Somehow, the flooring suggests that the Henderson Waves is made out of concrete.
But I was wrong! The Henderson Waves is not fully concrete but has a wooden base! Woooot! A magnificent structure and I was awed by the snake like appearance. It looks kinda long, about 300m in fact, but once you're on it, the distance isn't much of a problem. You'll be cursing at the sun, and if you're afraid of heights, will be doubling up to the other end in a jiffy.
The information board tells us that the bridge is modelled after a math formula. Frankly speaking, it felt like a gimmick. I suspect that they came up with the math formula thingy AFTER the bridge was built. lolx.
Just imagine, the group of architects huddling around;
Leader: What should we tell the public about the concept of our design!?
A: Is it really necessary? It was built out of pure boredom! There settle!
B: Haiya... Tell them its the price of COE lah. Go UP Go down Go UP Go down.
A: Oh yah hor... Like stock market liddat.
Leader: WTH? Can we come up with something green?
B: Should we say its modelled after a snake?
A: I know, how bout we silence them by saying its from a math formula! Taddaaaa!
Leader: Great! That's the best crap I've ever seen coming out from your mouth! You're promoted!
The arches double up as a shelter from the sun. Doesn't provide much shelter from the rain though. If it rains, you're screwed. Period.
Wide as an open highway...
It is quite high up but there's not much to see except the boring road and some housing estates. If only it spans Orchard Road. There's be a hell lot of stuff to see then!
Stairway to heaven.
This is what you'll see if you look over the edge.
Soul-searching? Nah...
Stay tuned for Part 3!

Thanks for blogging about these waves. I landed here after using a search engine to get a better look at them. Thanks for the details and the pics.
I was thinking that the whole bridge was a wave and that I'd get nauseated walking up and down, up and down. lol I'm certainly glad to know it's not like I thought it was (although I'm thinking I'd never get a chance to see them in real life anyway lol)
