by JamCanSing "Clarke Quay is at the mouth of the Singapore River and in the late 1800's became the centre for doing business. The area was mainly dealing with warehousing and you can still see signs of the warehousing. The warehouses were retrofitted to house the restaurants, bars and shops that now make up the pedestrian mall. In the early 2000's, Clarke Quay used to be host to weekend flea marketing and drew crowds of bargain hunters and budding entrepreneurs. These days the 'flea market' has gone up market and you can visit Clarke Quay for a Bazaar event usually held one weekend a month. http://www.clarkequay.com.sg Nearby places to see (walking distance): Boat Quay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat_Quay http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=bcee2494-5f65-4d7d-b5d2-321ed8b6c1c5 Singapore River http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=a5e8585e-deb7-44d3-81a0-66bd7ea3490d Riverside Point http://www.fareastretail.com.sg/home/index.aspx?key=riversidepoint Centr@l http://www.thecentral.com.sg Robertson Quay http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=f1de611e-6009-460c-b228-fcd8d4742edf Hotel Novotel / Daimaru http://www.novotelclarkequay.com.sg/ Fort Canning Park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Canning Central Fire Station - Civil Defense Heritage Gallery http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=5a883d0f-1c64-4fb2-87a3-0bd8d270e6ab Funan DigitaLife Mall http://www.funan.com.sg/ St Andrew Cathedral http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=7bb7fe12-2546-4448-af37-34cb4674ef93 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%5fAndrew%27s%5fCathedral%2c%5fSingapore Parliament House http://www.parliament.gov.sg/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament%5fHouse%2c%5fSingapore Supreme Court http://app.supremecourt.gov.sg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Singapore Cavenagh Bridge http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=6382ff92-4dd8-470c-bc17-8a967491169c National Museum http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=6eb6195d-c868-475b-98a1-0e271a85ec98 The Asian Civilisations Museum http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=f501ac92-fead-4282-8443-652fa8eb2092 http://www.acm.org.sg Created by: Team Dee digITall Lobang"

by euniceyee "The Marina Reservoir is a reservoir in Marina Bay, Singapore. It was formed in 2008 from the damming of the mouth of the Kallang Basin. Situated at the heart of the up-and-coming Marina South district, the Marina Reservoir is an iconic venue with Singapore’s business and financial district as its backdrop. With the completion of the Marina Barrage, the reservoir, which contained mainly salt water, would become freshwater in a few years when excess water will be released out to the sea after heavy rains.The catchment area that is resulted from the forming of the reservoir is about one-third the size of Singapore, and two of the island's major rivers - Singapore River, Kallang River and Geylang River, as well as Rochor River, a tributary of the Kallang River flow into it. The Marina Reservoir is a choice venue for a wide range of water-based activities including hosting the canoe-kayak and rowing events. The area includes a one-kilometre straight race course for canoeing and rowing activities. The Singapore Canoe Marathon 2009 was staged at the Marina Reservoir in January 2009. The on-land staging of canoeing and rowing competitions is along a portion of Gardens by the Bay – a new 32-hectare park next to the Marina Reservoir. With an extensive water frontage along the Marina Reservoir, the Gardens will provide an excellent vantage point. The facilities at the reservoir during Singapore 2010 (the First Youth Olympic Games) include a boat-storage shed for up to 200 boats, a boat-washing area, toilets and showers, and a doping-control station. A seating gallery for approximately 1,000 spectators will be constructed. The Marina Barrage is part of a comprehensive flood control scheme to alleviate flooding in the low-lying areas in the city such as Chinatown, Boat Quay, Jalan Besar and Geylang. During heavy rain, the series of nine crest gates at the dam will be activated to release excess storm water into the sea when the tide is low. In the case of high tide, giant pumps which are capable of pumping an Olympics-size swimming pool per minute will drain excess storm water into the sea.

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple (Photo360_Team25)

by footix24 "Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple This temple was built as early as 1855 and newer extensions were added in 1908. Dedicated to Kali, the Goddess of Power and ferocious incarnation of Lord Siva’s wife, this Hindu temple is believed to be the first one of its kind in Singapore to venerate her. Many temple devotees use the aluminum enclosures located near the doors to break coconuts, symbolic of revealing their pure and kind inner-selves. You may also notice that in counter-clockwise fashion, they encircle the temple halls an odd number of times for good luck. Devotees entering the temple ring the many bells on its door, hoping to have their requests granted. Inside, the ceiling is rimmed with statues of Hindu gods. And of course, at this temple’s main shrine is a jet black statue of Kali, flanked by her sons Ganesha and Murugan. The many-armed Kali carries many weapons too. Namely, weapons of destruction. Ganesha, the elephant god, is the Remover of Obstacles, while Murugan, often depicted riding a peacock, has his birthday marked by the festival of Thaipusam. At other shrines, elephants flank the staircase, while the steps are covered by intricately-worked silver. Veeramakaliamman means ‘Kali - the Courageous’. And during World War II, the temple courageously offered refuge to many. Tuesdays and Fridays are the holy days when the temple is abuzz with religious fervour; a sight to behold. You’re welcome to visit then, or at any other time (the temple is closed 12.30pm to 4pm daily) but please enter barefoot."
