This week is a free week for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness Challenge. And because I was inspired by her post, as a fellow Melburnian, I am also posting my shots of the amazing landscape from the Great Ocean Road. It includes the Twelve Apostles … which frankly is not 12 anymore. My images are not as…

Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko
This is a Tagalog song by Rey Valera, an Original Pilipino Music (OPM). It’s a very sweet song about growing old together and reminiscing the memories of yesterday. And it is my entry to Elke’s Monochrome Challenge– Getting On in Years. Pagdating ng arawAng ‘yong buhok ay puputi na rinSabay tayong mangangarapNg nakaraan natin Ang…
Burano in Monochrome
There’s no set theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge, so I’ve decided to feature monochrome shots from my travels. This is Burano, a colourful island town in the Venetian Lagoon, just north of Venice, renowned for its brightly painted houses and peaceful canals. Yet, when captured in monochrome, its familiar vibrancy quietly fades. In…
Seeing Numbers
As I searched through my photo gallery, I realised that numbers are part of every journey I take. They point me in the right direction, mark old buildings, identify homes, reassure me that I’m catching the right tram, and quietly tell the story of a place. They’re such an ordinary part of travel that I…
Rome in Monochrome
There’s no set theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge, so I’ve decided to feature monochrome shots from my travels. This is Rome… Upon entering its doors, you could already feel its rich history, calm atmosphere, and deep sense of faith. The Vatican is located inside Rome’s city boundaries and is an independent city-state. It…
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…
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…
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…
Assissi in Monochrome
There’s no set theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge, so I’ve decided to feature monochrome shots from my travels. This is Assisi, Italy, where every corner seems to whisper centuries of faith and tradition. It is in the quiet alleyways, It is in its stone walls, In its architecture, and very evident in the…
A Jug in Monochrome
This terracotta jug in monochrome caught my eye at Cloudehill Gardens. Simple, rustic, and full of character sitting beautifully among the garden surroundings. For Brian’s Monochrome Madness
Flowing Water
This week’s theme for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness Challenge is Flowing Water.
Pisa in Monochrome
There’s no set theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge, so I’ve decided to feature monochrome shots from my travels. Close up shots of the intricate design found in the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles) in Pisa, Italy.
