Days in the life of Snowy (aka Snowy World Tour)
-
Thanks gents. Managed a few shots last weekend, but have been pretty fecked over by work this week so no posting. Am heading out to shoot hopefully both days this weekend. @Aetas Under 2 months until I head to JP now. Thanks for remembering, do you think I'm ready for the crazy of Tokyo?

Boy that tree is sure happy to see you…
Loving these Snowy I hope you keep them coming (not the tree).

Yesterday's outing was timed around lunch. Mexican food sucks in Sydney, generally. I'd intended to go to an okay taqueria that jumped onto the food truck craze, but still had a bricks and mortar store according to their website. Turns out they are no longer doing retail at the address listed on their website. Fortunately there is a few other Mexican places near by. Swung into one of them, and had the worst mexican of my life. Literally felt sick after eating it. Not even the rice or beans were well done. Talk about a first world rant, but yeah, there it is.
ANYHOW, I got past the rage of the shittiest food I'd had, and looked at it as energy to enable me to continue the other reason I'd headed out; to take photos..
(and for anyone wondering about the sequencing of the photos, I upload them here in the order they were taken in)

Some great shots in there Snowy, looked like a cracker day weather wise.
-
Thanks @Hereforthebeer. Spring in Sydney is a great time to be alive
-
Lots of well fitting, cool looking denim seems to be worn by Sydney dudes in the spring…
-
Snowy, that does sound a lot less promising than what I meant to have observed.
I am not that averse to pre-washed denim, if it's done well (think of one-wash models or some cool heavy used washes from the right brands) but every second a G-Star, that's pretty dismal. Looked a lot better from the distance, then!
So we stay the comparatively small elite who like their jeans raw!
And thanks for keeping your much appreciated photos coming, always a joy to look at. -
Today we ventured outside the big smoke, on a day trip to an area of NSW/Greater Sydney neither of us has visited. Managed to get beyond cell coverage (a blessing considering my phone had been ringing about work since 8am on a Saturday), as well as driving around on loose sand; always a nervous experience when I don't drive a 4WD.
Ended up in an area where over the 3 or so hours we were there we saw 5 cars drive by in total; idyllic for an afternoon away.

Those woods are (that bush is) reminiscent of those in the Southeastern US.
-
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.
