but on a more positive note:

another delayed post . this deliciously kitsch mandala created out of dried foods and odd bits of plastic crap was sitting outside the melbourne town hall a few days ago, as a protest against china's occupation of tibet.

aside from my multi-perspective admiration [including the time involved, the effort, and the political motivation backed up by political will - as insignificant as a dried-food mandala in an inner-city-shopping precinct may seem], the expressions on the faces of passers-by were absolutely priceless.
