Rural Views

I’m here again and again.

It doesn’t look like much – but it has wonderful views.

The environment is a work of art.

IMG_20150929_0018 640

The mood is always leisurely.

IMG_20150929_0019 640

The debris is zen.

IMG_20150929_0020 640

There’s artless beauty here.

I’m happy to be marooned here.

Searching Waiting Thinking

It’s that existential condition, of always searching, waiting and thinking.

We can only have images of ourselves.

The glimmer is often only a few steps away.

Singapore Speaks Monochrome

Singapore is a work in progress, and the physical landscape never fails to remind you of this.

There could be cranes in the sky in built-up areas, and there could be views like the one below.

Occasionally, it gets a bit postmodern, like this:

_MG_0783 640

The inside wants to be outside.

_MG_0785 640

Our desires/appetites/wants/needs are very well structured and catered to.

_MG_9471 640

_MG_9475 640

_MG_9479 (2) 640

Everything is for sale.

_MG_9489 (2) 640

Cities are places where appetites are met.

Appetites transcend national boundaries …

_MG_0831 640

Pig organ soup, anyone? It’s actually quite yummy.

_MG_9560 (2) 640

Waiting.

_MG_9487 (2) 640

Doing.

_MG_9578 (2) 640

Working.

_MG_9606 640

Cooking.

_MG_9486 (2) 640

Buildings are structures of desires.

_MG_9746 640

There’s ambition in the architecture.

_MG_9492 (2) 640

These are homely desires.

_MG_9763 640

There’s an architecture of modernity.

_MG_9483 (2) 640

An architecture of nationhood.

_MG_9574 640

And space in which we simply do nothing at all.

Thanks for reading!
