Light, we can't live without it but we can certainly consume less energy in the process.

That’s what i-Light Marina Bay 15 October to 7 November aims to showcase with 25 light art installations along Marina Bay’s shores.

Asia’s first sustainable light art festival that marries art with new technology challenges artists, designers and architects -- which include Sun Yu Li, Chris Bosse, and Mark Hammer -- to make copious use of light-emitting diodes (LED), solar power, good ol’ elbow grease, and even discarded cooking oil in their creations.

市区重建局首次举办的亚洲首个注重可持续发展的灯光艺术节“照亮滨海湾”,点亮滨海湾一带的艺术魅力。
作为一个注重环保及可持续性的艺术节,艺术品都采用了节能技术与LED灯泡,将资源浪费减至最低。而在某些艺术品当中,如整个艺术节最大型的作品"My Public Garden"就利用从废弃了的食用油转化而成的生物燃料来发电,而另一个以钓鱼杆为造型的作品"Wattfish"就需要依靠人们转动手柄来将动力转化成电力,点亮钓鱼杆上的灯泡。

Upper Peirce Reservoir

Originally known as the Kalang River Reservoir, Singapore's second reservoir was impounded across the lower reaches of the Kalang River in 1910. In 1922, it was renamed Peirce Reservoir in commendation of the services of Robert Peirce, who was the municipal engineer of Singapore from 1901 to 1916.
In late 1960s, due to increasing demand for water and the need to increase the capacity of Peirce Reservoir, a higher dam was constructed upstream of the existing dam at Peirce Reservoir in 1970.
In 1975, a major water supply project to develop new water resources was undertaken to support Singapore's rapid housing and industrialisation programmes. A dam was constructed at the upper reaches of the Peirce Reservoir, forming the Upper and Lower Peirce Reservoirs.
Upper Peirce Reservoir was officially opened by then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew on 27 February 1977. The second and largest reservoir of Singapore has a capacity of 27.8 million of water over 304 hectares of water surface.

日落的景象和日出同样壮观、绮丽,而且神秘、迷人。如果有机会观日落,它会使你神往:太阳静静地躺在西方地平线上,变得如此之大,颜色是那样深黄、殷红;它缓缓坠落,接近地平线时竟缩身变扁。若天空有云,你会看见灿烂的晚霞;全天无云,不要忘记回头,你会发现背后的天空中现出神秘的蓝灰色暗弧,暗弧外面还镶有明显的亮弧。而在暗弧和亮弧上升的同时,西方天空还会出现迷人的紫光,随着太阳的坠落,紫光下移,接近地平线时才消失。
