I used to be wary about taking photos at airports because so many airports and shopping malls have tight security and forbid photos. However, both Heathrow and Changi airport have seasonal displays where tourists are invited to take photos.
Firstly, the souvenir shops offer opportunities.
Here I am with a cardboard cutout of HM The Queen.
For example, leaving Heathrow, as you reach the children's play area on your right, you see on your left a display with face holes for you to pose for a family photo or even a selfie.
Arriving at Changi airport in Singapore you see photo opportunities all over the place. My favourites include:
1 The Butterfly Park.
2 The Wings at Changi, Singapore.
3 Seasonal displays for Xmas and Easter at Changi in departure halls and arrivals.
4 The green wall and palm trees at passport control arrival hall at Changi.
5 The giant people sculpture, arrival fror overseas at Changi for passport check on entering Singapore.
6 Singapore's Changi Airport luggage arrival carousels.
7 Singapore's Changi Airport exterior flowers and plants.
Get on the train at Changi and then off the MRT to admire Gardens by the Bay.
You might be tempted to spend the time and money for a half day or day inside the giant greenhouses with gardens from around the world and the multi-storey indoor waterfall.
8 Singapore airport roadway bridges and borders.
9 London's stations - inside and outside. For example, Queen Victoria; Sherlock at Baker Street.
10 Singapore's train station artwork. For example, amusing cartoons at Newton MRT station.
