Fitzroy Signs in Melbourne for Sign2

 

Fitzroy is such a cultured suburb. I avoid visiting the area at night. Joel and I often played snooker there.

Fitzroy Murals for Mural Monday

 

These portrait murals have stood there in Fitzroy for many years. 

Fitzroy, Melbourne, is renowned for its vibrant street art and murals, reflecting the suburb’s rich cultural and political history. Murals began appearing in the 1970s, influenced by global political movements and local activism. One of the earliest and most famous is the Charcoal Lane mural (1985) by Megan Evans and Les Griggs, which celebrates Fitzroy’s Indigenous heritage and the community’s struggles.

During the 1990s and early 2000s, Fitzroy’s walls became canvases for graffiti artists and muralists alike, with iconic works appearing in laneways like Johnston Street and Rose Street. The area’s murals often feature themes of social justice, environmentalism, and Aboriginal rights, blending traditional and contemporary styles.

Brown Sugar Sign in Fitzroy for Sign2

 

I like this old sign photo from Fitzroy St Melbourne. Quite artistic.

It is raining in Bendigo. Overcast for a couple of days on forecast. Time to explore indoor exhibitions with Joel this weekend.

It was a really low key weekend. Joel and I did not get the skating rink candid as they are all kids. We want to avoid the controversy. So it was just a lovely Italian lunch that we end up reading about climate change being the worst in 2023.

The lips are very thick in this fish. The eyes look possessed too.

Back from a trip to Noojee on Saturday. The hiking was exhausting but the photos were worth it. Both Joel and I fell into the cold creeks and we both got our injuries. So I am still sore from the trip.

This mural is really reminding me to cover my nose too. Stench is everywhere in that area.

Gelato Girls & Boys for Sign2 Event

 

I was testing out Sigma 17mm f4 pancake lens last week. The stroll was quite relaxing as I observed all sorts of weird design and colours in the hippy Fitzroy Street. 

I did not realise it was a full moon last night. No wonder all the people at my clinic were super mad.

Fitzroy Street Signs for Tom's Sign2 Event

 

Last Friday, a stroll in Collingwood area with my new Sigma 17mm f4. It was a pleasant walk while I tried a few cafes along the way. Not good for my weight loss journey.

Cecil Street, Fitzroy for Mural Monday

 

Apparently face portrait like this one sits in this street for about 5 years. I never knew about this. 

I received my new toy pancake lens Sigma 17mm f4. I had to take it for a test run in the nearby streets.

I am busy finishing my piled up work this week before taking off to overseas again. Time to get things in order in my home country - Taiwan.

The weekend was a stormy one. I cannot even get into CBD due to congested traffic at 21 pm!!! 

This shot was from a stroll a while back. It was nice that I discovered the best deli for sandwich.
