Sydney trains - Yashica SLR film camera















































By the way, this is one of the old train carriages. Click here (a post from early last year) to see a slight glimpse of the new "millenium" trains we have in Sydney :)

Macquarie Point #2




































As much as I do complain about Sydney being small and boring, it really is a beautiful city.

Macquarie Point, Sydney - Yashica SLR film camera



























































































Before catching up with J, I went on a walk around the city and eventually went all the way to Macquarie Point at the perfect time - during sunset. It was really quite stunning.

I have more photos from that walk (second roll with my Yashica) and will post them up eventually.

Remnants of Autumn



The weather was wonderful for the past few weeks but now it seems that it has come to an end.
It's currently raining, the sun is covered by the grey gloomy clouds and one is required to wear scarves, coats and boots to beat the cold.

Meadowbank Wharf, Sydney - Yashica SLR film camera





























From top to bottom:
A seagull perched on the pier overlooking Ryde Bridge and Parramatta River; a mini-beach(?) next to the wharf; soccer field; colours on the goal posts; wattle tree


More test shots I took with the Yashica around my neighbourhood. Can you believe this was taken in the middle of winter?
I live across an expansive park next to Parramatta River and while I was taking a walk I realised how much I took it for granted! I mean, I was in awe of Ooka River in Gumyoji back in Japan, but this park is a hundred times bigger, greener and prettier!
The last photo is a wattle tree - the national colour of Australia comes from this plant :)

I want to see..


























...the world. I want to travel....

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain
