Despite a failed project in dockland development Melbourne, the location is good for night time urban photography

Inside Melbourne Jail

Melbourne Jail is a great place to snap photo. This is taken with a fish eye lens tilting upwards to reduce the distortion.

Vintage car on street walk in Melbourne for Treasure Tuesday

I recalled this was taken in St Kilda. Love the classic car look.

Long distance drive like 6 hours return day trip is becoming to get me after 10 years. It is bum in seat for that long without actual physical exercises. The weekend outing for nature photography is really the only chance to get fit a bit.

Squid in Bonito sauce

In one of the cafe located in QV, I had a Entree dish to taste.

It was a taste in heaven where the sauce was the concentrated dried skip-jack tuna fish (Katsuwonus pelamis, sometimes referred to as bonito ). It was a good addition to a small glass of sake in deed.

QV is a significant location in Melbourne CBD. It is a redevelopment of historic Queen Victoria Women's hospital site. Now it is a popular commercial central to various food courts and fashion clothing stores.

Hosier Lane mural art, Melbourne

 

This is a scene that reminds of the "No Face" in game of throne series. The spotlight happens to shine on the mask which is kind of spooky. 

I was on the mission to get some street candids. Then an unexpected view turned up.

What is the purpose? Federation Square, Melbourne

He only managed to stay in the middle of no where for about 10 minutes. While I was drinking coffee, I saw him packing everything to leave the spot altogether... Why?

Pesgrave Place Melbourne for Sign2

 

In this laneway, there are many signs and typography. I spot something I do not understand. 

Mum got shingles last week. It took a lot of trips to get her antiviral and capsaicin cream. Then chest pain happened. I took her to ED waiting for hours. Now I am taking her to colonoscopy. Hope she is alright. I am very worried.

Hosier Lane Graffiti, Melbourne for Mural Monday

 

I notice the quality of murals on Hosier Lane becoming worse by the day. 

This is a toad fish trying to paint glue instead of sniffing it?

Ishizuka Melbourne Cuisine for Randomosity

 

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.

Hosier Lane Mural for Mural Monday

 

Hosier Lane again, Melbourne. This is from archive. The good old day

My brother tells me that he feels like he works so hard, but the bank account balance is not going up. Yet, he lives a frugal life. I somehow feel similar.

Gonna get back to working mode again.

That is my buddy that we go out taking photographs of the places I research earlier in the week. I am the God Father for his kids even though we are not religious. Not sure how that works out lol.

Tenby point sunset, Melbourne

 

This is a long exposure of the mangrove habitat. The shore is rather muddy to walk on. Tons of mud to remove from my shoes before getting into my car ...

Tyama light magic, Melbourne, Australia

 

This light show turned out to be a surprise for a lazy photographer like myself. I just press the click without any hard work apart from walking from the carpark to the location lol
