Recently I visited the famous Tiger Balm Gardens (now Haw Par Villa; henceforth referred so) in Singapore. It was different experience and I want to highlight one particular feature of this place. The "Ten courts of Hell" in Buddhism and Chinese mythology. Rather I describe them in words, I am going to post a bunch a pictures I shot at this place.
All the photographs were shot by me on Samsung Galaxy S2 smartphone. Hence the quality of the pictures aren't comparable to a high end camera. Before you further proceed, I need to warn that some of these images are very graphic and might not be a pleasant scene.

Why garden snakes are dangerous?
Garden Grass Snakes also known as Garter Snakes (Thamnophissirtalis) can be dangerous.
Yes, grass snakes, not rattlesnakes. Here's why.
A couple in Sweetwater, Texas, had a lot of potted plants. During a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them indoors to protect them from a possible freeze.
It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden in one of the plants. When it had warmed up, it slithered out and the wife saw it go under the sofa.
