day 360


Went back to the Botanic garden before my mahjong game, since I wanted to retake this picture. It could be one of my options for my photography group's next topic: frame within the frame.

He vuelto al jardin botanico antes de ir a jugar al mahjong, para volver a hacer esta foto. Podria ser una de mis opctiones para el proximo tema del grupo de fotografia: encuadre natural.

Chopin's statue playing piano at the botanic garden. I would like to go to one the concerts there.

Estatua de Chopin tocando el piano en el jardin botanico. A ver si algun dia voy a alguno de los conciertos que hacer alli.

Another of the many sculptures you can find while walking through Singapore. This one was at Telok Ayer, but I'm not sure I could find it again...

Otra de las muchas estatuas que puedes encontrar paseando por Singapur. Esta estaba en el barrio de Telok Ayer, aunque no estoy segura de ser capaz de volver a encontrarla.

Most of the this kind of statues in temples, and some times it was just rocks, wore ribs like these ones. I assume it is a tradition or a belief... anybody knows why?

Muchas de las estatatuas en los templos, y algunas veces en piedras geandes, llevaban puestos estos baberos. Supongo que es una traducion o creencia.... alguien sabe porque?

day 290


Last Monday I had a busy day. I resumed my Chinese class in the morning, and played mahjong for the first time in the afternoon, it was fun! In the evening I had a book club meeting, so I had a few spare hours, but it wasn't worth it to go home. Since the botanic garden is nearby were I was and it had stopped raining (yes! It started raining yesterday!!), a walk was a good option to spend my time.

El lunes pasado tuve un dia muy entretenido. Hemos vuelto a empezar con las clases de Chino por las mañanas, y por la tarde aprendi a jugar al mahjong, que divertido! Por la tarde tenia una reunion de un club de lectura, asi que tenia unas horas libres, y no merecia la pena irme a casa. Como el botanic garden esta cerca de donde estaba yo, y habia dejado de llover (si!! ayer empezo a llover!!), irme a dar un paseo por alli era una buena opcion.

There are so many things to photograph at the temples.

Cuantas cosas para fotografiar en los templos

day 279


I had to buy some treats to give to the dogs during the dogwalking, and I decided to walk to a nearby shopping mall and take some pictures on my way.
I thought these lions were decorated for the CNY, but they are not the only ones still wearing the red ribbons, so I guess it is for the whole year.

Tenia que comprar algo de comida para darle a los perros de la protectora durante nuestros paseos, asi que decidi dar un paseo hasta un centro comercial que no esta muy lejos, y asi hacer unas fotos por el camino.
Pensaba que estos leones estaban decorados para el Año Nuevo Chino, pero estos no son los unicos que aun llevan estos lazos rojos, asi que supongo que son para todo el año.

day 275



I had seen a picture of this fountain many times, but had no idea of where it was and how it had be done. So when I found it, I went and tried with the fish eye lens. This picture is not exactly the one I saw, since I could not go to the point it was taken.

Habia visto fotos de esta fuente, pero no sabia ni donde estaba ni como la habian hecho. asi que cuando finalmente la encontre, pense en ir y probar con el objetivo ojo de pez. Esta no es exactamente la foto que yo habia visto, pero no podia if al sitio desde el que probablemente la habian hecho.

day 274


I saw this waterwheel many times before, and finally went there with the camera. But taking this picture was not an easy task. Not only for the fact that the waterwheel is moving, but also because I had to take the picture from the escalator. So I had to go up and down several times, and the security guy looked at me suspiciously. I wasn't doing anything wrong, but made me feel uncomfortable and I left.

Habia visto esta noria varias veces, y el otro dia fui por fin con la camara. Pero hacer la foto fue mas dificil de lo que pensaba, porque ademas de que la noria se movia, la foto tuve que hacerla desde unas escalareas mecanicas. Asi que tuve que subir y bajar varias veces, y el de seguridad me empezo a mirarme de forma rara. No estaba haciendo nada malo, pero me sentia incomoda, asi que me fui.

 Don't need to explain why I like this sculpture, hehe!

No hace falta que explique porque me gusta esta estatue, no?

day 266


Did I say I'm enjoy my new lens? hehe! A few weeks ago I was even thinking about quitting the project, but I am again full of enthusiasm :) It's taking me time to adapt to it, but it's fun. In this picture, I was actually trying to get a foreground of the cats, a statue I had never seen before.
2 days until Sunday photo...

He dicho ya lo bien que me lo estoy pasando con este objetivo? jeje! Hace unas semanas estaba incluso planteandome no terminar el proyecto, pero vuelvo a estar con las mismas ganas otra vez :) Me esta costando acostumbrarme a el, pero es divertido. En esta foto por ejemplo, mi idea era hacer un primer plano de los gatos, ya que era la primera vez que los veia.
2 dias para la foto del domingo..

This statue is just sooooo weird. I was told it was a gift from Indonesia, but that didn't give any clue either of its meaning. I just can't see the point of this huge floating baby.

Esta estatua es taaaaan rara. Por lo visto fue un regalo de Indonesia, aunque eso tampoco explica mucho. Soy incapaz de ver el sentido de un bebe enorme flotando.

I already posted a picture of this sculpture, but from a totally different point of view (day 16). As I said, it's in the city, just behind the famous The Fullerton Hotel.

Ya puse una foto de esta estatua, pero desde una perspectiva totalmente diferente (dia 16). Como ya dije, esta en la "city", detras del famoso The Fullerton Hotel.

Interesting sculpture in Raffles Place. It reminds me a little bit to the Atomium, but small version.

Interesante escultura en Raffles Place. Me recuerda un poco al Atomium, pero en version pequeña.

day 195




Every time I take the bus to the City I see this sculpture, and I finally stopped to take some pictures. Unfortunately it started to rain, and I couldn't take many, so I'll have to return.

Cuando voy en autobus al centro siempre veo esta escultura, y por fin he parado alli para hacer algunas fotos. Para variar, empezo a llover, asi que no pude hacer muchas. Tendre que volver

Newton's foot according to Dali. I like better the other side, but the background not that much. Maybe I should try at night...

El pie de Newton segun Dali. La verdad es que me gustaba mas visto desde el otro lado, pero el fondo era muy feo.... quizas deberia porbar por la noche....
