My Playground for 19 days

This was my 'playground' for 19 days. Fantastic view, ain't it?

Now this is what I call space – big enough such that when you look all around, there’s no one else but you. Space so huge that when you close your eyes, all you hear is the whisper of the wind and your own breathing.

I used to like urban areas like what we have in S’pore. Loads of people; tiny nooks and crannies that are filled up with things for sale; the buzz and excitement of life just rushing on all around you. But now, I avoid crowded areas like plague - and I believe in shopping on weekday mornings only.

Perhaps it’s because I’m getting old. And I guess those years downunder may have contributed to that yearning for wide open areas too.
