Both spotted off St Kilda Road.
For the fifth consecutive year, I shall eschew the practice of fireworks photography, as I am disinclined to endure the throngs of people that invariably congregate at such events. The second image, in fact, captures one of the roadside signs that pose a significant hazard to traffic—a veritable optical illusion for passersby. Even at the beaches, one finds an abundance of children and inebriates, who create a tumultuous environment for photographers. Therefore, my plans lean more towards an evening with Netflix and Disney.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
The fireworks crowd does not sound like fun! We don't even have any fireworks here. That sign should not be beside the road, I wonder how many wrecks it has caused. Love the first sign for Nine To Five!
ReplyDeleteAlways violence and crimes on New Year's Eve in public spaces
DeleteI love the first sign, but the second one is really dizzying.
ReplyDeleteThat 2nd sign was by the side road
DeleteQue tengas un feliz 2025 y que todos tus deseos se cumplan.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too
DeleteYou won't be the only one having a calm New Years Eve. If it's possible to avoid the crowds, that is always a good plan.
ReplyDeleteI had an early night. It was a nice sleep
DeleteMe too. I’ve done winter fireworks once (as posted today) and am not all that anxious to do it again, even though it makes me feel a bit guilty.
ReplyDeleteYeah same feeling lol
DeleteWhat a great sign 9 to 5, I love it.
ReplyDeleteCool signs. All the best for 2025 :-D
ReplyDeleteI tried Disney but found all the shows dull. Snowing here tonight. The people with too much money have been spending it on boring fireworks, and it has been going on all day, and we are still a few hours away from 2025. Gott nytt år.
ReplyDeleteEstoy mirando la hora y en cualquier momento comenzaran los oficiales del ayuntamiento, los podría ver como en las fiestas patronales desde uno de los montes que rodean la localidad pero el tiempo no anima a ir hacer fotos.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
I remember the 9 to 5 structure but not the other. Happy 2025.
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd photo is lovely!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you and yours!
Good choice Roentare!
ReplyDeleteBe well and have fun!
May it be a year with more creativity, mindfulness, writing and reading.
A year of Health, Peace, Love and Joy!
I hope the world has a happy 2025. Many of us here in the US are hoping that sanity will return someday. I want you to know that I appreciate your work, both the photography and your comments on my stuff. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove the 2nd shot.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
Happy New Year, Roentare. That could be a traffic hazard, though it's a pretty interesting sign!
ReplyDeleteoptical illusions, great photo! And that clock is very interesting!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post for the beginning of the year.
Happy New Year!
...you found GOLD!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Wishes.
