Singapore's National Library, a repository of books in the heart of the city, on Victoria Street.The flagpole flying our national flag rises skyward along with the cantilevered facade.
Looking up from another angle. The building comprises two blocks linked by skybridges. There is a viewing pod on the top 16th storey and a public garden on the 5th storey.
A far view taking in one side of its modern architecture. The building, which opened in 2005, is a far cry from the red-bricked building that was the old National Library at Stamford Road which left sentimental memories. Times are always a changing in fast paced Singapore.For more Round Robin stories, go here.
Nice shots Irene! Have a nice weekend...
ReplyDeleteThe first picture, with the flagpole, is really stunning! It almost makes me dizzy, just looking up at that angle. Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Robins, great to have you!
ReplyDeleteA few months ago, I was introduced to RRPC and I never looked back, I've been playing nearly every time.
Thanks for sharing these great shots. I've always wanted to visit Singapore but haven't done so, I'm very close by in Hong Kong.
All the best, hope you'll play again. Meanwhile, you're cordially invited to visit my blog and comment.
Have a good weekend.
Its a whole new perspective when you look up, isn't it. Enjoyed reading some of your blog!
