Gardens And Generations...

While seeing the well procured botanical garden of the nation in Singapore, we may think about the purpose of a vivid garden rich in greenery ....it should definitely be clear that a well-maintained national garden for plants,vegetation and trees should serve the purpose of nurturing the generations too.Whether it be the inflaming orchids or flourishing leaves or trees of very many varieties in stark greens as we found them in the National Botanical Garden in Singapore,it would be a splendid example before every society  for why we should  plant and protect them;

In the very layout of the gardens here ,it is curious to observe the harmony in up-keeping natural and aesthetic sense of planting and preserving the natural system of trees and their habitats; even the signboards placed amidst the leaves proves as the examples.....:

In the cool habitat of plants and trees there are stunning spots for people to pose for photos,which are arranged with sound planning and charm that may tempt everyone to get inside to see themselves in the scenic backdrop of flowers and plants :

Night Walks....!

Nights on May remained calm..and the streets less dense.The business of the day was almost finished on the roads of Singapore that had flown in full swing with the traffic all along the day,by that time.During the dusk,I had been to the Merlion and spent there till the night; the Park twinkling in the night was something celestial by the illuminations all around the surrounding buildings!!....the photographers,mainly photographic students from various lands and institutions, had gathered around the main statue emitting the spring in colors under the eventful dusk welcoming the May-night in Singapore....

The Merlion At Night Lights

Back from the Merlion,I started my walk in the night city-pavements...many shops were shut down and the traffic grew less, the city corners were drained.There were some coffee shops and restaurants still opened here and there in the streets near Little India and many tables were found isolated ....

By the side of the pavements,the display lights in some show walls were on and there were still some people around to finish their last shopping roundups ;

Some fruit shops with baskets full of fruits, grains and nuts had awaited their turn in the tables of the night..!!

The Deity Of A City

In the city circle of Singapore,very near to the Merlion Park, we can a find the shrine of the lovely goddess of the city,surrounded by the archaic walls and courtyards.The deity here is well decorated and adorned by all who come across here, quite uniquely.The in-lay works and decorations are traditional and highly ornamental, functioning as an attribute to the daily worship here ...and anybody can pray before her and serve her with offerings as allowed by the temple customs in a traditional fashion:

The worship is to get the blessings and to make a nice way to the goal of success and fruitfulness to the life ahead and thus to achieve the best in the turn of daily life of all who offers in devotion to the goddess...;

The Wayside Curios In Bangkok On A Streetwalk...

While walking along the streets in Bangkok, a casual visitor would be able to go across so many things of curiosity on either side of the road that may have some sharp visual  impact !Many things are crafted out in impressive colors with sharp contrasts and many others are of hardcore manual work and exceptional skill , that may have been displayed in a particular spacing or in a charming color scheme or color harmony.

  The lighting inside the display walls is both sensitive and highlighting the antique atmosphere surrounding the humane images made out either in bronze,clay or wood in a showcase as shown above;
Some Indian shops for pearls and stones show off a tint of monochrome under different quality of pearls having similar shades of blue ,green or purple:

  The shelves arrayed with some stone/jewel craft-work in highly contrasting colors and glitter could not be easily ignored by a passerby at least for the first time in this city of competent skills and craftsmanship;

The Seawalkers in Denims and the Gliding Colors in the Sky

The  island tourism in the Pattaya beaches and the coral islands in Thailand attracts tourists all over the world.The number of tourists visiting the spots of attraction increasing everyday innumerably...and the major factors that call the attraction  to these beach centers in Thailand are the seascapes and the sandy shores maintained well by the natives ...
The sand and sea remain as the center-spread of tourist activities in the Pattaya Beach destinations.We can see the abundant crowd crossing the sea in thrill so as to get in touch with the waters in order to reach their boats to  the island surrounding for a day full of aqua-adventures provided there.

A Glide in Colors..!!

The crowd at rest in the Island Beach

While I was there,I got amused with the sight of people of all age-groups walking across the sea for the morning trips very well and the special thing that I had noticed there was their Denims and Tops  making a contrasting visual experience to the eyes against the morning waves wrinkling against the sun-rays..they were walking towards their sails situated ahead that carry them to the coral islands for vivid activities..the sight of denims had reflected well their seamless enthusiasm and thrill to  get in an intimate touch with the sea-waters...and to indulge in a variety of activities including a colorful paragliding at the sea on that way... !!

Waves Waving A Way To The Sun....

It is the way of the sun we see on the waves in the morning seas of Lanka (Srilanka)in the midsummer days of May.

The Waving Winds Of Lanka On A Warm Midsummer

The Dusk On The Sand

The Huts In The Dusk

The shore found delightful on an early landing in the month for the first time visit that has

been made unforgettable by the waving winds and sunlight on the seashore...during the noon, the winds grew frantic and the waves fantastic in the fascinating rays of the sun all over the land and the sea amidst the pleasing cold of the walls and the floor under the snowy water vapors emerging out of the waves around... By the evening,the sun shone gold in the wind gone gentle and the sand gone warm when the huts on the shore got alive with the people staying around and their children....so as to stay in tune with the waving colors of the sun in the dusk !!
