Freemantle Perth for Mural Monday

 

Back in the days I went to Perth for a medical exam, I struggled to calm my nerves. So I took my camera out for a spin in the posh area of Freemantle. 

It was in 2011 I think. The year I passed exam too. So I love this city very much lol. A plate of pasta at the time cost me 48 AUD. It was still quite expensive by today's standard!

This looks like X rated for sure. Quite a visual impact though.

Collins Street Arcade Mural for Mural Monday

 

This was drawn on the wall of a Chinese restaurant joint. The painting was quite oriental.

Totally buggered after a whole night out with Joel for hunting Milkyway bow in Phillip Island. We got the shot before the dark cloud cover came in. Lucky for us.

On the weekend, Joel and I supposed to head to this Singapore Chili Crab restaurant. Then he had to go see an optometrist for a reading glasses. Then we ended up heading to Nylex Signs and Skipping Girl signage which did not light up at all. We went to Che the Vietnamese desert place and had best three colour ice there.

This was from a while back. At Hosier lane. The colour was popping so I took a snap.

I was going through an old uni album where Leonid and I were like inseparable twins. He is now the head of a bone marrow transplant department in US. Memory can be so much like old wine though I cannot drink alcohol because of gout.

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.

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.

Fitzroy Street Signs for Tom's Sign2 Event

 

Last Friday, a stroll in Collingwood area with my new Sigma 17mm f4. It was a pleasant walk while I tried a few cafes along the way. Not good for my weight loss journey.

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.

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

Quite comical to see a fusion of Japanese Manga and Taiwanese local style in the mural

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.
