Mele Kalikimaka - Jimmy Buffet (but I'm sure either Bing Crosby or one of the old crooners did the original version)
Years ago I heard someone say that you should find different routes to and from work, because it changes your perspective on things. Well there is another reason, the other route may be shorter.
After years of travelling the same route to and from work, I took a detour along the coast to avoid major gridlock. Having run this new route now for the last 3 days, I've come to realise that the speed limit maybe 20km/h slower; the distance a bit further; but I've cut out at least 20 traffic lights from the journey and managed to shave close to 10 minutes off the trip. So yes, finding a new route does give you a different perspective on life, and for me it's about 10 minutes less travel time. Nice.
Anyway, today's shot is of the trip home. It was a really windy day today, and I noticed the palm trees swaying as I drove past. So here's the shot, HDR'd of course and it's also only 26 days till christmas and 32 days till I finish my 365. More tomorrow.

Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters
Still sick and it rained most of the day, which is kind of perfect weather for doing nothing other than watching the cricket and sleeping. Ahh the life!
Anyway, looked out of the window and saw this view, with the dark clouds looming and thought that this was probably a waste of a perfectly good weekend, and it's a Monday tomorrow as well... great. More tomorrow.

Unknown Legend - Neil Young
Was sick all day today. An onset of the flu and fever and a killer cough meant that I wasn't up to taking any shots today. I'm going to make this quick. I took this last night at the exhibition building, HDRd it and viola. More tomorrow.

Kisses and Tears - Frank Sinatra
How's this for a shot of the day? Went out tonight and saw these guys perform on a single trapeze about 2 stories high. It was not till I was processing and HDRing the shot, did I see a tear rolling down her cheek. Amazing. It was emotional to see them perform, but the fact that she was crying just brings it to a whole different level.
I'm wondering what's going through her head? What sparked the tear? Was it the emotion of the performance, or did they have a fight before the show, was this to be the last kiss, the last performance? Or maybe he had onion breath. More tomorrow.

Cold Gin - KISS
Will make this a quick posting. Took this shot the other day at the Johnston Street Festival, at a bar. the reason being the bottle in question bears the name of my mother's family. Having never seen it before, I thought it was quaint and interesting enough (at least for me) for a shot of the day.
BTW all you hackers out there, don't waste your time using my mother's maiden name to garner passwords, I never use that as an option, I use... (ha nearly gave it away).
Did a bit of HDR to pull some texture out of the photo. More tomorrow.

Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
It's Wednesday night, so it's football night. I realised that I didn't shoot anything today, so with camera in tow, I went to football. Then it started to rain, so Camera + water = disaster, so no shots.
Anyway on the drive back, I took this while waiting for the longest lights in the world to change... twice!
I HDR'd this to get the texture of the concrete pillars, but I really like the total result. More tomorrow.

Little Green - Joni Mitchell
A busy day at work and then some. And now it looks like it's going to be a really warm night. The forecast calls for storms tonight, but all you can feel is the heat. Weather forecasting... in melbourne, it more like weather let's-roll-the-dice-and-pray-we-got-it-right.
Enough ranting. Today's shot is of the neighbour's plant. As a family, we don't do plants, well at least not in my household, but the neighbours have a very good looking balcony garden, so I figured might as well take a shot of it, just as the sun was setting just behind the greenery. More tomorrow.
