Another city, another hotel, another view.
Gary Sauer-Thompson, from the window of the Hilton on the Park, 2008
I'm in Sydney, in the Stamford hotel next to the airport. I'm here for meetings on Saturday afternoon, and in the morning to pick up the repaired Toshiba laptop, and to discuss ways to improve the technological functioning of thought-factory.net by setting up remote access.
The view from the window is poor----its all airplane sheds.There are a few trees, but its mostly concrete and tin. The area outside the hotel is all roaring traffic flows. On Sunday I plan to explore Newton with my camera before returning to Adelaide.

Gary,
I sometimes wonder what would happen if humans disappeared. How long would it take before this scene looked like an abandoned Incan city, covered in green and wildlife living in the buildings. Highrise balconies could host bird breeding colonies.
