Of Glowing Trees...

After this weekend I can check another Singaporean must-see of my list: Gardens by the Bay. They are located behind the Marina Bay Sands and, just like the building, they are pretty stunning:

The big structures are artificial trees that are not only decorative, but also collect solar energy and help to reduce the humidity inside the conservatories. As if this was not enough one of them has a bar on top of it and the rest serve as pilars for a hanging bridge, that looks like this:


The views from the bridge are not too bad either...


The best part is how they use the energy obtained from the sunlight:


The trees are illuminated and the whole park turns into a scenario that reminds me of the movie Avatar.


Of course the lights change colors and sparkly dots crawl up the trunk and spread among the branches. More pictures to come!
