Sherbrooke Creek Olinda for Treasure Tuesday

 

This was taken on the weekend. Joel and I ventured into Mount Dandenong in the rain. We were covered by mud as the result. Our coats were all soaked wet. 

After the effort, we tried out Singaporean Chili Crab Pies at the foot of the hill.

Lake Boga Milkyway for Thursday Water H2O event

 

This was taken last night. The weather turned good on a new moon night. So I took the camera to the lake side for a snap. Damn, it was so cold -2 degrees Celsius.

This is a mural I would have forgotten in the hard drive if I was not searching for a mural to post on this event

Taipei Street Mural for Mural Monday

 

This was in a scary looking back alley in Central Taipei. 

The characters did not make much sense apart from suggesting progressive.

Bendigo Electrical Wonderland for Sunday Best

 

I was getting back to my car after a dinner in town. There was no queue in this light up event in local park. So I decided to take a stroll.

Taipei mural for Mural Monday

 

Melbourne is cold too. Despite me paying the bill, mum's frugal approach to simple life means no heating at all (I spent 20k AUD on the 26 sheets of solar panel and a battery too). She even developed chilblains in her feet. The generation. 

My trip to Cape Woolamai did not happen as the gale was up to 40 knots. The weekend weather was not fitting for me to go into the nature at all. Plus mum and brother were nagging me to stay home boy instead. So I ended up trying the best winning 2023 pie in Australia - I will show later on.

Mangrove trees in the sea at Cleveland, Brisbane

 

This was taken from a while back in my Brisbane trip. Joel and I accidentally found this mangrove bunch near the coast. 

I was worried the sea breeze would move the tree branches too much causing motion blur during the long exposure.

It looks very odd. It feels Bolognese sauce gone wrong in human brains.

This was a tool shed to store cleaning equipment. Quite a lot of walls painted by mural. It was a nice area to explore.

The sign says street corner. The carp symbolises wealth. 

This is an old street from 1900s

Tamshui Taipei Taiwan for Sunday Best

 

This is near the river mouth in Taipei district. It looks somewhere in a tropical island. In fact, it is next to ugly concrete jungle.
