The Lion Head is an icon you will find almost everywhere in Singapore. The symbol that makes Singapore distinct among the South East Asian countries giving the Island inhabitants and foreigners a sense of patriotism.
The Lion Head in this photo is just one among thousands of similar symbol you will find all over Singapore. This photo was shot along Orchard's famous touristic sidewalk. Etched on a bronze surface on top of a 3 foot pole marking the pedestrian, this symbols somehow for me represents the prosperous environment you see in Orchard.
Orchard is one if not the most famous shopping district in Singapore. There are more than 10 shopping centers here as well as most of the five star hotels. Takashimaya, Paragon and Tangs are just some of the trendiest malls along this street bursting a variety of products from Branded Clothing to Memorable Souvenirs. Truly a shoppers haven!
