Queen Street mall, Brisbane, Australia
I am quite conflicted about this. I saw him in the mall with his pet sulphur-crested cockatoo. You can’t see it from this angle, but the cockatoo was wearing a “nappy”. Around my parents’ family home these cockatoos gather in screeching flocks, especially in the mornings. I am sure he takes very good care of the bird, but they are wild; it is not deserving of captivity.

In my country they are common housepets. Although there is some controversy as to their welfare, because they are not domesticated. Cockatoos, parrots, and macaws are wild animals kept and trained as pets.
We think it surprising when people in other countries keep our wild crows and ravens as pets.

If you look carefully at the large crevice in the rock (near centre frame) you can see a “hanging coffin” or “cliff burial”, a practice dating perhaps to the early Tang dynasty (618-690). It is unclear how the coffins were placed in these locations.

Tucson Arizona
Coincidentally, I was at Old Tucson Studios on April 24, 1995, when much of it burnt down. We were scheduled to have a conference dinner there, but were ushered out as the fire took hold and loaded back onto the buses as the conference organisers frantically scrambled to arrange dinner for about 200 people at half an hour’s notice. Behind us the fire did about $10 million in damage and losses, but there were no human casualties.

This is looking along Moolabin Creek. “Moolabin” is indigenous for “plenty of fish”. Yerongpilly is on the left bank, the other, east bank is Moorooka. “Yerongpilly” is indigenous, meaning “rain coming, enough just to fill the gullies”, i.e. shallow water. Moorooka is another indigenous name meaning “big nose”, named for a local, prominent hill.

Feeling heartbroken. A church I go to sometimes has a Cambodian congregation that meets in a separate chapel.
We must always be thankful for where we were born, and the blessings we've had handed to us, no matter how small, in our lives.
