Brown Sugar Sign in Fitzroy for Sign2

 

I like this old sign photo from Fitzroy St Melbourne. Quite artistic.

It is raining in Bendigo. Overcast for a couple of days on forecast. Time to explore indoor exhibitions with Joel this weekend.

Pinnacles Milkyway Bow for Water H2O Thursday

 

This was what Joel and I were up to last weekend. New moon. Zero cloud for 5 seconds though. It was after a hike elsewhere on Phillip Island. Then we had fish n chips before coming up here for a milkyway bow.

Light pollution is seen on the right. Thanks for the urban sprawl into this once peaceful island.

Just got back from a 9 hour drive from Moulamein. So buggered. Needs rest.

Saltworks at Lake Tyrrell for Sunday Best

 

Third time in this location along the unsealed road of Salt works Rd. Many hares manically running away from me as I approached the lake side. I was meaning to go to a site with abandoned tractor coated by thick pink salt. I decided not to do that because of risk of being sand bombed.

Summer is definitely here. Time to get physical and lose some weight. Gonna start intermittent fasting again.

Milkyway Reflection at Lake Tyrrell for Water H2O Thursday

 

I visited Lake Tyrrell last night. Solo until midnight. I was lucky to spot the reflection view of Milkyway.

On the weekend, Joel and I supposed to head to this Singapore Chili Crab restaurant. Then he had to go see an optometrist for a reading glasses. Then we ended up heading to Nylex Signs and Skipping Girl signage which did not light up at all. We went to Che the Vietnamese desert place and had best three colour ice there.  

Living room graffiti wall art for Mural Monday

 

This was from a while back. At Hosier lane. The colour was popping so I took a snap.

I was going through an old uni album where Leonid and I were like inseparable twins. He is now the head of a bone marrow transplant department in US. Memory can be so much like old wine though I cannot drink alcohol because of gout. 

Warburton Creek for Water H2O Thursday

 

Last Saturday was pretty much cloudy overcast. So picking a random creek in Warburton again.

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.

Cat family in tea room outside a cafe for Mural Monday

 

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.

I was in Nyah Westing visiting a regular nursing home. It was literally frosty everywhere I walked. The typical morning glory
