Good evening night dwellers!
5 years ago I made this star trail photo of our Sentosa resort island's Merlion, and posted on this blog site. Why do i share it again? News was out today that works are under way to demolish the tallest Merlion in Singapore. So I thought it would be interesting to share it again.
It was announced in September last year that this 37 meters tall statue is making way for a themed thoroughfare that will link Sentosa's north and south shores. This is a part of the long-term plan to reshape the resort island and the adjacent Pulau Brani into a premier leisure and tourism destination.
The last day of operations for the Sentosa Merlion was 20 October 2019. It was designed by Australian sculptor James Martin and built in 1995. So for the last glimpse of this Merlion current status, check out The Straits Times photo.
That's all for tonight's blog post. Have a great weekend.
