There is only so much we can do
Sometimes I feel jaded as life seems to be helpless and there is only so much one can do. We have to leave it up to God.
Anyway wished I didn't change my air tickets to Chicago to London now..
They are renaming the famous Sears Tower in Chicago to Willis Tower (London-based insurance broker Willis Group, agreed to lease a large portion of the building and as part of the agreement obtained the building's naming rights). Just sounds so wrong despite the fact that it will constitute a 5-year, $350 million green renovation to upgrade the building. Sears was the tallest building for 25 years since 1973 until Malaysia's Petronas Towers were built in 1998 in Kuala Lampur. Sometimes we take things for granted, thinking they will be here forever, then the inevitable change will come and take it away from you.
That is why I love taking photos of old buildings, because some day it will be torn down to make way for something new. Will try to post up some of my building shots.
