If an abandoned church finally collapses in the urban forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Perhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid; each cycle of a relationship is valid.” ― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gifts From the Sea
A memorable sunrise at Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. The shot was taken over 2 years ago and time flies. Yet I can still smell the chilly and fresh air when I was snowshoeing to this spot. In that morning I witnessed a perfect sunrise and it was a wish came true. This is probably my last post of 2023, so I wish everyone happy holidays.
My final semestral project 'Colorful memory' was created as memories of places and things which I have connected with my childhood.
A couple of months ago my dad and I went back to his home town. This is his school. This his classroom. More than 80 years later . . .
My final semestral project 'Colorful memory' was created as memories of places and things which I have connected with my childhood.
Sculpted in beautiful marble, the memorial to Colonel Alexander Champion caught my eye during a visit to Bath Abbey.
The lighting was perfect to highlight this lovely detailed memorial.
I discovered its talented creator was one Joseph Nollekens RA (1737 - 1823), born in England.
And Alexander Champion served in the army of the East India Company for two decades. He became the Commander in Chief in 1774.
He died in Bath in 1793.

A collection of vintage toys and trinkets is artfully arranged around an open suitcase, evoking a sense of nostalgia. Among the toys are stuffed animals, a retro doll, and model vehicles, creating a playful yet timeless scene.
Technically, this should be a terrible pic, But I love it. Missed focus, tilted perspective, and all.

Memory tree stands at the exit of extinct extension.
The ocean takes a drop from here.
Steeply, to a depth of Hundreds of Meters.
The tree stands, awkwardly, marking this transition point.
The tree marks the limit, this island can be extended (grown) with reclamation.
The outer edge of reef.
The lagoon, (earlier this used to be!) together with reef, provides safety, and protects the island from many external forces.
When people intervene with nature, things start to go wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When people started migrating, en-mass, into this island, many things started to happen. Some wrong. Some very, very wrong.
Overcrowding and congestion led to many environmentally and socially unfriendly activities.
Houses spurted quickly, on beaches. Lagoons became the next beach.
Houses spurted quickly, on beaches. Lagoons became the next beach.
Houses. More houses...
Until finally the protective lagoon gave up.
Houses filled up every imaginable inch and space.

Vulnerable.
One fine morning, in 1987?, A storm of tidal waves rammed the coastal areas and flooded the Capital island.
It caused massive losses to land and property, opening wide concerns of the environmental sustainability of the island.
The stupid actions of people cannot be reversed.
The island cannot go back to its former glory days.
A huge publicity campaign followed.
The disturbing pictures of this beautiful tropical paradise island faced with immediate extinction brought in sympathies from all over.
Hence, this 'temporary' 180 Million Dollar solution.
A kind donation by the Japanese.
The seawall around the Capital.
(Story coming.)
