Urbex is not my strong suite but I enjoy it very much.

A sunny day to do long exposure. No clouds in the sky though.

No long exposure here. Just a quick snap that gives a totally different feel from the frame.
I am preparing this post as I had 2 failed to show attendances in my clinic this morning.

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.
This was taken from one of the street candid photo walk. There happened to be a sign. So this will do for the event.
I was lucky to be appointed as a moderator for Bestofglobe-Australia on Instagram. I don't know why I committed myself to this role, but it would be fun to find more like minded in down under.

In the last few weeks, I have been making efforts to take train to CBD doing my photowalk round and street candids. Some murals have been replaced by new ones in AC DC lane.
It was fun to snap murals like social landscape photography. Hoiser Lane is unrecognisable with so much tagging. It is definitely violence to arts.

There is no epic sky. Just the same overcast weather with constant drizzle. There is also no parking available in the area on weekends. So one can only visit during the weekdays.

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.

This restaurant is run by a well-known French chef who moved to Australia in 1993. I was stood up by my date on that day. At least, the food was great!
The escargots are just a delight (1st pic). The desert is so creamy and soft to taste.

It was a really low key weekend. Joel and I did not get the skating rink candid as they are all kids. We want to avoid the controversy. So it was just a lovely Italian lunch that we end up reading about climate change being the worst in 2023.

The lips are very thick in this fish. The eyes look possessed too.

Back from a trip to Noojee on Saturday. The hiking was exhausting but the photos were worth it. Both Joel and I fell into the cold creeks and we both got our injuries. So I am still sore from the trip.
This mural is really reminding me to cover my nose too. Stench is everywhere in that area.

A 200mm f4 macro on the butterfly. Of course, I spray sugar water on the leaves first so they stay still harvesting the sugar.

In one of the nights out in CBD, I like how the sign was lit up revealing the pedestrian's face.

This wall mural is inside a corridor in a building off Russell Street Melbourne.
I spotted a chap coming out of a Chinese eatery, who bought some take away. He was yelling at all the Asians coming into the store "Get some real food!". That really made my day.

This is the royal botanic garden. It costs 55 bucks for all time entry. No refund possible. Joel and I came here ready to shoot on Thursday night. This lake in the garden is usually quite boring for me. Not that night.

Expensive meal for Joel's Birthday. We were still hungry afterwards, so we went to a dumpling alley.
I realised the photos would be buried in my hard drive forever after the occasion. I might as well post them here like a diary.

I was testing out Sigma 17mm f4 pancake lens last week. The stroll was quite relaxing as I observed all sorts of weird design and colours in the hippy Fitzroy Street.
I did not realise it was a full moon last night. No wonder all the people at my clinic were super mad.
