I went for a walk with a group of friends to the Alexandra Canal which have been fully upgraded months ago but I had only found the time to go recently. Weather was balmy with light showers but it was a pleasant walk nevertheless.
Alexandra waterway has been transformed under Public Utilities Board's -Active, Beautiful , Clean Water programme ( ABC Water), into venue for recreations and community bonding near the water.
One end of canal still runs under this little transformed park which has become a favorite resting place for the residents nearby.
walkways along both sides canal for walking, cycling...with bridges linking both sides at interval. I've seen angler around the here too.
Flowers and plants along the canal.

A really nice oasis to have in a big city!
I love that each shots includes some aspect of water. But I really like the composition of the first shot.
Wow, what a transformation! It is a relaxing place for residents to take a stroll.

I see you have grey sky and wet streets too and umbrellas ! just like here !
I drean that one day I may discover such places! I particularly like the flowers and plants along the canal image. (Sorry, I'm so late getting to visit you!)
Isn't it lovely. Congratulations to those who created such a transformation. We have lots of old canals that run through towns in England and could obviously learn a lot from your designers.
