Street Art : The Millionaire Life In A Flash - PhotoHunt

PhotoHunt theme : Street Art/Flash

We were sending some guests off at Singapore Changi Airport and chanced upon this stunning piece of optical illusion, "The Millioniare Life" which is created by U.S. 3D art maestro Kurt Wenner specially for Changi Airport.

Measuring 9m by 9m and 3m high, this giant 3D street art is currently spread on a digitally scanned canvas across the marble floor of the Terminal 3 Departure Hall.

Visitors can actually walk on it, sit on it and take pictures with it. A photo booth allows visitors to pose with the image and have pictures e-mailed to them.

We were like two big kids, taking turns to pose and have fun having our ‘Millionaire’ photos taken at this art installation. :D

We participated in the ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ retail promotion which will run for a period of six months from 12 May to 11 November 2012. Organised by Changi Airport Group (CAG), one lucky winner could be a millionaire in a flash with its grand prize of S$1 million. I am keeping my fingers crossed.:P

The World's First Butterfly Park in an Airport - RT/WW

The world's first Butterfly Garden in an airport is located in Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3’s Departure Transit Lounge. I was amazed to discover this man-made tropical butterfly habitat which is home to more than 1,000 free-roaming butterflies comprising 47 species native to Singapore and Malaysia.

The butterflies are so tamed that you can see them fluttering around visitors or feeding on flowers and fruits at close range. If you are lucky, one may land on your outstretched hand for a cool photo. :P

Besides flowering plants and lush greenery, the two-storey garden also features a 6 metre waterfall which keeps the garden cool even on a hot day.


I'm particularly impressed with the education corners within the garden where educational panels displaying interesting facts on butterflies help visitors to gain a deeper understanding on them.

At the Emergence Enclosure, be amazed by the transformation of butterflies from pupae. I saw caterpillars and pupae,  even several  young adult butterflies waiting to take their first flight. A rare treat for a city-dweller!

What a unique find in an airport!
