GREEN IN THE CITY


This is a nice green stair at Masjid Jamek LRT Station. However, this is not an element of the green city. DBKL needs to do more than that.

Lately, I saw a cluster of instant palm trees growing up in the compound of Masjid Jamek as shown below. Good efforts and well done! Better late than never.







On greening the city, all cities and towns in Malaysia must come and learn how Putrajaya planned, designed, constructed and maintain the greens in the city. What is more important is to have the right knowledge and attitude to do the right thing, keep doing it again and again and do it right. See the photos above and below.



From my observation in the last 10 years. Kuala Lumpur has done very little to green the city. The developers raced to build towering concrete jungles to make tons of money. The city plan was not even gazetted to make it official. Who cares about life in the city? The rich elites from all sectors were laughing all the way to the bank. Just look at a few snapshots of KL below...


A few trees are planted all of the empty spaces between buildings in KL as shown next to Lot 10.


This is Sungai Klang flowing through the city next to LRT Station Pasar Seni.




DBKL should come to Putrajaya and learn something on how to green the city.

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...
