Random Scenes for a Summer Day
Barely a century or so ago this area was full of old growth forests as far as the eye could see. I enjoy looking at old photographs from the early eras of the city's history. Things seem so quaint in those images that it's easy to forget that it was a modern technological marvel at the time. The untamed western frontier beginning to take shape like a diamond in the rough.
Things have changed a little since the founding of the city in 1886. For example, I bet they didn't have police walking around with assault rifles during celebrations back in the old days 😐 But I digress.
There's a feeling that one gets walking in the city, on the way to work, school, or entertainment hub- the people, the traffic, and the hum of city life. It's alive!
Land, concrete, steel, and glass spill onto ocean scenes.
The old and the new live side by side though the latter is growing by leaps and bounds, muffling the architectural echoes of the past. This next image shows one of the old historic (1900s) parts of town that has been maintained pristine (mostly) and is now a tourist attraction.
Then facing west, one of the last bridges of the continental shell, where the moon over the ocean turns her face to the setting sun, and welcomes the city of night.

The city looks very clean and beautiful.
Happy that there are some old building that still kept maintained, I believe it will be costly as well isn't it?
You're right. The buildings are old and difficult to maintain, but if the government designates them as having historic value, then they cannot be knocked down. Sometimes, the structures are lifted and moved somewhere else to free up the land if they want to build in that spot. It's a complex and contentious issue, as you can imagine.

It is impressive how these new and older buildings coexist, and the city looks beautiful. The most beautiful bridge is still waiting for the moon!
It's a fast growing city, and soon it will be a proper cyberpunk metropolis. 😎
I could never live in a city with so much glass and concrete. I don't understand how to go from beauty to pure coldness.
City living is definitely not for everyone. Thankfully we're surrounded by nature here, so it's easy to get away when you need a break.
