Kilcunda afternoon sky for Skywatch Friday

 

Kilcunda is becoming more popular for photographers. It is an ideal location to get full milkyway belt above that particular dune. 

However, this place caused me a lot of incidents - camera drowned in that very river, tripod getting taken into the sea, hand and leg lacerations etc. I am told that all haunted places either have a lot of moisture or underground water source.

Creek in Warburton, Melbourne

 

Creeks flowing. A way to let the worries go.

Forest in Warburton, Melbourne

 

Forest in winter is therapeutic for one's soul. Minus the mosquitos, leeches and potholes. 

Coming here requires a commute through Warburton the town known for various cults quarters based in it. The only thing I like from the town is the bakery that sells apple pear pies which is to die for. I even had a photo from it, getting promoted on "In Explore" on Flickr. How bizarre. It was a mediocre shot!

Cost of living went up. I am trying to get some photos to farmer's markets near my home in country Victoria. I came across this one. So I put it up here since I already made the effort of finding it lol

The cascade, Metcalfe, Victoria

 

Normally this creek is dried out completely. When it fills up, it is nice to do a long exposure

The turbulent water without long exposure gives a different feel

Mount Taggerty river has that edge. The ambient and graceful water flow.

Little Snow River Waterfall

This waterfall was a splendor. It only exists after rain. I still remembered the day I was lost in this national park and my tyres were all deflated by pointy rocks...

Rowing Boat

As usual, this tricky fellow took me to this particular E. coli infested Yarra river making an adventure out of paddling a semi-sunken canoe. The freezing temperature of the surrounding did trigger the hybernation reflex in my system. However, listening to him talking about all the hallucinogenic dreams of wise investment in wind power energy does strike me that he could be a likely green party supporter. Despite all these uninvited stimulus on a cold afternoon, this made my day...

The tender brachiradialus muscle released endorphine for my extremely addictive nature. That came unexpectedly.

The wet thigh from osmosis of water deriving from bottom of the canoe gave me that spinothalamic tract seizure. I did feel alive.

The familiar nagging and hassling from an old time friend really made the experience worthwhile.

This picture was a snap look on how I remembered about him from many years ago.

Though you were on the flight back home. Leonid, you are home to my lost soul.
