In Port Moresby today

The are pictures taken during the course of my work in and around Port Moresby today, showing the good, the bad, and the ugly of our capital city and home.
May they inspire you towards creating a better Port Moresby for all of us.
Goodnight.

Note the old fella juxtaposed against another another monolith along Hunter Street, Downtown Port Moresby, heading down towards Ela Beach. Port Moresby is indeed a city of extreme contrasts

I was standing at the crossroads of Douglas and Hunter Street in Downtown Port Moresby today, waiting for my driver, when I thought to myself that PNG is indeed at the crossroads in the garden of good and evil.Food for thought...
