“Change password”… on a pedestrian walk button. I couldn’t find a “Forgot Password“ option to reset it, so I didn’t cross the street. 😬 #computerfails

Hills above Lahaina just before sunset. Our first trip here since the fire. The destruction and reconstruction is visible but the locals have made our visit pleasant and normal as possible. Mahalo to all of this island’s residents! #hawaii #LandscapePhotography

It’s humpback season in Maui. Beautiful creatures. Love sitting on shore and seeing them breach, flapping their pectoral fins,… And hearing their calls while swimming at the beach. #humpback #humpback_whales #wildlifephotography

Is it just me or is this stuffed bear tied to a tree by its neck with a zip tie slightly disturbing? :) From a kid’s play area at my hotel in China. #photography

Good advice in an elevator in China- “Do not randomly push the buttons”. Have to admit I did that once or twice when I was young and stupid. #china #elevators

Sign from elevator, 8 rules each written in Chinese and English with circle and red line through it, including one that says “Do not randomly push the buttons”

@drahardja Agree with your point that propaganda is not inherently good or bad - the propagandists may be good or bad. When my parents talked about the depression, an image of Dorothea Lange’s ‘Migrant Mother’ was always in my head. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migrant_Mot…
