Up in the trees in Singapore

The Tree Top Walk in the Singapore National Park

There are parks (2) in Singapore that hug the trees, high in the air you can stroll along and see "what it's like up there".  I imagine that in that climate the trees are quite tall so you would really "get high".
You can look in the address under the top photo or go to:

You will find dynamite photos that I can show only a couple of, so take the time and have a look-see.
I also know that most of us will probably never have the opportunity to go there and that makes it even more enticing to take a peek.

This is an open/covered treetop walk, a long one too.

  A note to start:  Please click and enlarge the photos to fully enjoy these magnificent views, the bigger the better.

  September 12, 1964 was the date of birth for Canyonlands National Park.  It's located near Moab, Utah and encompasses a lot in its 357,000 plus acres.
  The Green River and Colorado River have carved deep into the Colorado Plateau to leave what from the air must appear to be a maze.  The canyons are but one part of this wonderful place.
  There are areas with some greenery but here in this country they are sparse and few.
  About half a million visitors come each year to see the wonders or hike and camp, I think I'd wear sturdy boots out here but I'm a sissy.
  Enlarge the photos and enjoy.
This is entry 1201, sometimes that feels like a long time, others not so much.

Today, something different...

...a look at parks in winter,
my source of information, has a bit of a splinter,
they're working over there, making changes I presume,
and I hope that they come on line so we may resume.

I have tried to use the alphabet to find the parks I choose,
and because I don't know them all, we were bound to lose;
so today I found some photos, selected parks in whites,
a look at some beauty, when our season here really bites.
