Fort Canning Park

The Allscripts office is on the 13th floor (no superstition here), with nice views of the city, marina, and a park that is next door to the building my apartment is in.  I would sit at my desk and look at the park and realized, those trees are taller than 13 storeys, that can't be right.  Turns out to be a 60m high hill in the middle of town called Fort Canning Park.  It was the site of Raffles', the founder of Singapore, first residence and an important fort for the British army.  Today it's a public park with gardens, heritage trees, preserved historical elements, and an outdoor concert space (they were setting up for Garbage the day I took these pictures).
