Aliens or Avatar ......... - a photo on Flickriver

One of the reasons why I wanted to visit Singapore was Gardens by the Bay. A man made park with huge plantlike structures which light up after dark. For me these structures are sci-fi in real life. Call them aliens, call them parts of the Avatar-world. The structures are so tall and that you can't photograph them without distortion. But I like the overhanging position.

Scouting out the location during day and coming back at dusk. I wanted to have at least an early bleu hour shot to integrate the ambiant light with the first lights on the structures. Staying longer gave me also the opportunity to catch everything in illuminating bright colors. But that's something for another time. For now:
