De Graves St has the most overpriced cafe food in the city. It also oozes that noir feeling along the laneway.

This camera has a very sad sensor. Somehow, I like that worn out look though.

I just love her costume like what an Egyptian Queen would have worn 

By now, I have learnt from my Spanish blogger friends that these costumes are of central American origins. Mybe the festival parade should be labelled as "Latin Parade".

He was very tall. He was mumbling a lot in his jockey gear. He was not busking. He was just pacing himself in a circle...
