19-05-06 the merlion

Friday night!

After a long week it was finally Friday. We went to the pub after work with a bunch of the people
in the office, before taking a walk from our hotel down to the merlion. It's a half lion, half
fish statue.

Singapore in Sanskrit is called "Singapura", it's to do with a translated story where upon coming
onto the island a Sumatran prince saw a lion. The fusion of the Merlion is to celebrate the
city's links with the sea.

Still playing catch-up, so if you're interested there are a number of other postings prior to this
in my PAD gallery.

nice capture of the merlion - half lion half mermaid. My husband always says they should have swithed the name around and called in the Limade.

lights everywhere.. best part to me is the reflection of them on the night clouds.
