Red shoes
Red shoes, a photo by Arnaldo Pellini on Flickr. Went for a bicycle ride around the lake of Canberra. On a pic-nic table nearby the shore saw this abandoned pair of red shoes. Seemed a setting of a movie or the beginning of a novel.
Swimming training in Dumaguete
Swimming training, a set on Flickr. Nice evening watching the swimmers of the Dumaguete Blue Dolphin Club training and practicing all the four style. I had my zoom lens but the light was a bit low. Did not want to push the ISO too high or use flash. I like how the pictures turned our. They seem abstract paintings to me.
Gingko biloba at the University House @ANU
Gingko biloba at University House, ANU Canberra, a set on Flickr. So this great Gingko tree in the rear garden at the ANU University House in Canberra. There was a nice evening light. Some elderly people, maybe former professors at ANU, were having a summer drink at a table nearby. Nicely dressed. Tall white wine glasses on an elegant table. Nice summer atmosphere.
Branches and the blue sky
Branches and blue sky, a set on Flickr. I had some time in Canberra on a Saturday morning. Decided to follow the advice of my colleagues and rented a bicycle to make the round of the artificial lake. It was sunny, blue sky. Dry heat, so different from the humid heat back home in the Philippines. Was a great two hours ride. Nice countryside. Saw this dried up tree on the shore of the lake. […]
Clouds and sky
Nuvole e cielo, a photo by Arnaldo Pellini on Flickr. Nuvole e cielo, we say in Italian: clouds and sky. Was at Canberra airport waiting for my flight to Melbourne. It was mid afternoon and like the narrow strip of land at the horizon compared to the huge blue sky dotted with travelling clouds which disappeared far away under the horizon. They seemed touching on a transparent glass surface. I tune up the blues when […]
Blue windows
Profile and windows, a photo by Arnaldo Pellini on Flickr. Walking downtown Canberra, near London Circuit. The building had a nice profile and contrast against the blue, cloudless sky.
Adelaide airport: Boarding
While waiting to board the flight to Melbourne I wandered around the transit area. I liked the morning light that was so good for black and white. Saw this man whom i imagined travelling all over the world, let’s say, 9 months a year. Business class traveller. Based in Hong Kong. Working in the financial sector. Looking forward to land in Melbourne for a week of meetings with bankers
Adelaide airport: Listen to me!
I saw this with the side of my eye, in a glimpse. I turned and took the picture which is quite shaky, I know. Has a strange feeling when doing this. Seemed to me that the man was telling the boy “Listen to me!’. Maybe they were both tired of the long flight throughout the night or maybe he was just showing the eboy that a text message had arrived from mum back home. All […]
Adelaide airport: Calling home II
An Asian young man walking around, talking with his smartphone back home while in transit in Adelaide. “Yes, mum, all ok here. We will be in transit for 50 minutes and then continue to Melbourne. The flight? Was fine, nice flight from Hong Kong. Nice weather and many many movies in the TV system.’
