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.

This is a mural I would have forgotten in the hard drive if I was not searching for a mural to post on this event

Taipei Street Mural for Mural Monday

 

This was in a scary looking back alley in Central Taipei. 

The characters did not make much sense apart from suggesting progressive.

Melbourne is cold too. Despite me paying the bill, mum's frugal approach to simple life means no heating at all (I spent 20k AUD on the 26 sheets of solar panel and a battery too). She even developed chilblains in her feet. The generation. 

My trip to Cape Woolamai did not happen as the gale was up to 40 knots. The weekend weather was not fitting for me to go into the nature at all. Plus mum and brother were nagging me to stay home boy instead. So I ended up trying the best winning 2023 pie in Australia - I will show later on.

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.

Taipei Mural in Ximengding for Mural Monday

 

It looks very odd. It feels Bolognese sauce gone wrong in human brains.

This is the mural from the time I was in Taipei. 

Just got home from Queensland. Rushing through all the work preparations for next day. The conference was a good break first time in my life.

It looks more like the artist was on LSD of some sort

I gonna stay at home for the entire day. Getting a new central heating in the house. I have waited for 4 months for it.

Ximending Street Art, Taipei for Mural Monday

 

This was one of the murals on my trip in Taipei Taiwan. A boring central district but a stroll on the graffiti street was fun. It took a while to find.

Taipei Street Mural

 

A typical Japanese style underwear worn by most silver hair in Japan. The mural suggests a gambling problem running away from Mahjong.

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.
