Take exit 17 and go thru a series of turns that will probably make you think if you are lost (know what? i shouldnt tell you where.. i mean, that why it's fun...right! right?? :)
Anyway, if you are not lost, you will reach a white building that says Marina Barrage.. whatever...
The barrage comprises nine steel crest gates, each 30m long, built across the 350m wide Marina Channel. Besides separating seawater from freshwater, it also acts as a tidal barrier to keep out high tides. The 5m tall steel gates can be lowered during heavy rains so that water from the reservoir can be released into the sea.
There is also a green roof which doubles up as a recreational space, open to public access. It serves as an insulation to lower the temperature of the building.
Trust me, its beautiful at night..
The first few weeks after its open to public, its absolute serenity at night totally engulfs the busy atmosphere found in the cities and CBD. Just by sitting there lifts up your spirit and prepares you for more s**t the next day! :D
Next time i will try to take it during sunset... though the angle's abit tough...
The pic was taken a few months back when there was a full moon... of cos like usual, this is a copy of the pic with lesser resolution. Can get the original one from me ;p
