Mixed use development in the Bugis District Singapore with hotel, offices and high end residential. Architect: Ole Scheeren. 2018. The project is an historic collaboration between the governments of Singapore and Malaysia through their respective state investment arms.
more than 30 years ago a trip to the province meant stepping back in time . provincial life was a laid back rural community. people in those days will take a stroll in the park just before dusk and would normally be home before it gets too dark. so for the city dweller a quick break in the province is a welcome relief from the busy , chaotic city life. fast forward 30 years later, 2019, this is how most popular provinces look now, new malls, more establishments and other modern conveniences, a replica of a major city in a smaller scale.

This is what they look like in mid development stage.

You Should Know How the Whole of Humanity Has Developed to the Present Day (Part Two)
Introduction
Almighty God says, "All of His work is the most actual work. He carries out His work according to the development of the times, and He carries out His most actual work according to the changes of things. For Him, carrying out work is akin to administering medicine to an illness; He observes while doing His work; He works according to His observations. In every stage of His work, He is capable of expressing His ample wisdom and expressing His ample ability; He reveals His ample wisdom and ample authority according to the work of that particular age and allows any of those people brought back by Him during those ages to see His entire disposition. He supplies people’s needs and carries out the work He should do according to the work that must be done in each age; He supplies people’s needs according to the degree to which Satan has corrupted them."

White-eared Tree Frog (Feihyla [Rhacophorus] kajau) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
The eggs of Feihyla kajau are deposited on a leaf overhanging a small stream or pools of water. They will hang there until the tadpoles are ready to hatch at which point they will wriggle out and drop down into the water below where they will have to deal with a variety of predators. Developing this way gives the tadpoles a headstart before having to contend with various predators. Unfortunately for them, they're not totally safe in their egg clusters either. I had begun a self-assigned project where I hiked out every night to the same stream to photograph the same clutch of eggs night after night to capture their development. I would estimate that the eggs were about 3/4ths done with their development when I noticed that one egg/embryo was missing and another looked as if it had been scrambled in its gel casing. I returned again the next night to continue my series and all the embryos were missing, and their was just the gel hanging there, resembling more than anything else some snot. I was actually pretty sad for the eggs/embryos, I had become somewhat invested in their growth and development. Of course I can't know for sure what had happened to them but I suspect wasps, I have seen wasps taking out individual eggs before in Panama leaving the gel behind, it seemed similar to what had happened to the egg mass I was photographing but in the end I don't know. There were plenty of other eggs in the area but I had foolishly only been photographing the one consistently, this is a photo of a group from just a few meters away that fared better than the ones I was observing.

"At a time when $700 billion can be found overnight to bail out the richest bankers in the world and $1000 billion can be spent on one single “war,” when sovereign wealth funds in a few rich countries alone are at $2500 billion and growing, it stretches credulity when we are told that the world can’t find an extra $18 billion a year to save the lives of millions of children and women and meet the basic needs of the majority of the world’s population."

Another 40 million people have been pushed into hunger in 2008 primarily due to higher food prices, according to preliminary estimates published by FAO. This brings the overall number of undernourished people in the world to 963 million, compared to 923 million in 2007 and the ongoing financial and economic crisis could tip even more people into hunger and poverty, FAO warned.
Nearly one billion people go hungry each day, 65 percent of them in just seven countries: India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Ethiopia and Congo, reported the UN food agency ( www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/8836/ ). “For millions of people in developing countries, eating the minimum amount of food every day to live an active and healthy life is a distant dream”, said FAO’ Assistant Director-General Hafez Ghanem.
The globalisation had to ensure the maximum good for the maximum numbers around the world and not just the privileged few who got richer under the corrupt political regime. It is true that every successful economy is a market economy, the problem lay in the way it evolved in the corrupt regime which privatised profits and socialised losses. That is not capitalism. The current crisis showed that system was inadequate to cope with the changing situation. The societies needed to practise social responsibility throughout their business, ensuring that they did not make profits by harming lives, livelihoods and the environment.
Eight years ago, in 2000, leaders of 189 countries signed the Millennium Declaration agreeing to do everything in their power to end poverty. They pledged to do this by achieving the Millennium Development Goals, a roadmap to end extreme poverty by 2015. Are we even half way to meeting the eight Millennium Development Goals?
Still, every day, 50,000 people die as a result of extreme poverty and the gap between rich and poor people is increasing. Nearly half the world’s population live in poverty, 70% are women.
We have the power to change this. Push your governments for peace, more and better aid, debt cancellation, education for all boys and girls, healthcare, trade justice, gender equality and public accountability.
Say No To Unfair Social System!
Say No To Corrupt Political Regime!
Say No To Unfair World Order!!!
Say No To Unfair Trade!!!!
Fight for peace!
Fight against hunger!!
We can make 'War, Terrorism and Hunger History' in our lifetime!!!
My second visit to the Horsham Gates development to capture golden hour images resulte from multiple passes with the sensation that there were further images to be had in good light.
2nd visit now complete and I'm not sure I need to return.

Alien art
We have been developed according to the tree of life.
The current biological development-stage is not enjoyable. We suffer from illnesses (mentally and physically), from aggressions we do to each other, etc.
We are that what nature could do until now in our biological development. Our societies couldn’t do much either to lead us to a better life. We are stuck, our scientific, technological and psychological knowledges are no help too. We kill other human beings, inflicting suffering to each other. We are not in a proper stage of our biological development, we didn’t biologically develop enough. We have a lot of warriors and guns ready to kill others. We prepare us and plan for the very sad actions.
Maybe some aliens are very lucky that they could able to pass this horrible stage we are in now.
We are not able get it that "killing any human being for any reason is not acceptable". Our feelings and emotions put us on a road which doesn’t have any exits.
This is part of a larger series of floral portraits. If interested, more of this series can be found at my website. I also have a Facebook page for the series, here: www.facebook.com/BuckChristensenFloralPortraits
From a little while back, the field that is under consderation for development for housing.. we all need a little space.

Hope your doing great!
Thanks for looking,

And of course especially here!
I had an opportunity to explore the construction site for the future city centre and captured a few interesting perspectives.
It was a rainy day in Maine on Oct 23. During a brief "let-up" in the rain I took some quick photos of what's left of my front flower garden. In particular I have four dahlias that are still flowering non-stop, despite it now being late October; we still haven't had a frost where I live in Auburn, Maine! Unusual and worrisome. Here's a macro photo of a "Passion Fruit" "Venti" dahlia. The round part is a little smaller than a ping-pong ball.

The new Wedge development in Harris Green. I really love the design of this new building. It's just way to short for the design in my opinion. If it would have been another 10 stories it would have been a signature building downtown. I hope everyone has a great weekend. 😃
It's midnight right now so I'll catch up on everyone's photos tomorrow. :-)
