And here we are are Mt faber in mappy goodness!
the faber walk we will see us through the "Jewel Box" aka the cable care station
nothing new, but hey it's still a good view, yea?
getting yourself orientated is not much a problem with many signs round the area
a short trek through few of the winding roads along Mt Faber
will bring us to one of the highlights of route!
located at the peak of the faber hill...
the henderson "sinusoidal" wave bridge is also Singapore's tallest "over head bridge" lol!
there are plenty of information maps at the attractions for those who want to know bit more on top of those who are topograhical
there are many cool height markers engraved on the bridge's floors, though 60m is nothing really great to brag about!
the bridge is open top, with no shelter at all
man it does look high up from here!
it have some small shaded resty areas, but blocks only the sun partially on this sunny day
a view of the sinusoidal waveform which not only give the bridge it's curvy looks but pokes out at regular intervals above the w
some of the few resting spots on the bridge, thou you can only enjoy the view at the handrails
some bow looking thingies with words on them...
this is the highest we can get - 77m!
next up will be the Telok Blangah hill forest walk
a baby forest with some fitness corners
ah so the arch is that way!
did I mention it's very difficult to get lost here?
Telok Blangah hill have many family friendly facilities such as carparks and event areas
not to mention many playgrounds for children as well!
remnants of the the old Alkaff Mansion
the terrace garden is nice, but not a highlight of today's walk
what we are partly here for lies after some stretches of Telok Blangah hill roads
I spy a dome with my little eye
more of those information, ummm sign thingies
there's quite alot of people here!
wonder where this leads us too..
holly molly! a whole Donkey Kong level!
if saving princesses ain't your cup of tea, there always the earth trail
which runs on ground dirt tracks along with the forest walk
some photogenic shots above
and under!
lined along the forest walk are details and elaborations of vegetation which survived the construction process...
some of the various scenic and high spots of the walk
did I mention HIGH? look down!
don't ask me, I like how this picture was framed
a view of the hill walk platforms from a distance
here are some of the inter-twining areas part of the route
hello I am a dirt track & I miss people trampling on me!
a quick escape route in case any nature calls
a view you never thought you can get in central Singapore... (now is that a starbucks joint behind that tree?)
some of the trekkers on a mission...
some more stainless steel structure porn
the whole structure floor is mainly made from triangular gratings with holes large enough to allow leaves/water to fall through,
some of the various cool night lighters along the floor
this is the "donate a tree" area of the walk, which showcases few of the longer straight stretches of the walk
one part of the route even passes by the old Depot road colonial bungalows, 1up for privacy!
