What kind of tree is not important anymore!
The tree in the picture has been discovered in the dense forest Gujarat, India.
According to the blogger coolguyramforyou, he claimed that this is a mysterious tree but not “Baobab” tree.
I know little about “Baobab” tree, but the most important attractions to me are, when you move yourself closer to look at the tree.
Sydney thanks him for sharing with us this great discovery and awesome post!
Do you agree with me?
Tanjong Rhu suspension footbridge
Tanjong Rhu Bridge is the first suspension footbridge in Singapore. It was built in 1998, spanning across the Geylang River to ease the residents and footers for traveling between National Stadium and Tanjong Rhu estate.
It was built at the construction cost of S$5.1 million, its span 130m long and 4 m wide.
The bridge is suspended by 100 number of hangar cables that are 1 inch thick and attached to two main cables that are 4.5 inches thick.
The main cables are anchored to a huge 19m high “A” like frame that located at both ends of the footbridge.
If you travel along the Geylang River side, don’t forget to spend a visit to the iconic metal footbridge. You’ll never regret your riverside walk.
What meal Watermeal should deserve?
Watermeal belongs to aquatic plants. Green in color, about 1mm in size, the flowers was as small as needle tips.
This little fairy owns 3 world record titles for the smallest plant in the world; smallest plant that can bloom flower in the world and the smallest seed and fruit in the world.
There are 9 to 11 species under the genus, Wolffia is the smallest among them, sizes from 0.4 to 0.9mm in length. The sizes of the seeds and fruits are as fine as salts.
On top of loosing out in size, environmental pollutions also make it tougher to locate them.
The next time you spot them, please offer them your gentle loving care, as this is the biggest meal they deserved.
Why leaves always come with pointed tip?
The shape of a leaf is just like human being, born of different kinds of shapes and sizes. Different shapes like round, sword, oval, heart, diamond and spoon etc. But, majority of the similarities are derived from the sharp pointed tip.
Why is it that most of the tips are pointed than others?
Reason being that when water drops on the surface of the leaf, it will be absorbed as much as so. The remains of the droplets will be discharged as fast as it can to save the leaf from rotting.
Nature has design the pointed tips for water to be channeled easily and disperse the extras as fast as it could be to the ground for the survival of other life.
Take a piece of cake just enough for yourself, and share the rest with others. This is the moral of the story that we should learn from nature.
A calm river at Geylang
Geylang River project is part of the Public Utility Board’s (PUB), Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme.
This programme allows the river water to transform into clean water with vibrancy.
Kallang Basin is the merging point for Kallang, Geylang and Rochor River. After 10 years of project cleaning up from 1977 to 1987, we must be thankful to the authority involved for the returns of the original face of the water body.
Now, both sides of the warehouse had been demolished. It is left with trees, green and beautiful memories to make up the beautiful nature landscape of the riverbank.
Magnificent Bull
The “Magnificent Bull” bronze sculpture is located outside at the visitor center, Marina Gardens By the Bay.
Sculptor Walter Matia was born in Maryland, United states. Graduate in Massachusetts with degrees in Biology and Art Design.
This is a true belief to be why he has a full collect of animal’s sculptures.
As Walter says,” I am a hunter, a fisherman, a bird watcher, a book collector, a lover of natural history curiosities, an undisciplined dog trainer, and some say, a good game cook. I enjoy these passions-which have their own rewards; but they also provide the narratives of my art. I am not searching for more facts, they can be had in abundance from secondary sources; I am trying to understand the whole sense of a place.”
