Distinguishing Between Stars and Twinkling Lights in the Singapore Skyline

Anybody who has seen James Cameron's Avatar will feel a sense of familiarity when they step through the gates of the Marina Sands Gardens by the Bay.
This fantasy tourist attraction lights up the imagination and the skyline with artificial super trees. The trees twinkle in the night time, lit up with all colours of the rainbow, shooting across the stems that fan out of the large trunks.

It is easy to lose yourself (and members of your family) as you walk through the gardens in the dark whilst staring up at the sky. Occasionally bumping into tourists and stumbling over cracks in the pavement, I advise (from personal experience) you take care.
Struck with awe, necks bent upright, all tourists are subject to paying no attention to where their feet guide them. This is not warned in the brochures.
Light Show from 9:00pm.

My only criticism is the mosquitoes. I am blessed with an allergy to mosquito bites. So, naturally I struggled to cope with the bites I collected along our journey through the gardens.
