Flower Dome and Cloud Forest Dome in the Gardens by the Bay.

A post shared by Tom Yeager (@warriortogypsy) on Nov 20, 2017 at 1:31pm PST

The Flower Dome is one of the largest glass greenhouses in the world. I was amazed by the changing display of flowers and plants from the Mediterranean and semi-arid regions.

Thanks to air-conditioning and a refreshing waterfall, temperatures inside the Cloud Forest Dome replicate the moist and damp conditions found on tropical mountains ranging from 3.000 to 9,000 feet above sea level. Flowers and tropical vegetation can be seen at different altitudes on a full-scale mountain.

The Dragonfly and Kingfisher Lakes are a rich source of aquatic life from fish to plants.

A post shared by Tom Yeager (@warriortogypsy) on Nov 20, 2017 at 2:15pm PST

The plants play an important role in maintaining the right amount of nutrients in the lake by absorbing excess nitrogen and phosphorus. These plants ensure better water quality by acting as a natural eco-filter and aquatic reeds also act as filter beds

Thanks to Ersha for being my guide and showing me the sights and sounds of Singapore.

EXHIBITIONS AT THE ARTSCIENCEMUSEUM

Journey to Infinity: Escher’s World of Wonder

An exhibit showing the works of M. C. Escher who is one of the world’s most famous graphic artists

Exhibit at the Journey to Infinity: Escher’s World of Wonder showcases the works of M. C. Escher, one of the world’s most famous graphic artists.

A post shared by Tom Yeager (@warriortogypsy) on Nov 20, 2017 at 2:18pm PST

Featuring over 150 original works, the exhibition is a retrospective of his sketches and paradoxical designs. The exhibition explores M.C. Escher’s work on transformation of shapes, illustrating how metamorphosis became a unique feature of his art, blending fantasy and geometry.

A world where birds can gradually transform into fishes or a lizard morph into the cell of a honeycomb. At times, transformations lead to opposite combinations such as day and night, or good and evil.

This was the most technologically advanced light and sound show I have ever seen. Bubble machines created a shimmering cloud above the water with impressive images of children projected onto the wall of water. The music was in sync with the images and included “It’s a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong

Family and friends were mesmerised with its dancing water fountains, colourful visual arts, inspiring orchestral soundtrack and special lighting effects.
