You could swing a line of cats strung together in each room! It's the worst kind of development. Sorry I'm so late responding ~ sometimes things get away from me!

How I agree about redevelopment on green spaces, there are so many empty and interesting buildings that could be restored, instead of building more shoe box houses that you can't swing a cat in.

I went back to Nova Scotia some years ago after a long absence, and I was dreading seeing what development had done to the province. A lot of small villages were losing population, and the fields were going back to forest. In some ways I was happy, but in others I was sad. The few "cities" were definitely growing though. I was so excited when I saw that sunrise ~ thank you!

It's a difficult problem, but I think we'll ultimately destroy ourselves if we don't solve it. I'm still hopeful!

I can't wait to see your post on this topic!<br /><br />Chinese New Year celebrations are fun. I'm a particular fan of the lion and dragon dancers ~ well, the fan dancers too!<br /><br />Not deliberate on the 3:01. It was a different day, and I was trying to get 3:00. By the time I got the shot it was 3:01, and I didn't want to reset the minutes! <br /><br />Have a happy week!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-89697627314023982472014-03-03T12:24:28.849-07:002014-03-03T12:24:28.849-07:00Another great collection of photos :)Another great collection of photos :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043065727770116407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-72305053248648978602014-03-03T11:21:02.671-07:002014-03-03T11:21:02.671-07:00I agree far too much house building.

It makes me sick to watch that. In SC we had a lot of that and it was just a bit more noticeable because they had trees that they tore down first. Suddenly, whole forests were gone! Ugh!

Where my school is, there is literally NO space left, let alone green space. And the government and people wonder why there are so many angry, aggressive kids and adults around. Because they are craving space, open spaces, breathing space. I actually have a blog post planned on this!<br /><br />I'd LOVE to visit a Chinese New Year celebration- it looks so exciting!<br />How appropriate that your CLOCK read 3.01pm, following after your 3pm post- was that deliberate!?!?!<br />xKezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-35281187957360651202014-03-02T09:59:17.170-07:002014-03-02T09:59:17.170-07:00I don't think that wagon will be going anywher...I don't think that wagon will be going anywhere soon.

I almost always shoot in natural light, because I don't like the look of flash light, and it's intrusive when you're in a public setting. I am an in-the-moment photographer and try to capture what is in candid moments.

The ground that was ripped up was full of many, many small animals who were dying ~ like those in your woods that couldn't move to safety. Have a happy week!

I live in a place that was open prairie ten years ago, so I'm just as guilty as the next person. I try to support open space preservation wherever I can.

I didn't realize how destructive they were being until I went on google Earth and saw that they had destroyed the entire hillside. I am so sad. Luckily they did leave some trees between our house and the clear cutting. I am afraid that they might have disturbed the landscape and we might have water runoff problems in the spring. So sad. There were a lot of animals who made those woods their home.
