Checking Flight Times

Just arrived to Singapore's lovely Changi airport after an 18-hour flight from JFK. Plane to Yangon leaves in about 3 hours. There's the usual boards displaying the departure times (in multiple colors), and the Starbucks, and the designer stores, but you also have palm gardens (shown), and saltwater aquariums, and saffron-robed monks in flip-flops. A species-rich community of air travelers. I'm sipping a green tea and trying not to fall asleep.

Kinetic Rain

New art installation at the Departure Hall of Terminal 1 at Changi Airport in Singapore. Six hundred and eight rain droplets made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper hanging by thin steel ropes. I pass through Singapore Airport quite a bit on my way to Southeast Asia and can't wait to spend some time with this stunning kinetic sculpture. [NOTE: "Kinetic Rain" was designed by the Berlin firm ART+COM].
