Mapping Moments

I must mention the most comprehensive of Singapore's online maps.  OneMap is a great resource with a wide range of search filters

Showing cultural sites and museums in this example

It is a street map and also a land lot map. You can search a diverse range of data from traffic accidents to the latest house prices, from funeral parlours to recycling bins.

The themes filter even allowed me to identify bird watching spots, cultural sites and museums.  The wireless hot spots are identified and not surprisingly the majority of these feature in the tourist belt along Orchard Road. If you click your mouse on any of the icons then name of the establishment and provider is identified

This map is an absolute boon for any visitor to Singapore as well as for locals. Bookmark it today; I have.

I went for a walk this afternoon with only my mobile phone camera to hand.  This stand of weathered pines captured my attention.

Given that our television forecasters fail so miserably to predict the weather I found this infographic of interest.  It is based on old saying and observations from time when people could discern weather patterns and decipher the behaviour of animals for themselves.
