St Kilda Sunset Series: Dark Gold

St Kilda is one of the inner city suburbs of Melbourne. Situated in the local government area of the City of Port Phillip, it was once considered a seedy and drug-ridden area.

The pier at St Kilda Beach looks over Port Phillip Bay, and the city of Melbourne.

The Narrows Bridge in Perth connects the wealthy Western Suburbs and the city to the Northern and Southern Suburbs.

It's a focal point of the river at the city, and was doubled while I was in Perth.

In the background of this shot the lights of South Perth and foreshore are visable.

Bareness...

I guess this is simple. A tree that has just as much promise to be full of life, leaves, birds, worms, possums, reflecting the sun's rays has as much chance as becoming berefit of all of these. It's the same for the person suffering depression - low energy, low mood, poor sleep and appetite, loss of enjoyment in hobbies... and it can affect any one of us.

A reminder why removing the stigma of all mental illnesses is so important.

City of Perth, not of My Birth; I love thee.

This truely is the easiest city in the world to photograph. Nothing else I've seen is so consistantly photogenic. Maybe its' the fact that this city in Australia is the sunniest in our fair land.

Hidden away like a gem, tucked in the southwestern corner of a huge barren land. It shines. I see it. I see it now, because I have left. And now I regret that. That life has moved on. And that those were the happiest days I can recall.

Perth will always be a spring day, birds singing, air fresh, light breeze, sun lightly warming my face. And bright colours.

Nijo Castle, Kyoto


Nijo Castle, Kyoto
Originally uploaded by ashish100.
Nijo Castle, Kyoto. The floorboards are constructed especially to creak in a way that sounds like a nightingale, primarily to warn the residents of an intruder.

No shoes are allowed in the castle, and it's still very highly preserved from it's original state.

I really liked Berlin. So crisp and clean - coming out of the shadows of Communism and into an era of economic development and social development.

This is a picture of a traffic signal button to let you change the light colour to cross the road. Later I'll post the Berlin traffic signal light box, which is also interesting.

ACM


ACM
Originally uploaded by ashish100.
In May, I went to Singapore. I found the ACM across the banks of the Singapore River, and what a gem it is. It has seperate sections divided into Singaporean, East Asian, SE Asian, South Asian and West Asian history. I particularly enjoyed the South Asian displays - the best articulation of Indian and Sth Asian ancient works and cultural expression I have found so far, and the only modern museum where I have seen Asian and Sth Asian art presented through its own eyes.

I do look forward to the day when South Asian museums in their own lands reach international standards.

When I was in the UK several years ago, I remember seeing the emergence of cutting edge artistic expression from first, second and third generation South Asian artists in the UK. There was a huge red thing in the foyer of the Tate Modern by Kapoor. Pity I did not get a chance to explore - a must for next time!

Was reading around (way too much time to waste) and I found some really interesting stuff - there actually is a Chinese community in Calcutta, it's the biggest in India, and there are something like 30 000 community members. I did some google image searching and came up with this - a little chinese girl, celebrating Chinese NY, in Calcutta.

I thought it was pretty interesting.
