Singapore Botanical Garden is one of the main attractions of Singapore. Quite often when one lives in a place, one easily overlook the local attractions that tourists from far afield come to visit. The Botanical Gardens is just one of those- I lives in Singapore but never pay much attention or visit the place unless I have visitors. However it is apparently a favourite of tourists especially the new force-to-be-reckon-with tourists from China and India. These tourists are no doubt attracted by the immaculately maintained gardens and its vast collection of tropical trees, flowers and plants. For locals, one of the favourite spot of the Gardens is the white octagonal shaped pavilion named the Bandstand which was erected in 1930. The Bandstand used to host military band performances in the past- now it is a popular spot for newly-weds to have their photos taken with their full regalia of wedding gowns.

Herbert, This shot is absolutely beautiful. Even at 72ppi on a blog it is sharp and bright. It would certainly be a perfect spot for wedding photos, especially on a day like this one. Thanks for sharing your work.
Truly a very apt location for some romantic shots, especially a wedding.
Brilliant colors, love it.
Really liked the greenery, really good for a afternoon party.
