Toucheng Old Street Facade for Sign2

 

This is an abandoned old street left from Japanese occupation era. 

The words on both sides of the entrance say

Exploding crackers get rid of old wax

Cherry Blossoms in the cold bring the spring

Balnarring Beach Mornington Peninsula for Water H2O Thursday

 

On the day, Joel and I were supposed to visit the abandoned submarine in Hastings. It turned out the wreckage was already removed! It was so upsetting. So we moved quickly to this nearby beach before sunset took place.

Cat Bay Sunset for Water H2O Thursday

 

It was a trip to west end of Phillip Island. Joel refused to photograph the famous broken jetty in the area. Instead, we camped at this rocky foreshore. Later in the night, we abandoned to do Milkyway because of my misreading of the moon rise time which was hanging brightly in the middle of sky. 

School holidays drive traffic even crazier than normal. I can't wait for the kids return to school.

Saltworks at Lake Tyrrell for Sunday Best

 

Third time in this location along the unsealed road of Salt works Rd. Many hares manically running away from me as I approached the lake side. I was meaning to go to a site with abandoned tractor coated by thick pink salt. I decided not to do that because of risk of being sand bombed.

Summer is definitely here. Time to get physical and lose some weight. Gonna start intermittent fasting again.

Easey Street Tram restaurants

 

On Thursday last week, I took cameras to camera clinic for infra-red modification. Joel was meant to do this a few months ago. He procrastinates too much. So I do it for us instead.

Next to the shop, this iconic restaurant that comprised of 3 abandoned trams were standing right there before me. I happened to have my new toy sigma 24mm f3.5 pancake. So I was snapping away like my fingers having spasms.

Cleveland coast Brisbane for Treasure Tuesday

 

Joel and I saw the sign saying "gorgeous Red Coast" on the freeway. So we made a turn and explored this region. It turned out Red Coast was not red yet quite dull to visit. Too built up for our liking. 

Then besides the mangrove bush, this abandoned old dock was observed. Few minutes later, the whole ground was covered in water.

Tenby Point for Sunday Best

 

This is where I sunk my feet into the mud to thigh level a few weeks ago. So this shot was the reward lol. 

Busy for the weekend. Suddenly my job requirement expanded to cover a few slack people who dont want to work on weekends.

I was planning to visit a nearby town for abandoned themes.

Mobile Silo Art for Mural Monday

 

The recent drive to Woomelang was to visit the 12 mobile silo arts in this abandoned town. 

The process of finding them around the town is like playing a treasure hunt game. I kind of enjoy it.
