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.)

...feeling nostalgic concerning the traveling experiences i embraced in previous years. it feels like some of my air that got caught by this crisis and it's being hard to get it back.
... also feeling like a "photographer" (full of myself writing this, huh?:p) who lives in a very poor moment in photography creativity. it is like i only have one tiny brush to paint a whole wall...
Under the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Reminds me of home - where I belong, and where I keep my heart and soul.
A wreath I made in memory of my pen pal of 51 years. The book pages represent her career as a librarian, the music notes is for her being in a bag pipe band and the little heart is for us. She is forever in the stars and in my heart.
I ran across this old house on a cloudy afternoon in the countryside of northern Door County, Wisconsin. I wonder what memories this place holds for those who lived there. View On Black
A small corner of a derelict Farm House in Belgium that was dedicated to the memory of a fallen family member.
I've been coming to this spot since at least 2012, and shooting around 5 Points. The same spot, looking for new ways to photograph it with new faces in tow. Those faces become familiar, and then the challenge goes up a notch: same spot with someone you know a little better. The cycle continues, and either you give up because everything looks the same, or you never stop looking for what you've missed.
I've lived in the same city my whole life, and I'm probably stuck here forever. But I just met Zoe for the first time last month, and I've never taken a photo this way in this spot. I wasn't a photographer 6 and a half years ago, and I didn't shoot in 5 points until 5 years ago. Things seem stagnant and static when you've spent a lot of time in the same spot, but that doesn't mean they are.

Over a decade ago, I grew up watching trains at this exact spot. A sight that was common was the countless amount of GMD SD40-2s the CP rostered at the time where at least one or more would be leading a train every day. Fast forward to 2020, this scene was recreated with two of CPs veteran units helping a troublesome 198 get to its destination safely. CP 6068 leads 198 thru Northbrook.
Naousa, Paros, Greece
Some images from various visits to Greece. They are old but I clearly remember taking each of them. A little series, two per day for a week or so.
