On the weekend before Joel taking on his trip to Saphire Coast in NSW, he took me to Mensho Ramen Tokyo

This lotus contains 4 smaller symbols that seem to reflect some sort of folklore tales.
The ramen was delicious but we both waited at the door for 1 hour ahead of the queue.
Chicken bone stock with Pork Bone stew.

This is a location once a home shelter of the local aboriginal population. The cave emits loud noise from the wind coming into the cave.

Despite this is called a mountain, it is pretty much a small hill. The bump serves a good foreground interest in astrolandscape. I guess this is a scouting attempt before Milkyway season comes this year.

I am drastically preparing for my work next week. It has been 2 months since last time I left the town.

Gloomy and dark. The mini waterfall is a bonus for the dull sunset. There is reflection in the water hole too.

I kind of dragged Joel along to this location again. We often encountered overcast sky with zero colours. The waves hitting on the rocks vibrate the whole ground steadily. This was often why I got crappy shots here doing long exposure. This time, the tide was unusually low that there was not much vibrations on the ground level.
Joel went onto the other side of this coast which was said to be popular with photographers. His view was photo bombed constantly and I could hear him swear from a distance. Haha

I bumped into this old song today. I loved the tunes so much.
Joel had a craving for Uncle Tetsu Souffle in city. So we took a stroll in this alley for snapping something.

A trip to N16 beach again. No flaming sunset but not too bad clouds.

I have seen my fellow bloggers doing a year's summary. Since I have been following some fellow bloggers closely over the years, I feel enlightened and touched somehow. Then I do my own blog review just on his daily photo blog. I did not realise I had taken so many photos this year. It is incredible.
Thank you for all the supports of fellow blog readers. It feels good to have my work be seen and commented on.

I make it black and white so the contrast is better. So hard to capture any raptor in flight. I can only wait til they park on the electric cables.

This town has a smell in the air. Like a sewage plant. Locals told me that there was a certain smell from the soil in town.

Joel and I went to Tenby Point on Christmas Eve before the torrential rain.

On Christmas Day, I have watched 7 movies. Chilly fish in a local eatery.

Every year, this looks same. I really want to go to Yarra River for the river lights installation, but I am scared to mix in the crazy crowd on Xmas Eve.

Joel and I headed out to a lovely beach near Tenby Point. He told me about a new gimbal camera that is coming onto the market by DJ mini. It would be a universal mount camera with a very low register distance. So it can take any lenses from any major brands. How exciting!

I was here for a long exposure expedition. It turns out a quick snap works out better just needing a better timing on the wave.

It was really windy. Actually, windy for the entire month I was in town. I had to take a shot before I left so this will do.

Tomorrow I am leaving here to take shots at Xmas scenes in Melbourne CBD!

I caught another moment of golden hour in Warrnambool

I will leave this town in 2 days. Joel rang me to confirm our trips during Xmas time. Funny I kind of miss his voice on the phone. We talked like 3 hours!

This mural sits outside the restaurant that I had seafood chowder which tastes fabulous. A bit sad looking.

Golden hour at Bay of Martyrs where historical genocide took place on local aboriginal population.
Almost every coast I visited was filled with terrible history. Not a good feel walking these trails.
I am heading to a volcano crater this morning. Also checking out a few limestone caves. Well, I hope I can find them lol.

Normally this coast is looking bleak and grey. Finally a moment of blessing.

This dusk took me out of a surprise as weather forecast predicted a whole day of continuous storm. The weather bureau department needs to be sacked altogether
I think I am done in this region. Another 2 weeks to go then back to civilisation.

Squatting in this beach where 22 children were massacred was not really a good feeling.
