Elephants Fever

Yesterday evening after office hours, a group of us set-off on foot to Marina Bay Sands for our dinner.    Along the way to the hotel, I spotted more elephants on display along the Promenade.  Immediately I whipped out my iPhone and started snapping away.  

"Wisdom" - Don't judge what you only see on the outside

This one is quite interesting ...... the Singapore skyline drawn on it.  So intricate and the painter must have spent lots of time on the finishing touches.

Singapore Skyline - The beauty of Singapore skyline is like the beauty of a never-ending horizon

One of our favourites along the park is this elephant "Ai Buin".

Ai Buin - "Ai” means water, and “Buin” means “a bathing place on the riverbanks”.

By PSA.

"Mother" - This elephant portrays a mother elephant bearing a human child. “Mother” intends to bring forth the intensions of saving the Asian elephants the same way a mother would tend to her child. To create, to nurture and to protect.

"Human" - Humans and elephants are not too dissimilar in terms of their emotions and tenderness. We both have the capacity to feel joy, sorrow, fear, and pain.

The other side of "Human" elephant.

As we approached The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands - along the Olympic Walk area, I spotted two more elephants.

"Peace" - calm

Art Angels - 8 students from Very Special Arts Singapore worked together to paint this elephant in a bid to show that, despite their disabilities, they are able to contribute to a noble cause.

I wonder if there are more elephants on the other side of the Sands ?   Will find out soon when I visit the ArtScience Museum later this month .......
