Pentax

It worked. The pentax I got at the flea market works and I am really excited about this very different experience. It makes me leaving my digital camera at home for a while....and wander around with the pentax showing it my favourite parts of the the city. Somehow the pictures feel a bit more special as it took a while to actually see them and hold them in my hands and think about the moment I actually took the picture.

Like when I was at the great Japanese Kinokuniya bookstore, when suddenly this great light was shining in....or in the French bakery, which is in our neighbourhood and sells brioche only Fridays and Saturdays and I can smell its wonderful mouthwatering bakery smell already meters away.

I have a couple of more pictures, which I will show you soon.

Four

On my last weekend in Hamburg I got a polaroid film from this lady. Well, on Wednesday I took the polaroid camera with me and shot these four pictures. They turned out so well and I was quite happy as my last film (yes, it was expired) showed spots all over the images. Thank you so much again Frau Sieben : )

#1 some more stripes

#2 and again beautiful tiles

#3 the café next to the pool I go swimming. I really like their orange chairs

#4 I would love to go the opera house and see a nice concert. Hopefully I find something nice soon.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

A Monday walk

Did you have a good weekend?

I went to this pool in the Botanic Gardens yesterday. It was so great to swim a few lanes, to read in my book afterwards and just walk home with the towel over my shoulder. I really enjoyed this and plan on doing this more often.

And today was another very nice Spring day here in Sydney. I decided to go out for a walk and also bring my camera with me...

#1 I was fascinated by the plants which seem to grow out of this building

#2 Some street art

#3 The sun was just so beautiful today

#4 birds

#5 An anchor, which made me think of Hamburg

#6 I love this tree with its amazing red flowers - it is so exotic to me

#7 'llery'

#8 Some fruits and veggies for a nice Spring soup

Oh and tomorrow is a special day here on Schorlemädchen, you should pop by again and see what is happening :)
