Days in the life of Snowy (aka Snowy World Tour)
-
MCL spot on observation. I found it weird, certain parts of the bay area smell 100% like sydney bush. Adaptability of plants and people dropping seeds/migration of birds etc other side of the world has pockets of same plants.
There's an explanation for that: they imported Eucalypts there!

There goes my bird and smugglers of seed theory :).
They do still grow really well. It's a funny planet when you think of it tho. Like this man made/described region of Sydney, why should it grow things so differently to east coast US. Plants are earth wide and have huge adaptability, if they didn't they'd be extinct. Man Made Labels

Yeah–importing them was a huge mistake though. They are exacerbating the wildfire situation out there, it's a real tinderbox thanks to how oily they are. In short, they're great, but not in that particular climate.

As I'd mentioned in the WAYWT thread, I popped down to an abandoned building today that is well on it's way to dereliction. Only had to slide through one fence and ignored just a handful of signs stating the privacy of the property.
Was both more and less interesting than expected. Never know what you'll find in these places, and the thrill of the find is always worth the efforts. Added it's fecking scary walking around on a huge lot that is dead still, for the most part. Then a gust of wind, or a bird, or a car drives by.

Public holiday today. Went down to a park near the city. Got some dumplings and steam buns, as well as taking along a Boss Coffee (Japanese vending machine coffee) I've been saving for MONTHS. Few others had the same idea-park that is; lovely day to sit in a protected area and soak up some rays.

I'd fit nicely in the sleaze/tourists overlap of that particular Venn diagram

Two weekend's worth of shots in here. Last weekend Mrs Snowy had a visitor down, so it was out and tourist about for us. Had a lovely 'hatted' Japanese Lunch (check out my egg boat!). An Asian weekend all in all with the noodle markets too.
Today, was my 'me time' Sunday. Spent it down by the water reading.
Both weekend did my best to get some random street shots in action, and pulled off at least one each time. I think I'm almost ready for Japan!
