22 January 2024 Singapore: The Super-Tree Grove

 


The Super-Tree Grove is a series of large structures that simulate trees.  There si a walkway between six of the trees and the center tree has a huge observatory on the top.  The line for the path was an hour long as they only allow 20 people up there at a time.  So we passed that up due to the limited light.  Instead we walked around the grove and further into the gardens.  



Looking cool in silhouette 


Here is the walkway


There must be 20 of these trees scattered about


Super!


An artificial tree in with real trees


The ziggedy zag of the trees


The dragon and the walkway


The internal structure of the dragon is visible in the opened portion


The dragon goes on and on


The Marina Bay Sands is off in the distance


Dragon leg, yummy


More legs


The light us fading


The size of the people show how large the trees are


The walkway is suspended by cables so that is why fewer people at a time were allowed


Catching the last light


Almost back


Looking back to the trees


The setting sun is reflected in Leslie's glasses


Massive!

Heading back to the Hawker Center we passed the canals


This is a fountain and the water swirls in the top dome and then pours out of it
