Coffee and people watching. ☕

Lake Boga, Victoria. 📷
A sweeping aerial view of Lake Boga, Victoria, where a broad expanse of water curves gently along a well-defined shoreline. The lake’s surface glistens with subtle ripples, bordered by a mix of green fields, scattered trees, and rural infrastructure. A road traces the lake’s edge, linking several buildings—possibly homes or recreational facilities—that nestle into the landscape. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the terrain transitions into patchwork farmland, stretching toward the horizon under a soft, cloud-dappled sky. A wide aerial view of Lake Boga in Victoria, showcasing its expansive, rippling surface under a mostly clear sky. The water shimmers in varied shades of green and blue, subtly textured by wind and shadow. In the distance, a flat rural landscape stretches to the horizon—fields interspersed with clusters of trees hint at agricultural use and natural preservation. Wisps of cloud drift overhead, adding depth to the serene sky. The composition captures the lake’s vastness and the quiet harmony between water, land, and sky, evoking a sense of openness and calm. AN aerial view of a wooden pier stretching into the green-hued waters of Lake Boga, Victoria. The pier is flanked by railings and supported by evenly spaced posts, casting faint shadows beneath. On the shoreline, a manicured grassy area meets a concrete retaining wall, with leafy trees providing shade and texture. A rectangular swimming pool sits nearby, hinting at a recreational space nestled within the lakeside landscape. Two towering cylindrical silos transformed into vibrant canvases of public art. The left silo features a serene sunset over water, with a pelican soaring above two figures standing on a dock—bathed in warm hues of orange, pink, and violet. The right silo celebrates aviation history, depicting a vintage military aircraft in flight, a speedboat slicing through the lake, sailboats drifting peacefully, and a portrait of a pilot in classic aviator gear.

Yesterday I took part in the Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb. I managed to drag myself up the stairs in 6m 56s, shaving 25 seconds off last year’s time.

Proud to have raised $1,125 this year—part of an incredible $1.1 million total supporting mental health, cancer research, and crisis support.
A firefighter in full gear stands indoors, smiling and giving a thumbs-up. The gear includes a tan structural firefighting suit with reflective yellow and silver stripes, and an oxygen tank strapped to the back. The firefighter holds a helmet in the left hand. Behind them, other firefighters in similar gear are visible, some partially obscured. Two firefighters in full protective gear—including helmets, suits, and breathing apparatuses—are inside a concrete stairwell. One firefighter climbs the stairs ahead, while the other faces the camera, extending a hand forward in a signaling or communicative gesture. The stairwell features metal railings and red piping along the wall, suggesting an industrial or high-rise setting.

Vale Ozzy.
The image displays the album cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Black Sabbath, rendered in vivid, surreal artwork. Dominating the scene is a bed surrounded by distorted, ghostly figures in anguished poses, bathed in eerie red and orange tones. Above the bed floats the album title in ornate, medieval-style lettering: “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.” Below, in simpler white font, “Black Sabbath” marks the artist’s name. Overlaid at the bottom is Spotify's interface, currently playing the song “Sabbra Cadabra (2009 Remaster)” at 0:11 of its 5:55 runtime. Visible controls include shuffle, skip, play/pause, and repeat buttons.
