as good as it gets!

Always new construction going on, but don't you think this is the coolest boarding?

Into the gardens...

I love running down the side paths- less people, twisty, breaking your stride so you have to concentrate and feeling of speed...

This cobbled stuff is like a massage!

But this is a sadistic exercise only, grid with notched teeth.

Random Pics...

Swan Lake

The Healing Garden always smells great!

Nice open air concert venue

Saturdays see a large number of older people doing tai-chi, calesnetics stuff and the really old guys clap themselves and hawk like a 60-a-day smoker.

The way-to-common portrait shots. Seriously, it is cray-cray here! The only reason people do anything is so they can get a selfie of them doing something.

Lots of boot camps and yoga classes happen here all the time

My house one day is going to feature this wall....

That's all Folks! 87min, 12.2km run. Nice and gentle with plenty of stops for photos. I did tack on another loop through "Millionaire's Mile" but I can't take photos there. So many Ambassadors and Ministers live there and when you stop too long, a police car drives past!

Well they're certainly not as grand or as spacious as all this, but I'll have to take some photos the next time I go to the SLO Botanical Gardens. They're quite well put-together as far as they've been built (they're relatively new). Was kind of on a mission though, so I have no documentation of the last trip.

Thanks for sharing Jaqa, looks beautiful, but you can keep that grid stuff! OUCH.
