Giant Metal Balls Got Me Excited!

Thu, 09 Jun 2016

Been to somewhere warm and saw some gigantic metal balls. For those of you who have been following my blog will know that over the past few weeks I have been travelling. I have been to a tropical location, saw some humongous metal balls that got me jumping like a kid, doing cartwheels, and snapping away. I love those reflections and clear blue skies. Where did I visit?

Please write your guesses in the comments below. To give everyone an equal chance to guess, I will reveal the location some time on Saturday (June 11) EST time. So please check back on Sunday if you are reading this post before or on June 11.

What an interesting photograph ! I tried to zoom in the photo to see if I could get a hint of the place you were in but couldn't get a clue of where you were. I guess it's somewhere in Asia ? Perhaps Malaysia? Or the Philippines ?

At first I thought you'd taken this photo with a fisheye lens. Fantastic capture Alex. I found a park in a country town on a Saturday afternoon motorcycle ride recently with giant stone balls.
My guess is Singapore.

Wow amazing

Good idea with the shot. Sorry for not visiting your blog regularly. Been busy travelling, another trip coming end of this month and also nursing a fall (but no broken bones). Hope you have a great time in your travelling.

Those look very like the Petronas Towers reflected in the ball?
Fantastic photo opportunity!

Fantastic!

Gorgeous picture! I like the reflection very much, but also the contrast of the houses. I don't know where you took the photo.

Christine Fri, 10 Jun 2016 16:50:31 +0100

Nice shot, near a big city, but I couldn't guess which one.

Al Sat, 11 Jun 2016 15:42:11 +0100

I'm guessing Chicago.

Super cool reflection!

Hi all, thanks for the comments especially those who participated in the guess. You are really sporting and awesome! I really appreciate your patron to my blog. Very Happy Smiley

*** Quiz Answer ***
SINGAPORE. For those of you interested to find out where these huge metal balls are located, they are in the garden between the Asian Civilizations Museum and Cavenagh Bridge.

Well done to Tony McGurk. The only person that guessed correctly. Amused Smiley

By the way, I realised that I unintentionally placed the location of this photo as an alternative text. So those of you who cheated, I will be more cautious the next time.

I will reply to your individual comments separately. Happy Smiley
