Featuring Our World (Post#1): Bedok Reservoir
One of the things that I admired in Singapore while living there for almost a year was about their Reservoir. This kind of place made me felt that I was really near with nature. Singapore in overall impression it is a country city. Yes, right now it thrives to be more nature friendly country but if you never goes to green places such as parks, most likely what you will see are vertical buildings of residences, offices and even factories because of the country’s limited land space. Bedok Reservoir was one of the places that I like immediately after I saw the place. A nearby walking and jogging trails can be found in the place and that was the reason I got to know the place. My friends and I were scheduled to exercise near the reservoir and I was not aware that its really a scenic and serene place. One of the good things to know while reading something about the said reservoir was how it was developed. It was a sand quarry before which used to reclaim some areas in Singapore and this became the place to collect water storm during storm weather season. And now, the reservoir is a great place for outdoor activities. Photo collections captured last April 2010.

Yes, you are right, I really appreciate this kind of place in urban city
Lovely photos. When you are in a crowded city it is always good to know where you can find serenity and nature.
You’re right, Singapore is really a nice country, but if you want to do more about nature, you have limited options like if you wanted to climb a mountain, but they are trying to have a least a reservoirs in many places that you can really appreciate. Thanks for dropping by
