-Look Up, Look Down Challenge, Week 99
Every Thursday, I publish a post containing photos taken from above or below, and invite you to join in the challenge by posting your own images with an up or down perspective.

I am back from Singapore and late with my weekly challenge – here it is at last!
This week, I’m sharing a Singapore icon with you. It may only be a recent addition to this city of high rise buildings and striking architecture, but it has most definitely captured the public imagination.
Opened in 2010, this massive structure, with a massive budget to match, comprises a hotel, casino, shopping mall, museum, infinity pool, observation deck, gardens, boardwalk and museum. Its design, a kind of 3-legged pi with a curved ship on top, makes it instantly recognisable. In fact, this is the building that features in the Banda Street murals.
The three 55-storey hotel towers support a 2.5-acre SkyPark. This “ship” floats 200 meters above the sea and cantilevers 65 meters beyond the towers.
Looking down
If you are staying in the hotel you can enjoy a dizzying infinity pool and gardens. Even if you are not a guest, you can visit the bar and observation deck where you’ll be rewarded with wonderful views across the bay.
Looking up
and up again

Back in UK! Once I’ve caught up on work, I’ll post my views on Singapore – haven’t entirely decided what they are yet!

Wow. Incredible. Too bad it wasn’t there in 2006 when I lived in Singapore. Hope you managed to survive the heat and humidity.

You’ll have to revisit! I survived – just – now missing it as I’m in a wintry Edinburgh
