Last few pictures from Hobart, Tasmania.
All pictures were taken with my trusty Fujifilm Natura Classica (Natura 1600 film).

What a memorable 25th. Definitely a highlight of 2012.
I am a lucky girl :)

More photos from Hobart trip in September 2012 (finally posting up the last batch).
In addition to Salamanca markets, there are a few Farmers' markets around the city held on Sundays. We read about this particular one in a travel brochure from our hotel and decided to check it out. For anyone visiting Hobart, a treck to the local markets for Tassie's fresh produce is highly recommended!

A Melbourne New Years 2013

For the second time in 2012, we decided to visit Melbourne again during the Xmas/NY break.
We visited our favourite cafes and alleways but also discovered quirky shops and extravagant bookshops which we loved. During our stay, we explored other tourist spots around Melbourne we didn't get to visit last time such as Docklands, Chapel St and Brighton Beach.

Fireworks in Melbourne aren't quite as impressive as Sydney's but sitting along Yarra River to welcome 2013 with the special someone was memorable nonetheless :)

Salamanca Markets - Hobart, Tasmania Part 2

2012-11-21T20:21:00.004+11:00

It's all hip and happening in Hobart - it's listed as one of the Top 10 cities by Lonely Planet.
On our first day in Hobart, we went to Salamanca Markets, one of the largest markets in the Southern Hemisphere. As the article puts it:

Perhaps Hobart's most famous attraction is the Salamanca Markets, held every Saturday rain or shine since 1973. From Hmong migrants selling fresh vegetables to family fudge producers handing out samples of their wares, the outdoor market offers a real taste of Tasmania with a backdrop of historic sandstone warehouses dating back to the 1830s. The markets are at their best in spring and summer when local artisan producers come to town to sell everything from fresh fruit to handicrafts.

What we enjoyed most about Salamanca Market were the food and produce stalls as it offered the chance to try out Tassie's local produce - tempura mushrooms, anyone? We must have tried at least five different stalls but justified ourselves since you don't get markets like these back in Sydney.

Okay, fine, that and we just like to eat a lot :)

Lately on instagram

Photos from Hobart to be uploaded soon.
I think a change in this blog is needed. I keep telling myself to post more consistently. Perhaps a new layout and header photo will stir some motivation and inspiration. Shall think of a few ideas.

A maxim

2012-09-14T11:51:00.004+10:00

Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny

At peace

Finally developed the roll of film that was in my Natura Classica for, no joke, 6 months ago. The earliest photo was from February and now it's the first day of September. Many reasons for it, but I won't go into it.
It's officially Spring. Can't have a more perfect timing to get back into it. I've missed it.

I used instagram solely for the filter effects to make my iPhone photos more interesting. That was it. I didn't even know people were able to follow, like and search each other! It wasn't until a friend told me about the community aspect of it a few days ago, I've been hooked ever since!
What impressed me the most is the calibre of the photos that some people share on this app. It's a visual feast! In fact, I think I spend more time looking through these wonderful images than actually taking photos myself, but as I look through the photos it inspires me to take photos - goes full circle!

So yes, perhaps I am a bit slow hopping on the bandwagon, do join, my username is found_pieces!
