The Terminal - John's Park

得失只一念 風景不轉心境轉 | 煩惱來自偏執一切也依戀 | 風吹草動 命途亂了我不亂 | 交出了平常心再隨緣

Postcrossing #21

Here is a postcard from Singapore. It shows the aerial view of the Esplanade and Marina Bay. The most famous building must be The Esplanade Theatres on the Bay (濱海藝術中心) . It contains a Concert Hall which seats about 1,600 and a Theatre with a capacity of about 2,000 for the performing arts. The building was designed from 1995. And the building looks like a durian or a pair of eyes from fly. Personally I quite like the design of such building as it could reflect the local atmosphere.

the first stamp is about Trolley Bus. Trolley bus was part of the public transport in Singapore. It started its operation in 1926 and closed in 1962. Seems now the services are replaced by motor buses. And the stamp was released in 1997, from a series showing old transportation in Singapore.

The second stamp is released in 2007. It shows a Crimson Sunbird 黃腰太陽鳥. They usually live in tropical southern Asia. And the bird is the national bird of Singapore.

The third stamp shows a Moorish idol 鐮魚. They usually live at tropical areas. And the stamp was released in 2001.

A postcard from Japan! It takes 4 days to travel to Hong Kong. The postcard shows a scene from a reservoir (I guess is Kanoko Dam) in Hokkaido in Japan. And the reservoir is surrounded by many natural forests.

And the right stamp is a Japanese distinctive stamp, featuring an eastern honey bee with a pink flower. And the stamp on the left is Clematis 鐵線蓮. And it is from the 2013 seasonal (summer) flower series.

A postcard from Yilan (宜蘭), Taiwan! It takes 3 days to travel to Hong Kong. The postcard shows the night view of the art center 國立傳統藝術中心. 傳藝 is the short form of the center. And some bloggers said that it is quite rare that the museum opens at night, and will only when there are big events like 傳藝 66 夜 in this summer.
