Vibrant yellow centre of purple waterlily which make the flower glows and eye-catching in the pot. Yellow-Purple forms the best contrast in colours combo.

The Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery (also known as the Twin Groves Temple) is a large Buddhist temple complex situated in the Toa Payoh district of Singapore.
We were keen to visit this temple as my parents had done so back in the 1960s, though little of the present structure was recognisable from their photos since the complex has been greatly enhanced and expanded since the 1970s, all in traditional Chinese style. There were a few items here we did recognise though in the sculptures of the main prayer hall (where photography is no longer allowed) and the curious painted wooden dragon-fish hanging in a minor corner, that had intrigued me in one of the old 60s slides (I'd been determined not to leave till we'd found that, despite arriving so close to closing time!).
Today the surroundings of the temple seem rather unsympathetic, with concrete apartment blocks of Toa Payoh's extensive housing estates and a busy main road closing in on the complex from all sides.

Apologies for serious camera shake, it was getting late on a very dull afternoon!

Since Indonesia, dad has been using my point and shoot, which means the three of us are usually off in separate areas taking pictures with our own cameras :) I had mom and dad gather for this shot!
At each corner of the upper levels is a bell, and it was breezy today, so they were making quite a racket. (The noise they make is not bell-like, it's more like clanging metal.) And yet it was still peaceful there.
One type of waterlily with purple flower (Nymphaea sp.) planted in a courtyard of Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery.
This monastery is a large complex of many amazing buildings. You can see it from the highway on the way to the airport, and today I finally got to see it (my parents have been before).
It was really pretty, and peaceful (and empty). But holy hell it was hot today.
