Blue skies and colorful scenery

The air was still terribly hazy this morning. But starting in the early afternoon we could perceive a shift and within a few hours conditions had returned to "moderate." That translates to not great, but not so bad -- maybe like the worst air pollution days in the Bay Area.
We headed to the central part of Singapore, had lunch at the hawker center on Maxwell Road, visited the Singapore city museum at the Urban Redevelopment Authority, and then walked over to historic Fort Canning Park. It was nice to able to breathe deeply!

Great photos. Crappy skies...pollution! I did not realize Singapore was similar air quality to China. Love the photo of the two set of spiral staircase. It appears a new set was built and they left the old behind?
