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".

At Dockland, wake boarding competition can be so much fun. However, this district is considered a failure in modern Melbourne development 


This picture was taken by an old four third system which is ditched quickly by Olympus. I was so mad for so long when the company did that!
