Vintage Film negative wall art in Christchurch New Zealand for Mural Monday

 


A mural inside a shopping complex. It looks like a negative C41 with that 3D look on the wall.

I was not too impressed when I clicked the shot. Later, I actually love it more.

Now is the end of financial year sale. I have bought so many things this month more than any years prior. Now I am tempted to get Sony 12-24mm f2.8 but I must stop the impulsive buying!

I like the composition somehow. I enjoy the walk there

I spent the whole day hiking out around Ballarat area with Joel. Damn, the waterfall was completely dried out including the river nearby. That was a huge disappointment. In the end, we had some nice chicken Parma in a dusty general pub at a nearby country town. I swear the owner looks like a character from a horror haunting movie killing off tourists.  

Then Joel's electric car ran out of juice. We had to go to a town with limited fast charge. I believe Joel turned up the heating too strong for the cold weather here.

Lake Tekapo New Zealand for Skywatch Friday

 


It was still cloudy and windy. Lucky the cloud break allows some colours to enter into the frame.

Mount Sunday Edoras for Water H2O Thursday

 


I really missed New Zealand

Mum's mobile company just got sold to another one called Yana Amaysim. The name sounds like a scammer to me. She asked me to help her to verify the direct debit was still in place. I could not find the company on line until I break it up. The person on the phone sounds like a scammer too.

Alpine Parrot Kea in New Zealand for Saturday Critter

 


Kea was once treated as pests in NZ. In 1970, they went into extinction as the country wanted to protect their sheep grazing industry. Now, Kea is a protected species. They behave like seagulls trying to get my food all the time.
