Another bunch of interesting photos from around the city. Will probably have a new (more wordy) post up soon too :)
This (bad phone photo - don’t have a flash) was taken after walking back towards the city from the Watchmen premiere screening at IMAX. This little guy was just chillin’ out on the garbage bin getting some food and didn’t seem to mind us taking a couple of pictures. The funny thing is that a lot of the trees in this park have metal sheets wrapped around them to stop possums from getting into them, however there’s a couple of much larger trees which don’t have the metal around them and the possums clearly just climb those and then jump into the other trees, haha :)
A lifesize R2D2 made from Lego in Myer, coolest thing ever.
ROBOTS IN DISGUISE!
I can’t remember where I saw this graffiti but I really like it.
This solar powered electric bike doesn’t look like it would be very practical but that doesn’t mean it isn’t awesome :D I wonder how much mileage it achieves.
This poster is similar to the other Obama poster in the previous around town post, but the purpose completely different. I guess it was only a matter of time before people started cashing in on the icon Obama has become.
This was taken up near uni. My mum used to own a 2CV when she lived in England. She used to call it the “sewing machine” because that’s apparently how it sounded. I just think they’re cute.
Cool samurai prints on the door to the bathroom of Section8 in the city :)
Another picture from a bathroom, this time of a bar/restaurant. It didn’t occur to me that they were all quite phallic until I saw the vegetable on the far right of the second picture. Very subtle :P
Apparently manufacturers of digital watches and calculators are now cool enough to be used as graffiti tags. This was taken near the bowls club where some friends and I go lawn bowling :)
I accidentally trod on this poor guy when he was pecking around under my coffee table one day, so I thought I would immortalise him on the interwebs to partly say sorry (obviously I apologised at the time too :P )
I wasn’t sure if you were still checking your old blog, but I decided to comment here instead. I kinda liked your old blog name “A Touch of Phrost”, very witty. Although, I guess that name doesn’t really conjure the image of a blog for your thoughts, makes me think it should be some sort of mystery/crime blog or something, so it’s probably better that you changed the name.
Yeah, I won’t really be checking the old blog any more. I haven’t really posted in a while, but I will be posting more frequently again from now on.
Usually what happens is some idea occurs to me and I hurry to write a draft post about it, but then once I have the idea down in bytes I don’t end up posting it. So I have a few draft posts that just need cleaning up a bit before posting :P
