Mount Baw Baw for Sunday Best

 

A little sombre just the way I like it for the past few weeks. I tend to underexpose the shots using ultra-wide-angle lens in my hike. Stefan would not approve lol.

I am planning to re visit Cape Woolamai with Joel today. The long car drive is always our talk therapy time. Also eating cheap eats along the way is also a way to enjoy Australian weekends.

Bridgewater Bay low tide for Treasure Tuesday

 

Among many trips to this location this year, this was one of the unique photo where I managed to get my whole pants soaked wet by rogue waves. However, the silky flow in the foreground works out well.

Cleveland coast Brisbane for Treasure Tuesday

 

Joel and I saw the sign saying "gorgeous Red Coast" on the freeway. So we made a turn and explored this region. It turned out Red Coast was not red yet quite dull to visit. Too built up for our liking. 

Then besides the mangrove bush, this abandoned old dock was observed. Few minutes later, the whole ground was covered in water.

Serenity Waterfall, Sunshine Coast for Sunday Best

 

Serenity falls is quite elegant on the way to Noosa. There are so many Vloggers around the area making it so hard to photograph this fall. 

I caught up with my buddy Joel for a trial of best state meat pie in Victoria. There is a whole scotch egg inside the pie. Quite impressed.

Lake Tyrrell reflection for Treasure Tuesday

 

Funny that I took a different style of landscape shot at this location over the years.

Tamshui Taipei Taiwan for Sunday Best

 

This is near the river mouth in Taipei district. It looks somewhere in a tropical island. In fact, it is next to ugly concrete jungle.

Tenby Point without the mud

 

Mangroves are in this region. Without the low tide, it is more pleasant for long exposure

Corra Flynn Cascade Waterfall, Marysville

 

A really nice hidden waterfall, still present after Black Saturday bushfire.  Love the anions emitted by the forest at the same time.

Pulpit Rock, Cape Schanck, Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne

 

Last weekend, we just had to get out of the house despite a stormy gloomy weather. It was mainly the stairs and steps I want to do to get my metabolism going. 

Spam filter here is getting to me again. So, I am trapped in this never ending gotcha moment proving I am not a robot. Sometimes I do feel that I am a robot in this capitalistic world.

Tenby point old jetties for Sunday Best

 

This is lowest tide of the evening from a week ago. There are way too many mozzies potentially carrying encephalitis B virus 

It was a bad planning on my behalf. These muds sink my feet to waist level if I am not being careful at all. So it is all telephoto lens doing the long exposure ineffectively. 

At least this look is not common on instagram feeds.

Princes Pier, Melbourne for Skywatch Friday

 

Due to the foot injury, my pal and I came here after a nice dinner in CBD. As usual, there is a whole line up of photographers at the edge of the pier. A bit busy driving from Bendigo to Melbourne again for Chinese lunar new year. Mum got a whole list of last-minute shopping to do. She wants "fresh" produce as ancestral offering on the lunar new year eve.

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.

This was another trip to the hazardous coast. I walked on my left inverted foot and sprained the whole foot as a result. Not fun.

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.

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

MacKenzie Waterfalls, Grampians

 

This is one of the images that I can capture without a tourist in sight. It is kind of a miracle. 

The water is pristinely clean though.

Creek in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia

 

Water can be so soothing. Xmas is truly a silly mad season. After a spiraling runs of various health issues affecting mum and me, my buddy is going through a crisis in marriage...

It is easier to sit by the creek away from the world

There are three "bays of islands" in Victoria, Australia.

This one is most accessible. I am going to come here to test out my new Sony A7RV
