Somehow, I like the view. It was something memorable in my hike in middle Taiwan

Ximending Street Art, Taipei for Mural Monday

 

This was one of the murals on my trip in Taipei Taiwan. A boring central district but a stroll on the graffiti street was fun. It took a while to find.

Qing Jing Farm Cherry Blossom, Middle Taiwan

 

This was during the late March where the cherry blossom season was almost over. I still managed to get a frame in the farm there.

Easter gave me a break from working hard in the past week. Somewhat I had a moment of existential crisis. It is much less of a problem now as I just focus on the things I can control.

Sign in the train station for Tom's Sign2 Event

 

The sign says pray for goodness in life

Not sure if it was a cow above it or a reindeer. Never mind.

Colourful lanterns for Tom's Treasure Tuesday

 

Nice patterns on the lanterns when I tried to have some nice XiaoLongBao ( a version of thin skinned soup dumplings)

Taipei Street Mural

 

A typical Japanese style underwear worn by most silver hair in Japan. The mural suggests a gambling problem running away from Mahjong.

Tunnel of Nine Turns, Taiwan

 

These rocks are made of Marbles. The tunnel was made in 1950s. A lot of veterans died in building this tunnel. Swallows are everywhere around here.

Taroko Gorge, Taiwan

 

I am back to Australia. A good 3-week break and a digital detox not by choice lol. 

The walk and hike around the mountains in mid Taiwan were really relaxing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Problem of going away for a few weeks is that a significant amount of work built up over time. There were a lot of bills to pay while I had zero income for these weeks. Life goes on!

National Memorial

 

This is one of the facades in the memorial hall for one of the leaders in Taiwan. 

Given all the troubles with blogger, I will rest the blogging until I get home. I will still comment and visit other blogs that I am "allowed" to visit too.

I will be back 3 weeks later. On Monday to Wednesday, I will be joining a team to hike in the mountains. I hope my fitness level is up for it.

Dig the colour. Bottle show.

Graveyard after storm

A little spooky from all the burnt dead people's money

Prayer

How often do we pray and we dont know we are being wishful thinking or just plain stupid?

After seeing some prayers at Rong Shang Temple, some faiths have their places in some people's hearts.

Vendor food

Food like these always surprised you. Life is always about re discovery of small things.

Tao Temple Ceiling

This is a high contrast image out of Voigtlander 12mm f5.6 which has that dramatic effect of wide perspective. The two people included in the image were my old photography pals. The image is a little desaturated to enhance that feeling of aged old look.

ONE in four Victorians think driving 10km over the speed limit in a 100km zone is socially acceptable.
