This is a record of my own DIY (Do It Yourself) tour that included Singapore's Marina Reservoir and the surrounding areas. Starting at the Exit E of MRT (NE 5) Clarke Quay Station and ending at MRT (CE1, DT16) Bayfront Station. Feel free to follow my journey in a way that suits your health condition, fitness level, and pace, to explore and capture your fond memories of Singapore.
Marina Reservoir is filled with waterfront and reservoir scenery, wall murals, statues, sculptures, heritage buildings, food centres, shopping malls, restarants, eateries, pubs, cafes, people, buildings and structures that are well worth capturing.

The current Coleman Bridge was built in 1990. But it retained architectural and decorative features of the 1886 bridge, such as the ornate columns, lamp posts, railing, and arched support.

4) The Riverwalk Columns Waterfalls
This waterfall is unique because it is made up of many mini waterfalls from columns.
