Facade 86 - Cherry Blossom in the City

This is an image taken during cherry blossom seasons. A bit of O-cha and a bit of chilly wind makes the day rather special.

Sometimes doing nothing on a Sunday can be a real pleasure.

Facade 85 - Floral dream

This is a capture with my camera lowered to the ground level. The world seems so much bigger and the light seems to be more overwhelming.

This is not entirely a landscape photo but it has captured the essence of a facade including sentiment, abstract and flora.

I hope that your day is as fragrant as the rich variation of colours this picture imparts on your day ahead :)

Here is an article about

Wish you a very happy week!

Facade 84 - Coastline variation

This is an image taken by Pentax Fa 31mm ltd f1.8

The water appears green. Yet, the rock is yellow. This natural colour combination is almost unheard of against blue sky. The ability to render shadow details is never an easy task through Canon or Nikon lenses. This pentax 31mm is a gem to do this job well.

The scenery is along the coastline of Taiwan. The region was reported to be a result of ocean floor surfacing to the surface. Now the place is filled with vendors selling picked crabs, shellfish and alike.

Facade 83 - Weribee Wetland

This is a land filled with sewage and fertilisers. Stench fills the air and the flies hover around my lips.

The view is simply spetacular. However, there is this smell that is unbearable.

My other landscape images are in the following gallery

Facade 82 - Water stagnation in beech forest

This is an image taken at the end of a long hiking. 12 km into this beech forest located in southern victoria of Australia.

The mosquittos were as large as the size of black widow spider. Scary as hell. The moisture in the air were damp and suffocating.

Dreamy and spooky as I look at this small creek. I felt that there must be a lot of spirits nearby gently touching my face and spine...

Facade 81 - Falling sun in an abandoned field

An image like this tends to go well with whisky. Despite a chilly wind hitting my face really hard, I felt my stress was temporarily relieved in one of my hiking trip few months back.

The light is so warm visually but skin was chilled to the frosty state. The best part was that there was no mobile phone reception. I had all this to myself. The cooked congee helped me feel the awe of nature and I was absolutely in love with Australian landscape.

Facade 80 - Morning variety

This facade is not a landscape but a candid image of 3 people. A little amusing with an unflattering woman yoaning in the background. A cyclist finally got off the bike to walk towards the market while a young funky man eats his breakfast roll - A Turkish delight that is very well known locally.

I have an artist friend who asked me why I only stuck my facade photos blog to landscape images only. I decided to see the feedback from my audience :)

Thank you for all your hard support for me so far :)

Facade 79 - Grampians National Park

This image was taken by my voigtlander rangefinder camera R3A. The lens used is ultra wide 12mm f5.6 where the perspective is soooooo wide.

The place is filled with ancient rocks and texture. Beautiful part of victoria where I live.

Facade 78 - Mapple and water

This is Omni Waterfall. A place where free ocha is offered to people to enjoy the natural beauty, mixing the anion in the air with the antioxidant in the tea.

Beautiful place and cleanse one's mind

Facade 77 - Anderson Park

This is a park where weekend sports activity filled every corner of the ground. The place was immediately in front of my mum's house.

The only time to get some sense of serenity is the evening where all the unleashed had finished their pooing exercises in the park.

I have appreciated that so many people have supported my facade photo blog over the past 2 years. A fellow photo blogger suggested to me that I should start posting facade images of various topics other than scenery.

Help me to decide by voting the question on the right of the blog page :)

Thanks!
