Thanks for the feedback, Roger; an interesting contribution indeed. I must say, however, that the city in the photo, Slough, does not look ugly at all to me; at least, not by our country's standards. If only you saw Lima, our capital in Peru, where I live! Yes, we have a few districts that are orderly and you might say beautiful such as San Isidro, where the most affluent live, plus a few special places for the very rich; and then Miraflores, my own district, which is big and nice and cozy and sort of looks out to the see, which at times makes a wonderful sight... But most other districts are simply horrible with lots of people and cars and contamination of the worst sort. And the slums... very sad places, with such extremes of poverty that you would find hard to believe they exist. The title of a famous novel in the seventies, 'Lima la horrible', says it all.
So sorry, sometimes I need to conjure up my inner demons by speaking out about things like this.
