Marina Barrage

Went with Nelson to the Marina Barrage on saturday. Its a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery and the sea breeze. Its quite easy to get there - there is a free shuttle bus service from Marina Bay MRT every 30 mins..really convenient.

The Marina Barrage main building. It has a cafe, a huge pump room and a really beautiful exhibition gallery.

The fountain area. The place has lots of water features, complimenting its theme of converting the Singapore River into a reservoir.

Its amazing what MM Lee said in 1987 has become a reality and its nearly exactly 20 years like he said.
The exhibition gallery is unexpectedly beautiful and thought provoking. The art pieces and the setups are so nicely done.




A sculpture made of thousands of mineral water bottles. Cool!

Fragmented reflections.

The theme of the gallery - Sustainable. Singapore.




From the walkway/dam, you get a perfect view of the esplanade.


The rooftop garden...where you can sit down relax...picnic...fly kites...and probably catch the fireworks next national day.
Really like the place, will definitely go there again.
