I just hate myself for checking-in my camera's USB cable.
So Aditya Bothra and myself are at Changi Airport, (which by the way is the best airport I've ever been to) getting our feet massaged (for free!) after a seven hour flight from Melbourne. Man it felt good. Anyways, we roamed around a little, shopped a bit and were bored. What do we do next we wondered.
Why setup our own wireless network and surf the net ofcourse! You see this airport is Wi-Fied but access isn't free, which is very stupid considering they offer Ethernet points all across the terminal which give unlimited free internet access. Now I'd checked this up before coming so I made sure I had my ethernet cable in my hand luggage. Turned out I also had my Airport Express with me, so I just connected that to their network and had my own network running! Now if only I would've had my camera's USB cord I would've posted one of the many photos I clicked out here instead.
The one I did get around to posting is the rear wall of the Alexander Theater Robert Blackwood Concert Hall back at Monash.
Here's a 1440x900 version for ones who have a 15" MacBook Pro.

Most of your pics are indeed really good. And I also like to change my wallpaper regularly. Is there a site where you upload larger resolution photos? Or just give a link below your photos where one can download higher resolution pics. Many times there have been requests for larger resolution pics for wallpapers. I would prefer 1440x900.

Wow, these Australians really do know architecture. Is the School of Architecture at Monash a big thing?

Wow, hadn't noticed how it looks like the Dharma Initiative logo. Nice find!
@Aditya: I do upload higher resolution ones to flickr but since I'm not a pro member, you cannot access the high-res ones from there. As you said, there have been requests for hi-res ones a lot of times and I just update the post with one. I'll upload a 1440x900 version of this one.

Not really.

@Sourima: Sorry I forgot to ask in my last comment. How does it remind you of a collage??
@Sumit: Yup, got my legs massaged in the same machines. We too spent quite a lot of time trying out the different ones.
@Rashmi: Yes yes, I remembered your case and made sure I didn't leave my cable behind. :)

the blending of the tree bark (to your left) and the wall even when the wall stands out 'red'!! and the leaves (look too green)....the green on the wall and just too many 'sharp' colours (they just hit my eyes)...it looked somewhat artificial to me and hence the feeling of it being a 'collage'....'artificial reality'!!

Right now I use iPhoto for the originals I shoot but resort to manually managing folders of my edited shots.
