Photo Diary
Weather is getting quite cold. -2 degree Celsius almost every night. Walking in the ankle deep sea water on the beach rocks is really designed for iron man or iron woman.
Normally one would come up a poem for this image. I just like to ponder on a view like this. No words.

Hualien is the meeting point of the Central Cross-Island Highway, Suao-Hualien Highway, and highways leading south to Taitung.
Hualien County is home to several world-class scenic attractions. In 1590, Portuguese sailors passed by the eastern coast of Taiwan and were so moved by the grandeur of what they saw that they named this land "Formosa," the beautiful island. Since that time, the majestic views of Hualien have come to represent Taiwan.
Formerly known as Qilai, Hualien's current name derives from the phrase "huilan" (eddying water), a reference to the swirling currents of the Hualien River where it meets the sea.
Hualien is Taiwan's biggest county, with an area of about 4,628 square kilometers and a population of 350,000. The county borders the Pacific Ocean to the east and is hemmed in by the Central Range to the west. With its towering peaks, azure skies, vast seas, scenic valleys, cultural diversity, and friendly kindhearted people, Hualien has become one of Taiwan's first-choice travel destinations for local and international visitors alike.
There are some 200 after quakes after the initial one 1 month ago. I am not planning to go anywhere near the location now.

Going to another province for 2 days. No access to Wifi.
A trip to N16 beach again. No flaming sunset but not too bad clouds.

The coastline from Inverloch to Hamer's beach is where dinosaur fossils are frequently discovered. There are numerous sea caves along the coastline too.
This particular cave is very wide. There are many spiders crawling on the ground as well. Not a fun place to stay still.

This is taken during a low tide at Brighton's beach. The night scenery is not bad.

Every year, this looks same. I really want to go to Yarra River for the river lights installation, but I am scared to mix in the crazy crowd on Xmas Eve.

Joel and I headed out to a lovely beach near Tenby Point. He told me about a new gimbal camera that is coming onto the market by DJ mini. It would be a universal mount camera with a very low register distance. So it can take any lenses from any major brands. How exciting!

This is only 1.3 km from my unit in Warrnambool. So I often come here for a stroll straight after my Thai Dinner. I found a lot of dog poo on the beach though. Sad.

The sea shelf exposed in the low tide often gave a photography interest for long exposure pleasure.

Yesterday I had a yum cha lunch with Leonid who visited Australia from US this year. We caught up and chatted for hours. He was trying to get me to work in US while I was trying to lure him back to Australia.
This cave was way too small for my size. I kept hitting the ceiling of the cave by my head

That was the last weekend I spent with Joel. Doing so little but play with drone all evening.

The cardiology conference is so boring. The place is filled with wankers. The soothing walk during breaks is my refuge away from the mass of people into their own agendas.

Joel sprained his back. He was hurting like a baby. So we ended up going to city beach for a sunset.
It was a high tide on the weekend. So there were only a few locations worth visiting.
I did not get the look I want. There will be more practices in the future.

Currently working for a locum job. So, I can pay the forthcoming holidays.
It has been a fever to capture various unknown caves at seaside since the pandemic. Well, this is the best way to avoid crowd. And there is a bit of explorer feel to it. My friend got various sorts of trauma from walking around these areas too.
I just got my forth dose for Covid. Arm is painful for quite a few days already.

Gloomy and dark. The mini waterfall is a bonus for the dull sunset. There is reflection in the water hole too.

Today though little chance of rain but the sky was completely overcast. Joel rang me saying he was too bored needing to do something. So we came to this same location from 2 weeks ago. This time, it is high tide. It was good for long exposure. The cloud break allows us to see some colours too.
One Aussie chap was brave enough to enter this water which was pretty much freezing. The torrents were so severe that we thought we could lose him into the sea as well.
