Happy New Year

I hope 2019 came with bringing smiles and peace to you.

I took a flight to Japan on 30th of Dec at night, to spend new years eve and day with family there. My first week of 2019 was past as fast as giving one blink.

It was certainly short holiday, and despite the fact that it was really cold there (yes it was to me!) that it was in the range of -1 to 10 deg C, I was clear, energetic and had a great time. I forgot to take photos in many occasions during the stay, but here are some I caught.

I am glad to be back in here, and I will look forward having more sharing and exchanging photos and journals with you ahead!

A shrine for a goddess is at the back of the pond in the park.

One Word Sunday: Lines

These are belated my contribution to this week’s One Word Sunday, hosted by TRAVEL WITH INTENT.

The both are caught Sydney Harbour Bridge and Cahill Expressway leading from Sydney city toward north shore. I have been in Sydney over ten years and I never get bored of looking at the architecture, it is so elegant and admirable suspension bridge.

Full moon of the month

I missed taking her at moon rise on the full moon night because the forecast said that the evening would have been cloudy and I did not bring my camera when I left house in the morning. The forecast ended not correct that the beautiful full moon rose and I admired her beauty at the house as cooking dinner.

I got this chance next day at dawn. The moon was already set on the west of the skies but was still there clearly. Her beaming light could not be missed!

I think I have missed photographing full moon number of times (months?) this year. Sky condition was main reason of why, but I was not be able to make chances for doing it either (I would like to photograph just after the moon rise).

With the hope I will get some shots for 2 more full moons to come for 2018….
