Wisteria in Taipei for Sunday Best

 





It is presently autumn in Australia, whilst spring has arrived in Taipei. This wisteria garden is of considerable size, and many visitors gather here to behold and inhale the delicate blossoms of the wisteria.

I take great pleasure in its fragrance.

Joel and I await with great interest the forthcoming 50–150mm f/2.0 zoom lens from Sony, which is expected to retail for approximately 8,000 AUD owing to import tariffs. It is difficult to fathom that the successor to my current model, the A7R V—anticipated for release later this year—might approach a price of 20,000 AUD. Such figures are extraordinary, particularly for what remains, for us, a mere hobby.

  11. Indeed, expensive lens with the tariffs added but that's life, if we want thing we have to pay for them regardless or wait and see what happens.
    Beautiful plants are wisterias, love the colour.

  12. Melbourne's climate is ideal for wisteria, and our blossoms look attractive. But the Taipai garden is bigger, the beautiful flowers denser and the fragrance is stronger.

  17. In some parts of my country wisteria is considered invasive but not where I live. In fact, it isn't that common here, and I enjoyed this extensive display of this lovely flower.
