Landmark of Singapore



Merlion Park is located near Marina Bay, Singapore. This park is a popular tourist attraction. Two structures of the Merlion are located here and it is a major tourist attraction and a landmark of Singapore



From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Merlion (Malay: Singa-Laut) is an imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, used as a mascot of Singapore. Its name combines "mer" meaning the sea and "lion". The fish body comes from Singapore's ancient name back when it was a fishing village — Temasek — meaning "sea town" in Javanese. The lion head represents Singapore's original name — Singapura — meaning "lion city" or "kota singa".

Nothing Ageless

Image
  What was routine is now sacred            However, even the most precious parts of your life must adapt to the changing circumstances, requiring you to leave behind what was once immutable and vital. Your lack of attachment to those things you cherish stands as a shining example for your peers. Nevertheless, there’s no reason to be casual about whatever is fading into the past. Carefully consider each decision. Responsible authority is your middle name. You are the clock that others set their watches to when they want to be right.    #MonringWalk #MorningMusings #DailyRitual #GreenThumb #Gardening  #DailyMuse #LightsAndShadows #Greens #Floral #Scenery #Garden #Palette #Woods #Serenity #MeTime #Gardener #allkindsofnature #ColorScheme #Serendipity #GreenFingers #EmotionalUniverse #AloneTime #Nature #Motivational #Uplifting #Topherculitis #LiveSpherically
