I actually like this picture for its detail of the urban jungle but I can't help wondering how people can live in such a scrunched up environment.
Tokyo has 30+ millions live in and around the city. but they have no Traffic jams, and it super clean, quiet + safe.
I came from a 10 million populated city but it is day and night difference compared to Tokyo. however living space here is like hole on a wall.

A relative of mine married a very nice girl from the Philippines and brought her back to a small town in Ireland, she wanted to know where all the people had gone.

Our urban population density in 2011 was 1736 persons/sq Km and 26persons/sq km in rural areas

and, I will bet, you have room to park your vehicles

but you might be short of golf courses

not that would be a bad thing come to think about it

here is an old reminder of what will be coming to our area

Not at all, within about half an hour's drive from where I live there are 3 internationally known courses, 2 at Killarney and 1 at Ballybunnion plus I don't know how many lesser known ones, if you think you're somebody you have to be a member of at least one, naturally I'm not, golf tourism is big business around here.

I'd rather go walking by the sea or up the mountains on the Wild Atlantic Way, mind you the highest mountain is only around 3,000 feet or so but its still deadly on occasion, another called Caherconree (or Caher Conri in the language the English do not know), is complete with the remains of the magic stone age ring fort of Cu Roi who according to legend was able to rotate the walls so the entrance could not be found.

some one famous is reported to have said that - Samuel Clemons aka Mark Twain

I don't walk a lot but I never golf

K 3 + Smc PENTAX-DA 50mm F1.8

Leena the mid 30's aunt [ extreme close up as she sits next to the ( dirty ) glass on her 55 gallon plastic drum ]

( she will pound on the glass if I don't take her photo now, she also may give kisses if you put your check up to the glass )

and Bumi the 5 year old nephew playing on the donated used fire hose [ - after a set period of time,, the fire department must " retire " the hoses and replace them, they are nice enough to give some to the zoo where they are " recycled for various purposes, the white object is a " puzzle jar " where treats are stored to entice the Bornean Orangutans to figure out how to get the hidden treat ]

Estate Agent/Realtor speak for "Detached, Desirable, Residence"... it's a new build, available with early Spring entry date, with stunning views over local countryside.
