VERTICAL GREENERY

I saw a map of the Taipei airport in the form of vertical greenery in Taiwan last year but now there is a world map in the same form at the on the pedestrian level of Ocean Building above the Raffles Place MRT near the underpass leading to NTUC Centre.

Vertical greenery is also slowly creeping into buildings, as evident by stores such as the following.

BUKIT BROWN CEMETERY

A Ficus (fig) tree.

I was there just last week and there are a number of trees that are interesting.

We visited the Ong Sam Leong's grave which occupies a large footprint which is perhaps the size of a 5-room HDB flat? A road at Farrer Park MRT vicinity was named after him. Another road Boon Tat Street at Raffles Place area was named after his son Ong Boon Tat.

By a stroke of luck, I also saw a yellow Skipper butterfly and managed to capture its beauty on my iphone before I left.

The fruits are edible?

There are a number of beautiful Crotons in the area.

The Earth Deity

I couldn't believe that I managed to capture a good photo of this Skipper.
