#WednesdayWalk is a challenge started by tattoodjay@tattoodjay, The idea is to get out for a short walk, and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start.

The Gardens by the Bay, spanning 101 hectares of reclaimed land in the Central region of Singapore, is Singapore’s premier urban outdoor recreation space, and a national icon. It is Singapore’s pride and joy.

Comprising three waterfront gardens, Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden, the Gardens by the bay is a showcase of horticulture and garden artistry that will bring the world of plants to Singapore and present Singapore to the world.

It is always a pleasure to visit the Gardens. There is much to see, to revisit. There is always something going on, some festival celebrations, events, and new attractions. It is an on-going job keeping the garden interesting, and attractive.

That is why it is Singapore’s number tourist spot and also a hit with the locals. If you ever come this way, make sure you make time for a visit to the Gardens by the Bay.

Here are some pictures of the Gardens from my recent visit. Enjoy.
