Sorrento Coast Sunset

 

A while back, I was exploring sea caves along Mornington Peninsula. I kind of like this shot.

Inverloch Cave for Sunday Best

 

This cave collapsed early this year. Lucky I had snapped a few in here before. 

Love the B+W look

Mural at Box Hill, Melbourne for Mural Monday

 

It is the event of the week - Mural Monday. This mural sat here for a couple of years. It is not conspicuous inside a laneway that no one would dare venture inside here. What is the point of painting a mural then?

Thanks for the acknowledgment for the misadventure yesterday. It was really due to lack of planning and investigation into the area. My pal and I tried to climb the boulder rocky coast which would only surface in the lowest tide. We tried to get to the spot and get out of it within 4 hours. The whole area is covered by snake holes and snake eggs that broke as well. 

I guess I will get back to street candid shots again lol.

Old Melbourne Gaol

 

I took a ton of photos at the Melbourne Gaol. The place gave me creeps. Then the patterns and directional lights do somewhat feel artistic.

Lake Weeroona Sunset for Skywatch Friday

 

This lake has been my most photographed lake because it is within my walking distance from home.

Old Melbourne Gaol - Interior

 

It rains a lot whenever it is a weekend in Melbourne. Originally, I was going to do some urban exploration in Geelong. Then the plan switched to this simple visit to the old goal. 

Sorry Stefan. This is a weird lens fetish I have for ultra-wide angle lens :)

Travancore Sewage Tunnel

 

Urban exploration ends up in sewage tunnels. Stinking so much for the sake of photography.

My friend Joel is anti-google, anti-Facebook and anti-corporate. So I respect his wish not to include his face most of my shots of him in the frame.

Abandoned in Clifton Hill, Melbourne

 

One of my pals lived in this burb. We get our expresso in a cafe not far from this location every weekend.

Altona house abandoned, Melbourne

 

I am planning to post a series of abandoned urbex photos around Melbourne. It is not everyone's cup of tea; it is something to document my journey in this genre.

Abandoned in Castlemaine

Mungo Shearer Shed, New South Wales, Australia

 

It was always an obsession to seek the rusted and decayed and the abandoned. In this part of the world, this is where people come here to disappear from the earth. 

Funny I used to travel and explore alone. After a few occasions that I nearly left stranded in the middle of nowhere, I cut back on the activity. 

Now I do miss these sceneries.

Princess Pier in Melbourne

 

That is my buddy that we go out taking photographs of the places I research earlier in the week. I am the God Father for his kids even though we are not religious. Not sure how that works out lol.

Princess Pier, Melbourne

 

The underside of the Princess Pier is all rusted. The place stinks because of massive deaths of star fish. How lovely an urban exploration ends up in this ugly spot.

Pirate Bay, Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne

 

It has been a project over the past few years that I try to find these esoteric sea caves which were often immersed in sea during high tides. They are not easy to access but it has become an adventure since pandemic happens. 

The good thing about these sea caves is that no tourists come visit at all. But the bad thing is if anything happen to me, no one would know about it. Sometimes rogue waves would cover the sea cave opening and wash me down the cave into an abyss. The very thought does scare me from time to time. This is why I have stopped photographing sea caves now. Time to do something cheaper and safer.
