The famous soap TV is written on the tram

Linking Tom's Sign2 Event

Light Tunnel on Broadwalk in Lake Tyrrell

 

My buddy from US is visiting. He is taking 2 kids to visit his parents in Australia. We were very good friends in medical school. All these ups and downs in study and career in the younger years resurfaced from the memory lane. 

I am not sure he will be into urban cheap eats or something more into the wilderness like the crazy adventures that I do. 

The recent obsession is Urbex in which I do not think a lot of people are into it. I often smell crap and human wastes in these abandoned urban sites. 

This image was taken in Lake Tyrrell again - a place I often frequent when I work in these remote outback towns. The light painting is done by an optic tube.

Lone Tree Sky Window

 

During a hike in Loddon Mallee Region, there are many natural windows to look through 

Freezing weather as usual.

Work is becoming busy again. Mum tells me that having work is a good thing. "Cherish it!" she says to me every time I complain about working all the time.

My photography pal got Covid. So my weekend is rather dramatic that he just called me every 5 minutes for his symptoms. I cannot even take a trip to the hills for a good exploration.

Mungo National Park and night sky, New South Wales, Australia

 

Willandra Lakes Region is wide and large. It is also a world heritage zone. The night time is actually not quiet. There are all sorts of sounds that are kind of spooky to hear. The night in the desert is pretty much alive. 

The view gets my adrenaline pumping.

Sunrise near Kyabram Victoria Australia

 

My buddy was on the phone with me the whole evening. He was isolating for his respiratory disease. The talk was all about managerial capitalism. In deed, my last 10 years of experiences in public sector is just for short term gain. Everything is so coded and benchmarked. Who gives it a rat about long term goals of the organisations?

I  guess the morning view like this is a better mood cleanser for me.

Mallee sky every night, Australia

 

Mallee region is said to be the part of outbreak if spies and murderers want to disappear from the world. However, I dont see any of them at all.

After work in regional towns, I always love to stop by the sides of road enjoying the sky.

Long exposure in this waterway turns out quite rewarding

Arid Lake Tyrrell Victoria Australia

 

This place is deserty looking. So dry and arid that it is almost iconic for toughness to live in the outback.
