Melbourne street signs for Sign2

 

Working on Sign 2 theme each week allows me to take more photo walks in CBD. It is fun to explore while walking some calories away.

Melbourne Street Signs for Sig2 and Happy New Year

 

Both spotted off St Kilda Road. 

For the fifth consecutive year, I shall eschew the practice of fireworks photography, as I am disinclined to endure the throngs of people that invariably congregate at such events. The second image, in fact, captures one of the roadside signs that pose a significant hazard to traffic—a veritable optical illusion for passersby. Even at the beaches, one finds an abundance of children and inebriates, who create a tumultuous environment for photographers. Therefore, my plans lean more towards an evening with Netflix and Disney.

Birrarung Marr Carnival for Melbourne Street Signs

 

My recent photo series included many candid shots, with various signs appearing in the frames. It was an enjoyable challenge to limit myself to just a 35mm f/1.4 lens. Despite the constraints, it required creative thinking to capture unique moments.

On Christmas Day, Joel and I are planning to visit an inland area to fly our drone, after enjoying some festive feasting with family, of course. I've noticed that there aren't many photography lenses on sale this year, so it's probably wise to save the money for next year.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy your photography adventures!

Hahndorf Signs for Sign2

 

Hahndorf, located in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, is Australia's oldest surviving German settlement. Founded in 1839 by German Lutheran migrants fleeing religious persecution in Prussia, the town was initially named after Dirk Meinerts Hahn, the captain of the ship Zebra, which brought the first settlers.

The town's layout was designed in a traditional German village style, with the Lutheran Church at its center. Over the years, Hahndorf has retained much of its German heritage, evident in its architecture, cuisine, and cultural festivals. During World War I, the town was temporarily renamed Ambleside due to anti-German sentiment, but it reverted to Hahndorf in 1935.

Joel enjoys his tea as usual.
