lionhead

Back from a short trip to Singapore, I managed a couple of photo outings in the evening. The heat and humidity, though it’s now the ‘cool’ season, was difficult to deal with. No matter how much your pace yourself, it doesn’t take long to turn into a sweat soaked mess. At times the relative humidity is so high raindrops seem to materialize out of nowhere. Always carry an umbrella with you, and a small towel to wipe the sweat of your forehead.

This is the Lionhead, the national symbol of Singapore. Located in front of the Fullerton Hotel along the Singapore river, it is a main attraction for visitors.

    It’s actually called the Merlion as it’s a mix of a mermaid and a lion.
