at 55mm, 1/160 f/11.0, ISO 250, hand held. Singapore, Singapore.

Singapore rappresenta il paradosso dell'economia: ha una limitatissima superficie geografica, non dispone di risorse naturali, ha una storia relativamente recente, eppure gode di una ricchezza finanziaria da far invidia alla Svizzera, di un reddito pro-capite molto elevato e di una classe politica tenace che governa il Paese con regole chiare e certe. Se poi ci si addentra nell'ambito sociale, si osserva come la moltitudine razziale e le profonde differenze anche religiose convivano in perfetta armonia in un sistema che offre servizi tra i migliori al mondo. Purtroppo tutto questo non mi riguarda perchè i miei interessi per Singapore sono ben altri: ho un figlio, una nuora e una bellissima nipotina che mi aspettano a braccia aperte ogni volta che posso raggiungerli....

Wow!!
Beautiful shot, congratulations Benny!
P.S.: even our political class can be said to be tenacious, perhaps in a slightly different sense... :-D
Greetings,
Marcello

Paolo, Nicola and Marcello thank you for visiting and commenting.... each of you has interpreted the meaning of the photo in your own way and for me all shareable: Paolo, when I open my eyes the first thought is for his granddaughter and her parents; Nicola, to give you an example, the condominium mailbox measures 5 meters in width and 1.50 in height; Marcello, for our political class in Singapore with moral rectitude they have only to learn: let's hope for a miracle.... A cordial greeting to you

A gigantic grille. Well seen.
The peaceful and tolerant coexistence of different ethnic groups and religious faiths is facilitated (indeed, perhaps it is due to) the country's high welfare conditions. This is also thanks to the ruling class.

I Soldi, i Soldi, i Soldi.....

era il 1968 quando Bob Kennedy pronunciò le parole che divennero famose: "“Non troveremo mai un fine per la nazione né una nostra personale soddisfazione nel mero perseguimento del benessere economico, nell'ammassare senza fine beni terreni. Non possiamo misurare lo spirito nazionale sulla base dell'indice Dow-Jones, né i successi del Paese sulla base del prodotto interno lordo. Il PIL comprende anche l'inquinamento dell'aria e la pubblicità delle sigarette, e le ambulanze per sgombrare le nostre autostrade dalle carneficine dei fine settimana.

Il PIL mette nel conto le serrature speciali per le nostre porte di casa, e le prigioni per coloro che cercano di forzarle. Comprende programmi televisivi che valorizzano la violenza per vendere prodotti violenti ai nostri bambini. Cresce con la produzione di napalm, missili e testate nucleari, si accresce con gli equipaggiamenti che la polizia usa per sedare le rivolte, e non fa che aumentare quando sulle loro ceneri si ricostruiscono i bassifondi popolari.

Il PIL non tiene conto della salute delle nostre famiglie, della qualità della loro educazione o della gioia dei loro momenti di svago. Non comprende la bellezza della nostra poesia, la solidità dei nostri valori familiari o l'intelligenza del nostro dibattere. Il PIL non misura né la nostra arguzia né il nostro coraggio, né la nostra saggezza né la nostra conoscenza, né la nostra compassione né la devozione al nostro Paese. Misura tutto, in breve, eccetto ciò che rende la vita veramente degna di essere vissuta. Può dirci tutto sull'America, ma non se possiamo essere orgogliosi di essere americani.”.


mi pare che anche per te, caro Benny, ci sia una ricchezza infinitamente più grande: "ho un figlio, una nuora e una bellissima nipotina che mi aspettano a braccia aperte" Sorriso

Stearm, unfortunately life is made of compromises and when you accept the big metropolis you also accept to live or work in there... Thank you for visiting and commenting
