The one who did these has a very skillful hands. That's wonderfully done!
I have two entries for ABC Wednesday, you can check it HERE and HERE. Happy mid-week to you!
I saw some in the Singapore Zoo, but these are from elsewhere, rught?
The men in my photos, I remember they were supposed to be Malay men. May be Malays in Sarawak wear different clothes.
In 1975, I went to Canada and then to NZ. in 1990, I came to Singapore. I was very surprised the Muslim women changed their clothing to Baju Kurong and Tudong their head. Before I left in 1975, the women had a lacy scarf.
What do you wear? You are just as shy as you boys. We don't see your photo.

TERRIFYING dragons! OK, not really. But pretty TERRIFIC.

Wow, those topiaries look fantastic! And I love the way they dressed the topiaries up.
I love topiaries they are awesome to watch and wonder how the person could form such beauty. My first time to see a dragon topiary. Like it!
