Back Beach at Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne, Australia

 

Back beach is about 72km long along Mornington Peninsula. It is about 150km out of Melbourne but still getting classified as a Melbourne suburb. Some said Melbourne is similar to Los Angeles in US. It has a wide span really.

Love long exposure. Here we go, another "unnatural" photo.

Melbourne North sunrise for Eileen's sky watch Friday

 

Just in time coming back to Melbourne stormy weather. A nice stormy weather before sunrise in Melbourne North. 

There are 1 giga of travel photos in my hard disc. I gonna process them gradually over time. Funny that I received a call from my good pal for a nice Japanese dinner in the city. It is true that friends are older the better. I miss the home feeling.

Hofbräuhaus Melbourne - German pub in city CBD

 

Hofbräuhaus Melbourne is the iconic location that serves black beer and pork sausages. My Jewish pal loves the location very much that I always get dragged here for his feast. 

The vibe at night is always something special. Maybe it is because the place carries so much memory in it.

Melbourne Jail Ceiling

This is Melbourne Jail taken a while back. Fish eye view can add some interest to the frame.

Altona house abandoned, Melbourne

 

I am planning to post a series of abandoned urbex photos around Melbourne. It is not everyone's cup of tea; it is something to document my journey in this genre.

Lonely fountain in the concrete jungle, Spencer street, Melbourne

 

Solo stroll in the street sometimes gets moody shot after a bowl of ramen!

It has been so cold last few days. It takes 10 minutes to defrost the windscreen.

Sandridge Pier, Melbourne, Australia

 

Sandridge pier is the classic location to take a sunrise shots of Melbourne skyline

The pier is an easy access. I arrived at 4 am with a significant sleep deprivation. Well, anything for a photo. I did need quite a few more cups of coffee after this.

Shoes hung up high in laneway, Melbourne CBD

 

I love shallow depth of field at one stage. It was what a lens geek would do. I have tons of shots on the shoes hung up in the laneway of Melbourne. I never quite understood why this was done first place.

My pals tell me it was a way to mark the sales point for weeds. Or it was a mysterious way to play a game.

Princess Pier, Melbourne

 

The underside of the Princess Pier is all rusted. The place stinks because of massive deaths of star fish. How lovely an urban exploration ends up in this ugly spot.

Old Melbourne Gaol - Interior

 

It rains a lot whenever it is a weekend in Melbourne. Originally, I was going to do some urban exploration in Geelong. Then the plan switched to this simple visit to the old goal. 

Sorry Stefan. This is a weird lens fetish I have for ultra-wide angle lens :)
