In Warrnambool, a lot of Asian restaurants are run by Aussie cooks. It took me a long time to finally discover a Thai restaurant with original Asian style menu. Now I am eating at it on the daily basis.
There is a location called Magic Rock off Warrnambool coast. However, I cannot access the location as I do not have a 4WD. That was one of my goal to finally get a pic from there. Pity

It supposed to be a stormy weekend. On Saturday morning, there was a 2-hour cloud break among the thick cumulus clouds.
I rushed through the routine and driving to a few locations in a hurry. Finally managed to get a few shots both in drones and camera.
Forecast is telling me another week of storms...

Since I arrive this coastal town, the rain has been non stop. For the weekend, I was expecting a terrible storm until a cloud break close to sunset hours. So I quickly fly my drone to get a view off Stingray Bay. The wind nearly took my drone away into the sea...
At least, I got a shot here and there before the storm took over. So sad.

It is often spotted around kangaroo Roadkills near Kerang. They love to feed on Roo's meats.
Very hard to capture them on camera as they are scared of humans easily

I have taken sunset shots from this location many times. Each time, the colour and the vibe are different.

Finally the wind was a lot less on the weekend. Finally a view I really like.
I am now in Warrnambool for a 5-week locum work. Hopefully I get enough interesting weather for photography.

I remembered there were times that the academic circle treated foxes as local pests. Eradication was encouraged.

Sunset without clouds is usually looking the same everywhere. Joel tried to get his feet wet for a shot he would hardly process after he got home.

We missed the lowest tide on the day. I believed the forecast prediction was an error. So we did not get to see Dragon's Head which was already immersed in the ocean. Then I tried to salvage the effort into getting a fine art shot if I could. This will do!

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.

This is found in Queen Victoria Market for a long time. I do not know the story behind it.

I think the distracting bokeh takes away the focus of the swallow

On the day, Joel and I were supposed to visit the abandoned submarine in Hastings. It turned out the wreckage was already removed! It was so upsetting. So we moved quickly to this nearby beach before sunset took place.

It was a twilight moment. I decided to do an orb spin with my equipment. There is reflection too.

I actually like the smell of the mangroves - a little earthy and muddy.

The sign says a school of grill technique by salt for Shishamo, which is a silvery fish commonly found in Japan Rivers in mountains. These fish contain roes that made the taste even better. This region was reknown for this.
