Hua Lien Beach View for Water H2O Thursday

 

Hualien is the meeting point of the Central Cross-Island Highway, Suao-Hualien Highway, and highways leading south to Taitung.

Hualien County is home to several world-class scenic attractions. In 1590, Portuguese sailors passed by the eastern coast of Taiwan and were so moved by the grandeur of what they saw that they named this land "Formosa," the beautiful island. Since that time, the majestic views of Hualien have come to represent Taiwan.

Formerly known as Qilai, Hualien's current name derives from the phrase "huilan" (eddying water), a reference to the swirling currents of the Hualien River where it meets the sea.

Hualien is Taiwan's biggest county, with an area of about 4,628 square kilometers and a population of 350,000. The county borders the Pacific Ocean to the east and is hemmed in by the Central Range to the west. With its towering peaks, azure skies, vast seas, scenic valleys, cultural diversity, and friendly kindhearted people, Hualien has become one of Taiwan's first-choice travel destinations for local and international visitors alike.

There are some 200 after quakes after the initial one 1 month ago. I am not planning to go anywhere near the location now.

Stingray Bay, Warrnambool for Sunday Best

 

This was taken on an overcast day. No good sunset to use but the water reflection creates a lovely pattern.

The cool shopfront from Taipei Central District for Sign2

 

This shop only opens at night. It is designed for people who takes acids I guess. Effects are more pronounced for drug users.

Tamshui Taiwan Dock for Skywatch Friday

 

The water was actually clean in contrast to my childhood memory. 

Tamsui Old Street is divided into the inner and outer side. The outer street is the golden anchor walkway of Tamsui river coast, while the inner side is a traditional old street lined with bustling shops. There are faithfully traditional pastry shops, groceries and stores selling trendy outfits and toys. The popular foods in the area include A Gei, fish ball, fried fish crackers, traditionally baked cake, Granny’s iron eggs, etc. are all must try goodies. In the evening, the beautiful scenery of the sun setting below the ocean horizon can be seen along the golden anchor walkway.

Stingray Bay, Warrnambool for Water H2O Thursday

 

The tide suddenly came in. The area was rather flat that the sea level instantly raised. 

I caught a bit of turquoise water before retreating.

Water Jetski LEGO for Sunday Best

 

I really admire the artist ability to make this. 

Joel and I have been flat out for the past 2 weeks. The weather has been suboptimal for any seascape photography. After all the errands for mum, I just work on binge watching shows.

Pinnacles Milkyway Bow for Water H2O Thursday

 

This was what Joel and I were up to last weekend. New moon. Zero cloud for 5 seconds though. It was after a hike elsewhere on Phillip Island. Then we had fish n chips before coming up here for a milkyway bow.

Light pollution is seen on the right. Thanks for the urban sprawl into this once peaceful island.
