I went to the parade about 1 and a half hour earlier just to have a chance to get to know people in the parade. there are all excited and very happy.

Teachers, parents, kids and everyone else .....

 I do not know why but this photo above is the photo I like most. I am not familiar with taking photos of people so this might not be a perfect potrait shot but I do really like it.

I found that taking photo like this is so much fun. I made a lot of friend that day, met people, chatting, took photos of them. This is more enjoyable than driving a car looking for a good spot and capture the photos this is more like capture the moment.

A lot of people are waiting on the street, there are all excited.

Well, not just people in the parade are in the costume.

What's a great day !!!

Table Cape, Wynyard Tasmania

This trip was like a crazy trip. I got up at 5 in the morning 'cause I wanted to have a lazy trip up north to Wynyard. Well, I thought that I could stop by every now and then so that I could enjoy a journey and get some good photos. Wynyard is only 2 hours away form where I live. About nearly an hour after I took off, the sky was still dark but it was not because that the Sun has not raised yet. It was olny because the cloud was so thick so that one would not be able to get a glimpse of any sun shy. I was so confused and finally decided to turn back home.

Later that afternoon, the sky seem clear so I got to my car again and heading north. This time I did not wish to get to Wynyard at all since it was very late afternoon and I would not get to have a decent light condition for photo taking by the time I got there. I decided to spend a night in a small town relax and enjoy my holiday and I am gald I did that, it was a peaceful night.

I got up about 10 o'clock in the morning and this time the  destination was Table Cape, Wynyard. 

On the way to Table Cape, there are a lot of tulip farm alongside the road and it was so beautiful. The weather today was quite annoying. It was raining every 20-30 minutes and then a very clear sky. I had to stop at some spots for like half an hour to wait for the cloud to be gone and the Sun shined thru the bright blue sky.

Some of these photos are taken right after the rain was gone and not so long before the sky turn bad again. Well, I am not a big fan of flower. In fact, I said no twice last week to my friends when they asked if I wanted  to come here with them. But I am glad that I finally came here. This was not a bad experience at all.

What can I say. This was a wonderful trip on a colorful ocean road.!!!

to see more, feel free to visit my Bloomin' Tulip Gallery.

Just want to say Good Morning !!!

It has been a while since I have time to organize my photo album in my own computer. Today I am quite free, so I took sometime to clean up my computer. cheer.

After a trip to Mt Ben Lomond, my friend and I decided to go somewhere nice and warm with a reflection of light upon the water. It was not a realistic dream to go somewhere that warm in Tasmania at the moment. Well at least there are a lot of water here in Tasmania since this is an island state. Instead of ocean view and beaches we decided to go to a lake called Great Lake, an apparently largest Lake on the Tasmanian map.

The lake is located on top of the high land and indeed very huge. I did not really expect the lake to be on top of the mountain like this nor did any of my friends. Each and everyone in the whole group only wore a not-so-thick jumper and not so long up the mountain, we realised that this was not going to be a nice and warm trip.

We did not got out of the car for longer than 15 minutes each place we stopped by or we were gonna get cold. And this taught us that next time we are going somewhere, make sure that we wear a proper outfit.

It has been a not so cold winter so far and I had my doubt that there will be enough snow for skiing this year. However after nearly a week of pouring rain, my friends and I decided to drive up Mt Ben Lomond, the only ski resort in Tasmania. Upon reaching the top of the mountain, we only spotted couple of cars going the same direction. There was no doubt that there were going to be just a few people up there since the ski season had yet to begun.

I had always used to the resort, packed of tourists, where I can hardly be able to get a beer, let alone to find a seat. But this was the first time that I could find the best spot next to the fire place and drank a glass of very fine local premium beer.

After warm up myself a bit with a couple of beers, we took off and getting ready to go and take some photos. Yes, you heard me right, photos. This time, I did not really come here for skiing at all. Even though this is not my first time seeing snow, it had never stopped excite me.

And of course, there was nothing better to do except to taking some photos here, well, lots of them.
