Chinatown Markets

Shopping Togetherness

the instinct of the
hunter-gatherer comes out
in the marketplace

Shopping Epiphany (haiku)

the marketplace light
was almost Biblical in
the late afternoon

Captivated by Shiny Things

Jewellery shoppers
in the Chinatown night-markets,
Dixon street, Sydney.

Extraordinary Drummer

This amazing young percussionist was playing in Pitt Street Mall on Sunday afternoon. His skill and stamina are remarkable! His instruments are two drum-sticks, a collection of white plastic buckets and the paved ground on which he was seated. Bravo! - applause for this passionate and creative soul!

Here's a YouTube link - the first one is a video I took today:

City Sunroof (haiku)

Gazing upwards through
the sun-roof driving towards
The Rocks in Sydney.

Crossing Anzac Bridge at Sunrise (haiku)

north as the sun rose above
a lightening sky

Poetry is Ours (haiku)

Patching together
fragments of signs creates whole
worlds of new meaning...

British Medical Association

Walking down Macquarie St Sydney, on the way to see the Jitterbug Photo Exhibition at the State Library, we looked upwards at the Architecture - gargoyles and all - of the British Medical Association building.

Objet d' Koala

The wet weekend and Cabin Fever made it imperative to get out and about yesterday - rain or no rain! Umbrellas up, cameras in hand, walking fast down the footpath in Balmain, we almost stepped on this little Koala badge - a found Objet d'Art.

Rainy Day Windscreen (haiku)

Sitting in the car
waiting for the rain to ease
watching the raindrops

distort the railings
of a fence across the street
from a warm cafe

Believe in Your Dreams...

Graffiti on a wall along the cycle-path from Annandale to Rozelle Bay.

Drop Beats Not Bombs...
