Penny Weight Walk Mural in Bendigo for Mural Monday

 

I know this is done by a local artist who is quite well known in Bendigo. I just cannot remember his name any more.

Duckboard place for Sign2

Champaign drink for Treasure Tuesday

 

It was a lovely drink for my birthday that Joel treated me for a good Italian meal in Collingwood.

Infrared State Library Crowd for Sunday Best

 

The camera modification is having a low pass filter removed with the sensor primed for n520 wavelength. 

The result is that it should not be used for landscape lol. It does create a good look for people and candid though (at least to my naked eyes). 

Joel is not a fan of candid photography. So I took my stroll in CBD this week. It is not a reliable tool but it can get some nice tones.

Westpac Bank Sign for Sign2

 

In one of the nights out in CBD, I like how the sign was lit up revealing the pedestrian's face.

Portrait for Mural Monday

 

This wall mural is inside a corridor in a building off Russell Street Melbourne.

I spotted a chap coming out of a Chinese eatery, who bought some take away. He was yelling at all the Asians coming into the store "Get some real food!". That really made my day.

Ishizuka Melbourne Cuisine for Randomosity

 

Expensive meal for Joel's Birthday. We were still hungry afterwards, so we went to a dumpling alley. 

I realised the photos would be buried in my hard drive forever after the occasion. I might as well post them here like a diary.

Old China Town eatery for Treasure Tuesday

 

I was taking a stroll last weekend. After a nice dining for Joel's Birthday. I came across this old building again. In university days, I ate there a lot. The food quality declined badly over the years. The cook added rice powder to all the dumplings before they get fried. Cinnamon is also added to the stuffing. It is just not the same anymore.

Mount Dandenong Tea Room for Treasure Tuesday

 

This is a tearoom that mum and I came to try in a cold winter day. 

The place was ambient until the kids came rushing into the door.

Easey Street Tram restaurants

 

On Thursday last week, I took cameras to camera clinic for infra-red modification. Joel was meant to do this a few months ago. He procrastinates too much. So I do it for us instead.

Next to the shop, this iconic restaurant that comprised of 3 abandoned trams were standing right there before me. I happened to have my new toy sigma 24mm f3.5 pancake. So I was snapping away like my fingers having spasms.

Bendigo Stupa of Universal Compassion for Treasure Tuesday

 

This stupa is so close to my Bendigo home. It is free. It is always quite peaceful to walk in its gardens. The biggest emerald jade Buddha in southern hemisphere is located in this stupa (how many countries are there in southern hemisphere anyway?).

This was one of my usual candid shots in the area. Somehow the signs do pop a little.

Forest Glade Garden for Treasure Tuesday

 

Well, I do not own this statue. But I tend to visit this private garden opened in Spring and Autumn. The garden is located in Mount Macedon 1 hour drive from Melbourne.

The statue is a little weird that one dude is staring into another dude's private part. Quite a focus on the facial expression too.

This was taken 1 year ago. This was a nice event where different types of transformers were moving and lighting up above cargoes.

Abandoned Holden Car for Treasure Tuesday

 

After a busy day, I feel so unmotivated to do my daily walk in the park.

For a while, I had an obsession to photograph old, abandoned car. Kind of treasures for Treasure Tuesday

Erskine waterfalls, Lorne, Victoria

 

Erskine waterfalls is very popular along Great Ocean Road. I used to frequent this location in university days once a month. There is a large Spanish population residing in this town. Local Paella is very nice which is only cooked up every Sunday evening.

Mobile Silo Art for Mural Monday

 

The recent drive to Woomelang was to visit the 12 mobile silo arts in this abandoned town. 

The process of finding them around the town is like playing a treasure hunt game. I kind of enjoy it.
