Melbourne city night view

City Graffiti

Looks like some sort of amorphic being

Black and white photo of Joel

This is a black and white photo of Joel. He got some attitude when we dined somewhere in the city I think.

One roof over another

The eaves and roofs I saw from Forbidden city.

Lord of Ring experience?

On the Princess Bridge - south of Flinders station, Melbourne, he is a common sight. The music he played was often masked by the wheels... 

Still he added the colour to my trip to the city every time. :)

Port Fairy, Victoria, Australia

I recalled this place being really wonderful: the end of drive of great ocean road, Victoria, Australia. This is the nearest spot before reaching Warrnambool - the city that I might work in the following year. 

The water here looks so tranquil and peaceful. In fact, there is all deadly rifts underneath. Still with this wonderful cover of magic hour lighting.

Really cyan blue everywhere I see. This was really a moment.

Glass bokeh

This is a photograph of the handle at the front entrance of Gothic style cathedral near Melbourne CBD. Somehow the day light was dull and there were no many interesting themes in the city streets.

So f1.2 aperture wide open with Nikor 50mm. Surprisingly the rear bokeh is supposed to be harsh and ugly. The result was acceptable.

Shishamo BBQ

This photo was captured in the middle of Japan - Honshu where local vendor sells various local produce from the region.

I just want to make a note regarding a list of places I want to visit over the next few weeks in Melbourne.

1. Soft Tacos Chingon Cantina y Tanqueria - 413 Swan St, Richmond Ph 94295695

2. Meyer Lemon Tart - Albert St Food & Wine 382 Sydney rd Brunswick Ph 83546600

3. Aylesbury Duck Wayside Inn - 446 City Rd, South Melbourne Ph 9682 9199

Chairs in Forbidden city

The chair does make a good subject to view. The bokeh is quite creamy.

A walk in the city on Queen's birthday day

Photos would speak for themselves I think...

This building was recently made at Federation Square in the name of Earth hour... It looked sooo ugly that I doubt it was that environmentally friendly...

Here we go!

Looks very energy efficent by drawing some artificial lighting.

Now lets celebrate earth hour by using more electricity !!!!

So many people cared about earth hour... errrr...

If you are blinded by eye patches, sure you dont need electricity!

This is how I celebrate my earth hour lol

Yes, cooking is more fun using gas instead of electricity. Green house effect is a good distraction for us.

This guy supposed to teach us how to use the funnel and flask to distill coffee ... It turns out some chemical reactions undesirable!

Yeah, C grade class event today in city.

Mmmm I love coffee...

Little Collins St

Lets drink some soup.

Portugese chicken soup - A little too normal...

Smoked bacon pea and zuccini soup

Cafe life is very relaxing...

Long lasting melody

The end

Japanese Dishes

The images are all taken by Canon 50mm f1.2 L

The last couple of days are characterised by "happy go lucky" sentiment. Strolling the city without a purpose is a bit of fun really.

Joel and I tried out the many gourmet places to indulge ourselves. This dish is described as semi fried tuna abdomen with special sauce. It was very tender to taste melting at the tip of my tongue. Very nice in deed.

Seafood fried udon. It was a substitute for rice to improve satiety. But we really ordered too much...

Asparagus and bacon rolls. Very appetitising in deed. The sauce was too salty in fact. Joel spit out all the fat bits lol.

Good old sashimi to improve the fatty acid intake. There was this "oil" fish that gave us diarrhoea all day afterwards...

A bit of wine to colour the day. What a fulfilling day!
