Photographed in the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore during a 2011 trip there. My apologies for the lateness of my posts and comments today.

These parrots were photographed in the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore when we were there in 2011.

The photo taken from Esplanade Drive in Singapore, this is the Artscience Building, known for its resemblance to a lotus flower.

This Merlion, the official mascot of Singapore, stands in Merlion Park along the waterfront. The photo was taken on a 2011 trip to Singapore and Malaysia.

This was photographed in Fort Canning Park in Singapore. We were in Singapore and Malaysia in 2011.

This was taken on a 2011 trip to Singapore and Malaysia. We stayed in the YWCA across from Fort Canning Park and often walked there in the morning. The flower is a Butterfly Pea, Clitoria terneata.

This is the Art Science Museum on the Singapore waterfront. The design of the building is inspired by the lotus flower. This picture was taken on an evening walk along the waterfront when the moon was rising. The photo was handheld (actually the camera was braced on a handrail) since we had been to dinner with friends and I did not have a tripod with me. It was shot at ISO4000, and is a bit grainy, but that was the only way to get the shot.

Photographed at the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore. The Shoebill is a large stork-like bird that is native to tropical east Africa.

Photographed along the Singapore Waterfront at Marina Bay. The picture shows the lotus-shaped entrance building to the Art-Science Museum, the Marina Bay Sands Casino, which was putting on a laser light show at the time this photo was taken, as well as the rising moon. The photo was taken by my wife, who as usual, got better pictures than I did.

These flowers were photographed on a tree in Fort Canning Park, Singapore. Morabeza79 has correctly identified them as Bauhinia kockiana, the Red Trailing Bauhinia. Thanks!

In Explore November 26, 2011, #472. Taken at the Night Safari in Singapore. This incredible nighttime zoo features nocturnal animals and birds and is open only at night. Photography was a real challenge since the lighting is very poor, flash is not allowed, and even though I had a tripod I had to take time exposures to get decent shots, something not always possible when the creatures were moving.

This was taken in the Singapore Botanic Gardens and Kavanaru has identified the bird as the Crimson Sunbird, the national bird of Singapore. The photo was taken by my wife who got better photos of the bird than I did.

Thanks to Fizgig for the ID. It was photographed in Canning Park in Singapore.

Taken at one of the Buddhist temples in Singapore.

This is the Singapore Opera House on the Esplanade in downtown Singapore. It has been named "the Durian" for its shape, so like the "king of fruits," and though often criticized seems to be a building of which the Singaporeans are very proud. We thought it was beautiful. The photo was taken at a high ISO and the camera was handheld and braced on a railing, so it is not as sharp as it could be, nor is it free from "noise" but it was the best I could do under the circumstances, and is a nice reminder of our time in the beautiful island city of Singapore.
