suburban fireworks

above you might be able to just see the annual procession through Ashfield Park towards prime positioning for firework viewing - the distant red lights in top pic. Next year on this busy corner we will have views above a common and invading, like a noxious weed, 24/7 fast food outlet! Our quiet innerwest suburb will never be the same. Depressing that yet again $-making wins over community needs (7000 people signed against this development).

Sea Shepherd

A good story for Christmas.... Sea Shepherd :: Sea Shepherd Intercepts the Japanese Whaling Fleet with Drones

this is coming after this weeks sad news about the loss of a great man and world leader, the former czech president Vaclav Havel - who led the peaceful 1989 Velvet Revolution. RIP

playful conclusions
