Cattle at the foot of the Whetstone Mountains in Arizona

This is a herd of cattle that I encountered near the mouth of French Joe Canyon in the Whetstone Mountains in Arizona. They would not be there if humans were not ranching them!

Catterland

It's getting warm, and this Ford is going for a swim.

A foggy morning in Tucson, Arizona

I cannot provide much context for this one because I was wandering around drunk (I had a big problem with alcohol back then) playing Ingress. I know that I took it out on the west side of Tucson, Arizona. It struck me as an interesting image when I was flipping through my photos. I like the contrast between the jagged razor wire and the foggy morning.

A bit unorthodox, but this is from Devils Tower this summer. I forget the specific occasion for which the flag was lowered, but the symbolism was striking.

Beepee

the trunk of a fig tree in Hyde Park, Sydney. Taken 12 December 2018. The massive fig trees in Hyde Park are so incredible, I particularly love this tree which has been scored with years of love notes.

10 / 11 - LOVE SIGN IN PEOPLE’S GARDEN, YANGON, MYANMAR.

Is love in the air? Well, for a few gardens in Myanmar, indeed! Despite the traditional and conservative outlook on life, many Burmese citizens are, shall we say, extremely well-versed in romance and romance movies. While not exactly man-made in general, it is at least endearing to see couples in a garden having a picnic, simply talking about their life goals, or whatever else that couples do in public.

11 / 11 - GARDENS BY THE BAY, SINGAPORE.

Possibly one of the most overshot places, and I am displaying this quite a lot now myself, Gardens by The Bay is a must-go for many citizens and visitors alike. The perfect fusion of man-made trees, combined with a sustained ecosystem, along with the Garden Dome inside of it all, is nothing short of spectacular.

I may or not have been partly thinking of the Gardens by the Bay when I came up with this topic, so, yeah... >_>
