Windows in Castlemaine
We went to the Buda Historic Homes and Gardens a few years ago and it seems that I have forgotten to post this window. Visiting Buda felt like stepping back in time. This beautiful villa in Castlemaine, Victoria, was named after Budapest by its Hungarian owner, Ernest Leviny. Home to the creative Leviny family for…
A quiet adventure
“Not all adventures are loud. Some begin with a quiet road, an open heart, and nowhere in particular to be.”- Unknown This week’s Lens Artist Photo Challenge is led by Anne-Christine with the theme of Adventure. As some of you may or may not know, I only started travelling later in life. Looking back now,…
Seats in Da Nang
On our last day in Da Nang, these bright blue seats were at the front of the restaurant where we had lunch and they immediately caught my eye. It was very hard to miss… Xingfumama’s pull Up a Sear Challenge
Floral Friday: Pink Orchids – 44
I don’t really remember where I took this photo. But anyway, it is pretty so I have to post it. Floral Friday
Yellow & Blue Doors in Hoi An
I can never get enough of Hoi An. I love its doors. There are so many of them that I can never remember which one is which, yet each has its own quiet charm. Some weathered by time and painted in yellow and blue rich colours. Every door seems to hold a story … and…
Where Memories Stand Still
This week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge is from Sue, with the topic of Figures in a Built Environment. After much deliberation, I thought that I would post something fun. These images are more than just fun photographs…they are memories. Each statue marks a place visited, a moment shared, and a story that will be remembered for…
Orange
The sky takes on shades of orange during sunrise and sunset, the colour that gives you hope that the sun will set only to rise again.”– Ram Charan Orange is the colour of my favourite season…. And according to Frank Sinatra “Orange is the happiest color.” Dan’s CFFC
Tuesday Streetart: AC/DC Lane (2) – 132
AC/DC Lane is one of Melbourne’s most famous laneways, named in honour of the Australian rock band AC/DC. Walking through ACDC Lane felt like stepping into an open-air art gallery. Every wall is covered with colourful murals, graffiti, stencils, and street art, each telling its own story.
Villa Escudero Souvenir Shop
I have posted about my trip to Villa Escudero when I went on a holiday to the Philippines in March 2026. The exterior of the Artikulo Souvenir Shop at Villa Escudero is a work of art in itself. Its rustic wooden windows sit beneath a striking mural of blooming flowers, a graceful carabao, and native…

A Walk in the City in Monochrome
Walking the streets of Melbourne in monochrome is a completely different experience from seeing the city in colour. Our main destination for our walk around the city was the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria), where we were booked for a Drop By Drawing Workshop. But before we even got there, Melbourne had already started inspiring…
Floral Friday: Banksia – 43
Banksias are among Australia’s most distinctive native plants, instantly recognisable by their striking flower spikes and unique woody seed pods, often called “banksia cones.” Floral Friday
Muong Hoa Valley Doors
Surrounded by mountains and rice terraces, I photographed these doors at the Muong Hoa Valley in Sapa, Vietnam. Most are just simple wooden doors. But there are some that are more well-crafted and beautifully done. Dan’s Thursday Doors Challenge
Tuesday Streetart: AC/DC Lane – 131
Saw these murals in AC:DC Lane in Melbourne CBD last weekend. These are some unmistakable art of John Murray (@mortmurray). who is a street artist from Lightning Ridge about 800kms inland from Byron Bay in Australia. And hey, do you see Elvis?
Windows snd Reflection
Windows don’t always reveal what’s inside. Sometimes they capture what’s outside, reflecting the ever-changing sky and the city around them. That’s what caught my eye in this towering skyscraper. Monday Window Challenge
Wooden Public Art in Sapa
Saw these wooden art around the Sapa area in Vietnam. For Natalie’s Photographing Public Art Challenge
Stools at Turtle Island

Doors on the Way to the Airport
BACKSTORY: Our last day in Dauin was so stressful. It was time to catch our domestic flight from Dumaguete to Manila, and after days of perfectly reliable transport…from coasters and four-wheel drives to tricycles…we finally experienced our first hiccup. Just before our scheduled pickup, we learned that our booked transfer from the Airbnb to the…
Bright Sky
This week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge is from Margaret of From Pyrenees to Pennines. She is asking us to post something that is “As Bright as Can Be”. These photos were taken under the intense midday sun, when daylight was at its brightest. I’ve also included two captured on New Year’s Eve, when the brilliant burst…
