Is this Singapore? Looks like a segment the Stonehedge at Salisbury
Plain, England. Tiny Singapore certainly is not lacking in natural
and historical heritage beyond those in the museums and Fort
Caning areas.
If we look hard enough and search further into the remaining
wild areas , who knows what else we might find. Perhaps, more
living artefacts that will certainly the heighten efforts of
nature heritage conservation groups like Wild Singapore. (:>
