A night out - Tom's Sign2

 

After a hard day, it helps visiting some food joints chatting away with friends. Good that there is still one or two left lol

Old Melbourne Gaol

 

I took a ton of photos at the Melbourne Gaol. The place gave me creeps. Then the patterns and directional lights do somewhat feel artistic.

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?

Old Melbourne Gaol - Interior

 

It rains a lot whenever it is a weekend in Melbourne. Originally, I was going to do some urban exploration in Geelong. Then the plan switched to this simple visit to the old goal. 

Sorry Stefan. This is a weird lens fetish I have for ultra-wide angle lens :)

Mural Monday Event - around little Latrobe Lane

 

This was one of the older mural arts in CBD. Not easy to find. They looked like the comics I learnt in Japan.

Red-browed finch for Eileen's Saturday Critter

 

Red Browed Finch was spotted outside the public toilet in Cranbourne Park. I spent two days looking for nice robins to photograph. Ironically, she was just wandering outside the loo!

"Wrangler Sign" for Tom's Sign2 Event

 

Every once in a while, I would go take a rodeo shot. There is a sign at the back of the course, so I guess it is fitting Tom's theme. 

My pal has finally convinced me to join Mastodon on Sunday night. The experience has been pleasant! I am backing out twitter as a twitter refugee now.

Shoes hung up high in laneway, Melbourne CBD

 

I love shallow depth of field at one stage. It was what a lens geek would do. I have tons of shots on the shoes hung up in the laneway of Melbourne. I never quite understood why this was done first place.

My pals tell me it was a way to mark the sales point for weeds. Or it was a mysterious way to play a game.

Nullawill Silo Art for Mural Monday

 

I gonna resume my drive to the flooded region tomorrow. The photo was taken earlier in the year. 

So hard to motivate myself to do all these again. Climate change.

Japanese Ikaho hotspring Sign - for Tom's Sign2 Event

 

This was a hot spring resort where the whole hill was filled with hot spring common communal. This entrance is covered by the bath ducks that one can go in floating it in the pool.

Travancore Sewage Tunnel

 

Urban exploration ends up in sewage tunnels. Stinking so much for the sake of photography.

My friend Joel is anti-google, anti-Facebook and anti-corporate. So I respect his wish not to include his face most of my shots of him in the frame.

Abandoned papermill, Fairfield

 

This stair was actually quite wobbly to climb. The whole suburb is now turned into apartment complex. There was an abandoned mental health facility that was now demolished turning into an estate of some sorts.
