Pinnacles, Cape Woolamai, Victoria, Australia

 

While I am busy working in a town near outback, I do not have opportunity to even get out to take some photos. So this is from the time I busted my ankle 2 months ago.

Lake Weeroona Bendigo for Skywatch Friday

 

Every night during my walk around this lake, it gives a different light. This night, I happen to have my camera with me. 

It has been raining in Melbourne. More rains to follow in the next three days. So I will be hitting some fine dining places with Joel.

Inglewood township

 

Every now and then, there is a request for my visit to Inglewood hostel. It was a stormy day that I took the trip this week.

Bridgewater Bay Long Exposure

 

I took at least 200 long exposure photos at this location in my last visit where I sustained an avulsion tendon tear in my left ankle. You can see the two people standing on top of the cliff in the distance. It was a worry that I thought one guy was going to push the lady off the cliff for a jump into the sea.

Back beach, Mornington Peninsula

 

A late post this morning since I had another adventure last night. It was fun searching for a landscape. There is no time to re-examine the work last night. However, I am so buggered this morning. Sore muscles everywhere

Mornington Peninsula Back Beach for Skywatch Friday

 

Last few days strolling along the beach was nice. The temperature actually came down too. more bearable. This is so good that I do not need to stress over anything in the holiday mood.

Rainbow in the storm, Loddon Malley Region, Australia

 

I finally finished my round of work. It is time to drive back to Melbourne for a good dose for relaxation. Then my buddy called me to head to the coast this evening. I felt buggered

Swan Hill Sunset for Skywatch Friday

 

This was near where I work in this festive season. In severe heat, the magical hour renders the whole effort coming out here worthwhile.

Purple Sunset and storm clouds in Lake Charm

 

This lake is 40km from where I work. I had a night off and drove to this location to take a snap of this.

Sunset in Grampians Australia

 

Love the mist and the light and the fresh air. Best to detox from the mundane life.

I ended up doing most candid street photography in Melbourne CBD over the past 3 days. Funny it really feels great! I will add them to the queue in my other blog Melbourne Street Photography

Tenby point sunset, Melbourne

 

This is a long exposure of the mangrove habitat. The shore is rather muddy to walk on. Tons of mud to remove from my shoes before getting into my car ...

The Sunrise in Nyah West, Victoria

 

I am a rural geriatrician. So, I provide consults to the remote nursing homes in Vic-NSW border towns. This sunrise view is the bonus view I often get. This only last 5 minutes or so before the sky became a wonton. 

The only concern is that big trucks and cargo carriers often speed without a worry in the world. Taking a shot by the roadside is quite risky.

Sandridge Pier, Melbourne, Australia

 

Sandridge pier is the classic location to take a sunrise shots of Melbourne skyline

The pier is an easy access. I arrived at 4 am with a significant sleep deprivation. Well, anything for a photo. I did need quite a few more cups of coffee after this.

Sky mirror at Lake Weeroona, Bendigo

 

This lake is located less than 2 km from where I live. Sometimes the sky can reveal its beauty. The river bank is filled with duck poo though. Very organic smell

Bay of Islands, Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne

 

Well, that big rock was meant to be my focus of the day for an ultra long exposure. I misread the tides that it was actually a high tide instead of a low one. So I walked to the deck for a timely sunset. The couple was already there trying to suck on each other's tongue. 

So a snap

A while back, I was organising my albums. I came across the images I once tried so hard in capturing them. Funny how mood has changed over time that I even forgot about it.

Sipping my Latte while writing this post. It does feel right in winter Melbourne.

Outback in Mungo National Park, NSW, Australia

 

This is the sunset I was happy to see while waiting for the night milkyway shot. Concerned about the clouds in the distance that should disappear by the midnight

Light Tunnel on Broadwalk in Lake Tyrrell

 

My buddy from US is visiting. He is taking 2 kids to visit his parents in Australia. We were very good friends in medical school. All these ups and downs in study and career in the younger years resurfaced from the memory lane. 

I am not sure he will be into urban cheap eats or something more into the wilderness like the crazy adventures that I do. 

The recent obsession is Urbex in which I do not think a lot of people are into it. I often smell crap and human wastes in these abandoned urban sites. 

This image was taken in Lake Tyrrell again - a place I often frequent when I work in these remote outback towns. The light painting is done by an optic tube.
