11 September 2015 – Impressive during the day and simply surreal at night, the supertrees would have to be the highlight of any visit to Gardens by the Bay, Singapore’s stunning 101 hectare nature park.

The trees are vertical gardens, each standing between 25 to 50 metres tall, and during the night they come alive with a spectacular display of colourful lights.

There are twelve trees within the Supertree Grove (with six others in separate locations at the Gardens).

A long exposure at the Supertree Grove creates an image with a curious mix of colours. The orangey sky was a result of the Southeast Asian haze, which was particularly bad in 2015 (though it does enhance the alienness of the landscape).
