“Palun ära täna tööle tule – ükski klient ei tule nii märja ja tuulise ilmaga välja sööma,” sai Tiiu kõne peenest veeäärsest restoranist, millega samas hoones elab ka Russell Crowe. Eriti pikaks veninud vananaiste suvi on läbi. Vihma kallab aeg-ajalt lausa horisontaalselt ja päeva maksimumtemperatuur küündib 15 kraadini. Continued…

“Hey Honey, would you like some action?” followed by a wink is my first memory of Kings Cross – The Golden Mile as it’s also known. Well it’s not quite a mile and it’s golden probably only for crooks.
Kings Cross is a fascinating place to visit, don’t get me wrong, it’s absolutely messed up, but it has the most varied mix of people I have every seen in one place. So colorful that anywhere else but KingsX my autopilot* – once kicked in – would take my straight home, in there it takes me out of the club and startled by the kish-kash going on feels that it’s time wake up the devil again and have some more fun.

Walking thru a park bang-smack in the middle of Sydney last night at 7pm I saw two girls dressed to the max. Heels so high it hurts to look at them and dresses so short that barely anything is left for imagination. They turned off the paved walkway on to the grass and then in to the bushes. Well not really into them, between the bushes still very visible to everyone one of the girls lifts up her black dress and a fraction of a second later slides down her knickers as well truly bareing even the little that had been left for imagination a minute before. She starts yelling “Sorry-Sorry-Sorry, don’t look, don’t look”. I turn my head and continue walking shaking my head lightly. I’ve seen this happen before here, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it happen so early, even before the party has started. But I guess, if you got to go, you got to go. Continued…

In Coffs Harbour, between the ocean and the street where we parked our car, there was this grass python sleeping.

Few weeks back I got my new Canon S90 digital compact camera. I was looking for a new camera to suit my needs and aspirations for a long time and was very excited when Canon announced the S90 IS in August. And when I finally got it, I was surprised at how much flexibility the camera has. What I really-really love about this camera is the f2 lens, fully manual controls, the ability to set flash exposure compensation, shutter speeds from 1/1600 to 15″, ability to set self-timer to any value between 1 and 30 seconds and to take up to 10 consecutive photos at a time. And it’s small. I believe that in this form factor it is truly the best camera in the world am really happy to own one, I take it with me pretty much everywhere and have captured some great shots, despite my lack of photographic training or extensive experience. It has an automatic mode for low-light photos, and it does an awesome job in capturing really dark scenes, but the lack of manual control over the ISO and other settings in this mode means that you will get a fair bit of noise in your pictures due to the ridiculously high ISO settings (up to 12800).
After the jump a few pictures with stories to them. Continued…
