Compressing space

I've mentioned this before (I think) that one of the things I love about Taiwan is how compact it is. I can transport between city and country urban and rural in just minutes (and that is on foot). Often during my morning photo walks I'm moving between both of these spaces. Maybe that is why I got my home on the edge of the city. Another dynamic of that is how in Taiwan you can go from near Alpine mountain conditions like Ali Shan with elevations up to 8000 feet to the coast in just a couple of hours or so. Quite amazing!

Music: I mentioned the mountains so let's go with Mountain-Mississippi Queen. A killer song by a great band who is the de facto American Cream.
