First signs of Autumn

I didn't really realize that I took a little break here at this space. I was in Perth over Easter and enjoyed the warm sun and some days off.

Being back here in Sydney it is Autumn and I love the changing light and colors and the fact that you can wear warmer clothes....

>> This made me laugh

>< And I really love the new Beach House song

On a ferry

On Friday after work I took the ferry for only one stop to the Opera to see the play 'This is our youth" with Michael Cera and Kieran Culkin. It was such a beautiful ride and I loved the blue colors of the evening.

What did you do over the weekend?

Some left....

After all the massive rain we had the last couple of days I like to look at images from nicer and warmer days.

Some random houses, with lonely plants, talking bins, old trees and from ceiling hanging chairs and globes .... And a photo at my favorite self-portrait spot with my new dress which I look forward to wearing when the sun is out again :)

I am looking forward to tomorrow when a very good friend of mine from back home is going to visit me for the weekend.

Happy Friday to everyone. ... Let's start the weekend with a Real Estate song

#8 Hi!

Thank you so much for all you wonderful comments on my last post. The street name is McElhone Place in Surry Hills.

I had the pleasure to go to two wonderful concerts this week. On Tuesday I saw Ryan Adams in an acoustic concert at the Opera House and he played two hours and I was impressed by his voice and how funny he actually is. On Thursday I saw a Small Club, a band from Sheffield. It was really really good and I loved that they started their set with this Pulp cover. Another pretty song and video is Two Cousins

Happy Sunday!

A street in Sydney

I found this street the other day here in Sydney which might be the greenest and most cat friendly one I have seen so far (how great is this cat image).

A street which was filled with pot plants, fairy lights hanging from one house to the next, with open doors and you could hear laughters or conversations coming out of the houses, cats lying on the street warming themselves on the warm asphalt, birds sitting up heigh watching the scene and neighbors chatting to each other...I think the pictures can't really capture the great vibe of this street.

Thank you so much for your comments on my last post...

Surry Hills on a Saturday

Sometimes it can take a week or even longer until I get a film in my camera full. On Saturday it almost only took me 2 hours....I saw so much while I was in Surry Hills..

#1 The house with the growing plants

#2 Tokyo bikes

#3 Bistrode

#4 ...

#5/6/7 The infamous Bourke Street Bakery

#8 Just loved this green corner ...

#9 .. and this yellow mail box

I love shooting film and enjoy it so much. On my trip to Tasmania in November last year I found another Pentax at the Salamanca Markets. This time a lot lighter and newer than the old one I used to use - for only $20 I was so happy to call it mine. The photos above are from the first roll I shot with it.
