Soccer

Even though Rugby and American Football is more well known across Australia, as compared to Soccer, the multi-cultural heritage of Australia still keeps the game going.

Garbage

One thing that I hate about developed nations is the way they discard their "useless" stuff. Just put it on the pavement, and the garbage van shall take it. Why? B'coz getting some porfessional to take it will cost them money.
This is just in front of my apartment building (the one that you see on the left)
There is another pic here. You can see the number of TVs and other electrical appliances put on the pavement.

Pink

A pink wallet. The first one that I saw, I decided to take a picture. The owner, Amy, was sitting next to me on the bus. She hopefully still doesn't know that I took this picture !!

The Endeavour

On our way back we saw the Endeavour, a replica of the Captain Cook ship that first sailed into the harbour. The Endeavour, after a five month voyage from England was returning to Australia!

Hubby wait

I saw these 2 ladies outside the National Museum of Australia, Canberra. Just after I took this picture, their 'hubbies' turned up, and they sped off in a Merc!

Caught with a smile :P

These two Russian girls were with me on the bus when in Canberra.
While I tried to take some 'street' shots, I realised I was being watched while I worked.
So, I thought, I'll shoot my viewer. But she caught me in the act!

Going once, twice, thrice! SOLD!!!

These kinds of 'For SALE' posts come up on every street in Sydney. The thing that I found amazing was the ease with which this helped the sale/renting of apartments/houses. I would definitely love to see a thing similar to this in India happening soon!

The Car spoilt it all

When I took this shot, I didn't notice the car.

Now, it makes a telling impact on the picture, I guess because of the sepial colour scheme.

The Cleaning Lady

This is the 'cleaning lady'. I call her that, coz she wanted me to do so! And what I got to learn from her: its the old people who work, the young (like me!) just laze around and take photographs!!
For my complete learnings check out my blog I am Write

Drink and Drive

The message is clear, you save when you buy lots of liquor, and then you also get discounts on petrol at a station nearby. what more would you want?

Don't know how to get the sea clearer.

Any help anyone?

The Crowded village of Leura

Villages are supposed to be free of traffic, and small quiet places. One look at the parking on this road speaks the truth!
