A short visit to Marina Barrage

A short visit to Marina Barrage on the 16th November 2008. I am truly impressed by the engineering feat Singapore had pull off in design and constructing this Dam or barrage or flood gate or whatever they call it. Not only does it function as a water catchment and flood control facility for our little island of Singapore, it is also a really peaceful, relaxing and cooling sea breeze place to spend the weekend at. A well constructed facility that not only function but also an added asthetic feature to our country landscape. This is one of the place you got to visit if you ever come my country. The open green space at the top of the huge spiral walkway serve as a recreation ground and a picnic ground while catching the view of Singapore city landscape both day and night. I hope the Integrated Resort that slated to complete in year 2009 add more beauty to our city landscape. This is just a short visit before dinner at Suntec City Mall. I will definately be back to take more picture but most of all to just sit down there and marvel at the acceleration of our city development.
