Here today, gone tomorrow.
Last Tuesday,I was out walking, came across this and decided that I have a story to tell with this scene. So I went back for my tripod and camera.
Who knows if the digger will be at the right place tomorrow.
Who would know then that this place would make way for another when it was built.
Besides, the last I passed this place, the vacated blocks of Hdb flat were still there and that was about a week or two ago, i think. Unless i walked past without realising...
Here today, gone tomorrow.
The "garmen" n some activist groups are always at a crossroads when it comes to matters like this. Old buildings , plots of natural spaces to make way for newer buildings.
Sometimes there can be compromise, sometimes there are non and flames of sentiments will be dampened (but not doused).
This roadmap of change is never straight forward, there will always be sacrifices.
Streets of fire and passion.
In its place, before you know it, a spanking new and taller block of flat will arise,
like a phoenix from ashes.
Many will be happy, settling into their new homes and the past will be forgotten...or not?
Moonlit night in Clementi. (I love the moon in my photos and prefer the moon in the night sky to sunrise or sunset.)
So who is there to help us remember the past?
This story is inspired by iluvs90's Commonwealth Drive-A trip down memory lane. (thanks for dropping by and words of encouragement)
The place has a special place in my heart, it is where my grandparents, uncle and aunty stayed. I too spent some time there. Besides my parents, they too loved and took very good care of me when i was a kid. Thank you iluvs90!
I also like to use "streets of fire and passion" for another story.
Crossroads of life.
There are not many easy paths but it will always be an adventure.
Always move forward.
That image brings to mind the movie and theme song from "Streets of fire".
