I've been thinking about my One City, One Lens project.
Maybe I should fire it up again during the upcoming trip to Hong Kong in December? There's just so much energy there. I remember Taiwan/28 and Melbourne/20. HK would be rich pickings.
I can smell the vibrancy already...

on private property
There are times when people tell me what do to with my property. Depending on the weather, my feelings have ranged from bemusement to a metaphorical fist-in-the-face response.
I came close to the latter feeling yesterday when someone updated me on the situation of the MRT track jumper's widow.
It seems that, with half-a-million voluntary donations to the widow, some green-eyed monsters are calling for the creation of a trust fund, essentially limiting the amount that the widow may withdraw at any one time.
I don't care if she spends it all at the casinos.
Has it occurred to anyone that telling a person what he/she can or cannot do with his/her property is communism?
