On this day, Pacific Ocean was particularly calm. There were trains of rolling waves, making neither splash nor noise.
Henderson Waves
Distance: 0.3 km
Walking Time: 05 mins
At 36 metres above Henderson Road, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It was built to connect the two hills of Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill.
The bridge has a unique wave-form made up of seven undulating curved steel “ribs” that alternately rise over and under its deck. The curved “ribs” form alcoves that function as shelters with seats within.
Slats of yellow balau wood, an all-weather timber found in South-East Asia, are used in the decking. Look out for carvings on the slats marking the height you are at on various points along the bridge.
The wave-forms will be lit with attractive LED light from 7pm to 7am daily, giving the bridge an illuminative glow.

On Tuesday morning the trade winds had shifted and the morning news warned of heavy surf. As I took my morning walk around the Hilton property, the forecast was right on the mark.

"God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform.
He plants His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm."
~ William Cowper
The waves were cresting pretty far out and rolling in so violently that there was a lot of sea foam from it. A lot of dead minnows along the high tide line too, battered by the storm.
