Hosier Lane Fox Mural for Mural Monday

 

I remembered there were times that the academic circle treated foxes as local pests. Eradication was encouraged.

Richmond Mural art for Mural Monday

 

This was taken a while back when I was still in university. I used to enjoy typography or topography sorts of city hidden arts. Graffiti it may be. They are marks left by the local culture.

Byron Bay Chinese restaurant signs for Sign2

 

I signed on a contract in Northern NSW few years ago. If there were any opportunities, I visited the towns in the region. In the posh over-rated Byron Bay, I frequented this Chinese eatery. The signs looked quite retro from 1960 Shanghai. The problem with that place is that there is a strong smell from Mould. No fun.

Brown Sugar Sign in Fitzroy for Sign2

 

I like this old sign photo from Fitzroy St Melbourne. Quite artistic.

It is raining in Bendigo. Overcast for a couple of days on forecast. Time to explore indoor exhibitions with Joel this weekend.

McKenzie Falls in Grampians for Treasure Tuesday

 

From one of the hiking trips with Joel in the past. This area is now always packed with tourists. White supremist group also frequent this area a lot. I haven't returned since pandemic. The area tends to cause a glare issue to any wide angle lens. The dynamic range requirement is very high for this frame which is what everyone wants to take a snap on. I will need to bring the new equipment to this place again.

Fatima Sign in Portugal for Sign2 Event

 

It was a sign that I came across while on holidays in Portugal some years ago. Good to rediscover the signs I overlooked.

Moonlight Head Beach for Skywatch Friday

 

This was one of the take I did in the past at Wreck Beach. I never seemed to get a decent weather there. 

Joel and I are planning to do this adventure again later this year. Mainly for astro photography along the great ocean road. Hopefully weather is better.

Street painted sign at Southern Cross Station for Sign2

 

At one stage, I see this sign everywhere in Melbourne CBD laneways, regional city walls and underside of most railway stations. 

This was one of them near Spencer Street Station

I recalled this one was so loud that it took a little walk to approach her. She did not move at all.
