#67 Transforming the Face of Port Moresby
The once derelict Downtown of Port Moresby is changing quickly.
#65 Poem- Empty Streets
Empty streets, When a tower rises. Empty Streets Where towers rise. Cast tall shadow Upon tall shadows. Hiding reasons from Reasons being. Taking space; Making of empty. Void of place. The streets are empty. -Hans Lee
