GREEN CITY




If we can't even plant trees like the above and maintain pots of flowers on the roadside,we can forget about having Green Cities.The government departments had great time and fun preparing strategy and policy papers but nothing much is implemented for the benefits of city dwellers.Our built environment are at the mercy of property developers whose only interest is to maximise return on their land bank with the support of city halls or town halls.In CBD of KL,more and more office towers and condominiums are constructed.There will a time,the traffic will become grid-locked.



When are going to have Green Cities in Malaysia?Most likely is not happening  during my life time.May be when my grand children get married in 25 years time.


All the photos shown were taken in Bangi.Someone did a good landscaping work some 25 years ago for two roads but too little to create the impact for green city.The worst part,no one continued adding more trees.The authorities could not even do proper trees maintenance!Similary,Taman Tasik Cempaka was designed and constructed very well but now it is getting worse.

I don't have much time left to enjoy the Green City,but at least give us more liveable city.That is why I spend my time more in Putrajaya-the best city in the garden with its own wetland.If I have enough money,I will move to Putrajaya.

Let the photo speak first?

  Should photographers explain their photos, or let the images speak for themselves? A strong photograph can stand on its own. It invites people to look, pause, and interpret the moment in their own way. But sometimes a few words from the photographer reveal the quiet story behind the frame — what was seen, felt, or noticed in that fleeting moment. Perhaps the balance is this: Let the photo speak first. Let the words gently reflect afterwards. 📷

SOLITUDE

  Solitude at the Water’s Edge At the quiet margins of Putrajaya Wetlands Park, moments of stillness often reveal themselves in the simplest scenes. This photograph captures one such moment — a lone bird standing calmly in the shallow waters of the wetlands, surrounded by patches of emerging green and a mirror-like surface that reflects the sky above. What makes this scene compelling is its sense of solitude. The bird stands alone, yet it does not appear lonely. Instead, it seems completely at ease in its environment. The calm water, lightly textured by ripples, creates a soft canvas where reflections blur the boundary between sky and earth. The bird’s reflection anchors it in the frame, quietly doubling its presence in the landscape. The composition embraces minimalism. Most of the frame is filled with open water and subtle tones, allowing the bird to become the natural focal point. The scattered patches of grass break the uniformity of the water surface and hint at the slow, livi...
