what. buoys seen (06 February 2019)
where. Marina Bay, Singapore
remarks. A series of yellow buoys in Marina Bay, in the stretch separating Gardens by the Bay East and West, just before the Marina Barrage. In the direction towards the Marina Barrage, a row of 5 buoys can be seen. The first, third and last buoys have signs on them on their fronts and backs: "DANGER CAUTION TO ALL BOATERS BARRAGE DOWNSTREAM BOATS PROHIBITED BEYOND BUOYED EXCLUSION ZONE 300m DOWNSTREAM", while the second and the fourth have a sign on them that says: "NO ENTRY".
Nearer to Marina Barrage, another series of barriers can be seen. This series is composed of 3 bigger yellow buoys, 7 smaller yellow buoys, and some floating barriers. Of the bigger buoys, the one nearest to the shore on the side of Gardens by the Bay West has a sign that says: "DANGER NO ENTRY". While the other two bigger yellow buoys also bear signs, it is unclear what the signs say. Printed on both sides of each of the 7 smaller buoys are the words: "KEEP OUT".
The first three photographs were taken from the shore where the Marina Barrage building is located while the last was taken from the Marina Barrage.
note. Malay for lighthouse: rumah api; Mandarin Chinese for lighthouse: 灯塔 (simplified script; dēngtǎ), 燈塔 (traditional script; dēngtǎ); Tamil for lighthouse: கலங்கரை விளக்கம் (kalaṅkarai viḷakkam)
