57) A ride to Coney Island

| 32 Comments

Pulau Serangoon, also known as Coney Island in Singapore.  It is a 45-hectare in size and located off the north-eastern coast of the Singapore mainland.  Back in about 30 years ago, you still be able to make your own way when the tide is low, as the closest distant to the shore is just about 100metres.  Fun seekers will just ignore this and have their fun in this sunny island.

Currently, the island is closed for future quality housing developments.  The only residents here are the coniferous trees and the breeze shuttling between trees.  While some visitors watch over the waters with approving admiration.

Coming in by Waterway@Punggol direction, a red-soil route welcome you like the red carpet.

Pine trees, ripples with the wide horizon make up an account for Coney Island beyond words.

A pavilion with an irregular arc comes with semi-open concept allows viewers to capture the beautiful scenery at the same time to hide away from the rain and sun.

The inner side of the arc, laid with reflective aluminum ceilings, mirror the bleeding red ground and turn him to a blush!

Rest enough for the day, let’s carry on with the red carpet trail and explore the next destination.

  1. Thank you for providing a place to rest. You go on ahead. I’ll catch up with you later. :)

  2. The red carpet (soil) photo is amazing. Must be a very nature healthy place. :-)

  3. that top picture just pulled me in!! You are really a wonderful photographer, Sydney. And what a lovely subject. :)

    • I try to be doing some meaningful stuff each day and live meaningfully! Rather than sitting in the office earning 8 to 5 salary!
      But this is just me! I might be the rare, the weird, the third encounter! Haha!
      Karen, you are great writer too!
      Is my honor to know you! Cheers!

  4. Beautiful & CLEAN! Funny that there is another Coney Island on the other side of the world! :)

  5. Beautiful place!!! Great shots!!!

  6. The angles and lines in that last photo are fantastic!

  7. The place looks like an idyllic getaway for some quiet reflection. I like the look of the red path. It looks inviting. How long is it? Is it at least a mile?

    The modern arc looks cool too! Thanks for taking us with you.

  8. Your Coney Island is a lot more pretty than the one in New York – it looks to be a beautiful place to rest and reflect on things.

  9. Modern yet very nature-loving at the same time it seems! Beautiful!

    • Thanks, if you happen to see the moon rising behind the forest! You might stunned by the scene!
      But, I didn’t brought my camera along, it’s such a waste!
      Never mind, my heart is always there! :)
      Have a nice day!

  10. Again, a great blog Sydney! It’s always a joy to stop by your site! :D
