De Graves St patrons for Sunday Best

 

The cardiology conference is so boring. The place is filled with wankers. The soothing walk during breaks is my refuge away from the mass of people into their own agendas.

Joel sprained his back. He was hurting like a baby. So we ended up going to city beach for a sunset. 

Pirate Bay rising tide for Treasure Tuesday

Joel and I are doing the routine weekly nature photography. It is good for happiness as I read from the latest research. The smell of the ocean is just so soothing.

Joel and I visited Pinnacles last night. After the usual routine getting the sunset shots and long exposure in some dangerous locations, we noticed so many wallabies staring at us on the grass fields. They were like scouts evenly spaced out into the horizon. It was so eerie. We also spotted a fox popping its head out of the wattle tree bush then roamed through the grass fields like a giant earthworm. Joel enjoyed it but I was rather freaked out. 

Tower Hill Warrnambool for Skywatch Friday

 

Not a flaming epic but quite dreamy.

Mount Alexander View for Sunday Best

 

Mount Alexander is a central for hikers in the region of Loddon Valley. It has plenty of snakes too. 

I was watching "Extrapolation" TV series. A phrase caught my attention. 

"Comfort the afflicted. Afflict the comforted"

Melbourne Skyline for Sunday Best

 

It was hot and humid. Instead of heading to the coast, I visited an old spot doing skyline sunset shot. 

A different feel

No 16 Beach, Rye in Mornington Peninsula for Water H2O Thursday

 

We missed the lowest tide on the day. I believed the forecast prediction was an error. So we did not get to see Dragon's Head which was already immersed in the ocean. Then I tried to salvage the effort into getting a fine art shot if I could. This will do!

Honeyeater in Cranbourne Garden is a guarantee in this banksia bush. 

Honeyeaters can be either nectarivorous, insectivorous, frugivorous, or a combination of nectar- and insect-eating

Rosella in Wattle Street Park for Saturday Critter

 

They are not sighted commonly these days.

Joel got me a good deal with DJ mini Pro4. So, I am taking it out for a spin at the coast for drone photography. Another wild weekend.

Waterfall Minoo for Sunday Best

 

From one of many trips to Japan in the past, this waterfall is most poetic. It feels like a waterfall in high mountains of China. The perfection location for photography.

Pentax K10D - surprising what a small sensor and old tech can create a shot like this. 

The double whammy - football final and school holidays render Melbourne impossible to commute. I tried the candid photography in Melbourne CBD yesterday which was quite a shocker. Carp parking fee tripled on the public holidays. Traffic was so congested. There were crowds everywhere wearing Collingwood or Brisbane T shirts. I learnt the lesson to stay indoor even though there was Moon Cake Festival happening today.
