Super(DUPER)trees

One of the perks of my job is being able to visit places as they evolve.
One of these places is the amazing Gardens By The Bay where they are building some Supertrees which serve as vertical gardens.

I've been visiting the gardens everytime something is completed and have seen it being put together a few months at a time. Now i'm actually finding it very comforting everytime I have an assignment there. Maybe I have a special place in my heart for it, as it landed me my first double page spread in Time magazine but yea...that's personal reasons...
It's really starting to shape up and looks really magnificent. Everytime I go there, I feel that i'm entering a scene from the movie "Avatar". 
 
This time round, we got to witness the completion of the SKYWAY, its that skybridge linking a cluster of Supertrees... It is to me, way cooler than the Marina Bay Sands Skypark... you are high enough to enjoy the scenery but still low enough without glass barrier to be part of your surroundings.
It's a little bit "scary" for people who have the fear of heights and I admit it did take me a little while to get settled before I could start staring into my tiny view finder without feeling like I may fall over the edge...

It's really out of this world and the view is breath taking. 
I can't wait til it opens so everyone can enjoy it the way I do.

This is one of those places which grows on you - literally!
Come June 29, 2012. It will be open to the public.
Here are some OUT TAKES from my assignments. Sneak Preview....
