Alfred Nicholas Garden in Mount Dandenong for Sunday Best

 

During the Easter period, I accompanied my mother on a stroll and light exercise in the garden. As is often the case, the grounds were bustling with activity. The foliage had not yet taken on its golden autumnal hues. I shall be away for the next fortnight, and thus may miss the opportunity to witness the full splendour of the season there. As the garden is open to the public without charge, it attracts a diverse array of visitors from various cultural backgrounds, many of whom gather for leisurely picnics.

Joel and I reminisced about our former schoolmates from high school, reflecting on the many friends we have lost since those days. It proved to be an enjoyable exercise in reliving memories of that time.

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.

Ikaho Hot Spring, Tokyo, Japan

 

This was taken on a trip to North Hot Spring few hours of train from Tokyo. The place is packed by people. The hike is quite laborious too. The scenery is not bad for the entire journey though.

Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves are classic to paint mood. I miss Japan.

This is taken by Pentax Fish Eye 10-16mm

Who says Fish Eye lens being quite bizarre and obsolete in photography?

I love twisted view just like how I view almost everything else in life.

Bewildered! What a view!
