Flyer

The Singapore kind...
Last night I went out for a work function and we went for a twilight ride on the Singapore Flyer.  It is essentially a giant ferris wheel.  I drive by it every time I go to the airport or am on my way home from the airport but have never been on it.

This is obviously not the flyer but a good picture of downtown Singapore:

It is very hard to get a good picture of the complete wheel from below:

 You start out by getting into a big observation tube:

And for the next 30 minutes you make your way around the circle and get some great views of Singapore (there is a little glare because of the glass)...

 

It was fun and was pretty since the colors of the wheel kept changing...as you can see above it was both blue and pink.

It was a nice thing to do and especially nice that I did not have to pay the admission price.  However, it is good to tick another thing off of the Singapore to-do list.
