If you think foxes don't belong in the city, just remember we destroyed their habitat to build our own.
A local paper In Milwaukee recently did an interview with me, if you are interested in reading it here is the link:

Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
Despite the government's efforts to create many green spaces, Singapore looks like a concrete city from some perspectives.
the contrast between good weather and bad can be so great some days, especially in low evening light. The last suns rays often stay under the advancing clouds till the very last minute. I love these conditions, as the beach just comes alive. Concrete and gold is by Foo Fighters, and is as good a title as any.

Let me breath you in and breath the words in your mouth
Inside your shivering, the silence shouts so loud
I just want to, I just want to stay around
And while my heart beats,
I promise I won't let you down
If I'm somewhere else it doesn't mean that I don't see
That you don't trust yourself,
That's why you don't trust me
It makes me crazy,
When you're crazy, you don't speak
You think you know me,
But what you know is just skin deep
If you keep building these walls,
Brick by brick towers so tall
Soon I won't see you at all, until the concrete angel falls
I knew who you were from the start,
But now I don't know who you are
Soon there will be nothing at all,
Until the concrete angel falls www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFz10R529g&ab_channel=Gareth...
Another shot of the basement car park at the University of Melbourne. It is an unusual design, quite contemporary at the time, both in terms of aesthetic as well as design. The car park was used in the filming of Mad Max.
04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.
Made up of over 700 miles of man made "concrete and pipe" river, the California Aqueduct system provides water to Los Angeles County and it's population of over 10 million. That's more people than 42 States have. For years now farmers haven't been getting the water they're allotted and paid for due to several reasons that I'm not going to get into, political according to farmers, environmental according to politicians. Los Angeles gets its water, while many farms have reverted to basically desert waste land. Took this picture off I-5 near Patterson California at the top of a hillside scenic view point.

Concrete jungle is the perfect place for those two insane asshat clowns that embarrassed us again in the "debate" last night.
