Abandoned Holden Car for Treasure Tuesday

 


After a busy day, I feel so unmotivated to do my daily walk in the park.

For a while, I had an obsession to photograph old, abandoned car. Kind of treasures for Treasure Tuesday

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.

Boort Lake, Boort, Victoria for Skywatch Friday

 


Boort has 3 lakes. 2 are dried out. It is, however, a great place to eat lunch by.

Rochester Poster Sign where it is all under water

 


This is an iconic sign in the town of Rochester, Victoria. I come here monthly for consulting in the nursing home. 

This town is all under the water in the recent flood. I am sure this sign will be under the water too.

Heavy Storm and fog in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia

 


Everything was a blur doing long exposure in the rain. It turns out dreamy in a way

Maffra drive


The morning drive was quite nice in Maffra. This place is renown for dairy products and milk production.

I love the fog on the day.

On the way to South Gippsland


Old derelict house like this one turned out nicely on Reala film. I deliberately under processed it to render that aged atmosphere.

Capeway Light Tower


Usually light tower does not interest me. But this one was the only worthwhile to notice in this region. South West to Warrnambool

Macedon Ranges stroll



A casual walk in Macedon Ranges. The green is so lush and shining. Quite impressive.

Wonderland car park walk in Grampians National Park

It was always hard work to reach this corridor (after 5 hours of hiking)

Post-Bush Fire Stevenson Fall, Marysville, Melbourne


This waterfall was one of the 3 "tallest" waterfall in Victoria, Australia. Why are there 3 tallest single span waterfalls? This does not make sense to me. However, the look of the falls has changed significantly. Mother nature does provide changes in mysterious ways.

Steamed Shark, Lake Entrance, Victoria, Australia


This image is taken by Voigtlander 40mm f2 SL

This is a dish hard to forget. The reason being so unforgettable is the way it is discovered in a tourist coastal town of Victoria - Lake Entrance.

This place is reknown for its estuary exit of a river called Murray. The place is nothing but wattle trees. Yet most of the shop keepers liked to consider me as a Japanese speaking the twisted Japanese to me "O denki Deska?" Whatever. I even treated your regional health director in your regional hospital and stopped generalising me as a tourist!

This dish is sampled locally from the local fish market. Usually shark cannot be steamed for the very reason that it has contained high urea concentration within the flesh. The taste is not really pleasant if not deep fried like the good old time fish n chips.

But this plate of food was one of the best dishes I had in the region. Cost like 39 dollars but it was well worth it. Again, this type of refreshing bright colour can only derive from Voigtlander lens. So much clarity and rich intense colour.

Well, the restaurant had a chef that was originally working in a French restaurant in France. My question to the chef was why the heck he wanted to move to such a coastal town at all?
