Yayoi Kusama Exhibition at National Gallery of Victoria for Treasure Tuesday

 

The exhibition of Yayoi Kusama was truly a sight to behold. Joel and I ventured there, as we were unable to journey to the coast due to a dinner engagement elsewhere. The exhibition was most enlightening. Yayoi referred to herself as the high priestess of Polka Dots, though Joel was of a different opinion. He posited that she should be termed the high priestess of Dildos, for nearly every second piece exhibited phallic structures projecting from all directions. Subsequently, I perused discussions of sexual liberation in 1970s New York, where the artist presented her work in Central Park. It then became clear. My apologies for the plethora of photographs here; I thought it prudent to keep them together for ease of reference.

St Kilda Pier Sunset for Sunday Best

 

As the sun descended towards the horizon, casting its final golden hues across the sky, Joel and I found ourselves in search of a place to empty our bladders. In the distance, the timeless silhouette of a classic kiosk café stood, a silent witness to our quest.

St Kilda Pier Melbourne for Water H2O Thursday

 

Returning to laborious pursuits after the festivities is indeed arduous. Behold this image, captured upon a blustery day, the sea roiling with tempestuous swells. The melancholic ambiance of the scene is rather striking to me.

I like the lamb commercial this year. A good laugh.

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.

Windsurfer at At St Kilda Pier, Melbourne

 

It was a trip to St Kilda Pier on weekends for sunset photo of the local heritage kiosk. Then it turns out the whole pier is under construction. 

This chap is very kind to service the spectators by doing moves close to the jetty. So I was literally taking the shots by 50mm focal length. How fun!

Vintage car on street walk in Melbourne for Treasure Tuesday

I recalled this was taken in St Kilda. Love the classic car look.

Long distance drive like 6 hours return day trip is becoming to get me after 10 years. It is bum in seat for that long without actual physical exercises. The weekend outing for nature photography is really the only chance to get fit a bit.
