JP-Jurassic Park

Fireworks at JP

54mm: 4 secs (bulb time with shutter cable release): f/5.6: ISO100: Manual Focus

Firework displays by DSTcomm during their roadshow at JP, brings back the memory of the days when JP used to be the place that nobody want to miss every time you go out. That night when I was walking with my family along the dark public path after having dinner at the "gerai", the eerie and strange feeling comes to mind, as my son in tantrums and adamant insisted that he saw the "condor" and wanted a ride in it. What we saw as we walked on the dark and deteriorating path that night really struck me.The "pony express" has run off? the "giant drop" had dropped into the earth core leaving large crater on the spot. The "pirate ship" had set sailed to the distant land. These are just a few "rides" that we grew up with and they are gone. The park has transformed beyond recognition, it reminds me a scene in the Jurassic Park, where everything literally falling to pieces, well at least the dinosaurs are still there. When we finally arrived at the "condor" ride after a long walks, we were told the ride was "binasa" by the operator. We had to backtrack after getting temporary uncertain of location, and ended up at the children playground, our last hope that night for my disappointed son. What a tiring night it turn out to be.
