I took many pictures and movies at the Night Safari. Given that I was
shooting at night without a flash at moving animals, I'm surprised they
show anything at all. Nevertheless, some did come out at least to
extent that you make out what the animal is and what it is doing. In
any case, I feel I must declare that I don't think any of these pictures
do the Night Safari experience justice.

| Even if you didn't look at the flowers, the Orchid Garden is a pleasant
place to walk.
| Yours truly.
Sorry the picture is slightly crocked; I balanced my
camera on my backpack.
| The center of each flower on this hanging plant has an odd, out-of-focus
look simply due to its unusual coloring.
| I think this flower looks like a spider.

|
| These flowers remind me of Star Wars fighters, both X-wings and TIE
Fighters: they have the split petal/wings of X-Wings and the flattened
face of TIE fighters. Do you see it?
| Pretty. What can I say? It's a flower with a landing pad.
In
the full-sized image, it's possible to imagine that the stigma is the
head of an alien creature, complete with eyes and nostrils.
| Plants leaves that are green on top, red on bottom. Neat!
| A really bright green tree, the strangest color I've seen.

| Ibid, just darker.
| Hear no evil, see no evil, speak on evil.
| Besides being an attractive flower, the curve/shape of the center part
would make an artistic fountain spout.

| Red spots on a white orchid, plus a stigma that looks like an electrical plug or even a resister.
| Spotted maroon dots on a yellow orchid.
| This plant looks like a stack of flamingos.
| More funky plants.

| A turtle and some fish.
| Closer-up.
| The first in a series of okay photos of yours truly posing in a cave
behind a waterfall.
Taken with my camera's timer function.

| The entrance to Singapore's Night Safari.
| The resort (gift shop, restaurants, stage, etc.).
| A movie of dancing in the resort. Notice that some people (paid actors
I assume) are in costume.
| More dancing and drumming (another movie).

Artificially brightened.

leopard.)
