Willandra Lakes Region is wide and large. It is also a world heritage zone. The night time is actually not quiet. There are all sorts of sounds that are kind of spooky to hear. The night in the desert is pretty much alive.
The view gets my adrenaline pumping.

This was taken during a disappointing adventure to Phillip Island. I was meant to discover a meteor shower at night for the wonder in the night sky. Instead, the thick cloud cover came over my head leaving me in despair. All the effort down the drain that the sky was looking so opaque without colours. Then I set up the gear pointing at the shipwreck in the water.

This week is raining nonstop. I ended up having with dining spree with my friends. Quite a bonding experience.
Photographing in the backyard is very convenient lol.

Last night, I had some fine food at a city Japanese restaurant. I did meet a friend but my whole focus was enjoying the dishes off Ala Carte menu.
I will be heading out with Joel for his birthday dinner tomorrow night.
This is taken during a low tide at Brighton's beach. The night scenery is not bad.

Every night during my walk around this lake, it gives a different light. This night, I happen to have my camera with me.
It has been raining in Melbourne. More rains to follow in the next three days. So I will be hitting some fine dining places with Joel.

Mallee region is said to be the part of outbreak if spies and murderers want to disappear from the world. However, I dont see any of them at all.
After work in regional towns, I always love to stop by the sides of road enjoying the sky.

On this night, I took night shots in Gold Coast and Brisbane. Joel and I went back to hotel after 2 am. That led to a late riser next morning ready for an adventure to Lamington national park.

A late post this morning since I had another adventure last night. It was fun searching for a landscape. There is no time to re-examine the work last night. However, I am so buggered this morning. Sore muscles everywhere

This is the royal botanic garden. It costs 55 bucks for all time entry. No refund possible. Joel and I came here ready to shoot on Thursday night. This lake in the garden is usually quite boring for me. Not that night.

My buddy from US is visiting. He is taking 2 kids to visit his parents in Australia. We were very good friends in medical school. All these ups and downs in study and career in the younger years resurfaced from the memory lane.
I am not sure he will be into urban cheap eats or something more into the wilderness like the crazy adventures that I do.
The recent obsession is Urbex in which I do not think a lot of people are into it. I often smell crap and human wastes in these abandoned urban sites.
This image was taken in Lake Tyrrell again - a place I often frequent when I work in these remote outback towns. The light painting is done by an optic tube.

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.
