I post processed the hell out of these pics just to get a crazy kind of colour out of them. Most of them were taken this morning on a bit of a miserably grey day that I specifically got up early to take pictures of because I thought it was going to be a fantastic sunrise 
This is the best example I’ve seen of the differences between umbrellas.

Explanation: Have you ever seen the Milky Way’s glow create shadows? To do so, conditions need to be just right. First and foremost, the sky must be relatively clear of clouds so that the long band of the Milky Way’s central disk can be seen. The surroundings must be very near to completely dark, with no bright artificial lights visible anywhere. Next, the Moon cannot be anywhere above the horizon, or its glow will dominate the landscape. Last, the shadows can best be caught on long camera exposures. In the above image taken in Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia, seven 15-second images of the ground and de-rotated sky were digitally added to bring up the needed light and detail. In the foreground lies Loch Ard Gorge, named after a ship that tragically ran aground in 1878. The two rocks pictured are the remnants of a collapsed arch and are named Tom and Eva after the only two people who survived that Loch Ard ship wreck. A close inspection of the water just before the rocks will show reflections and shadows in light thrown by our Milky Way galaxy. Low clouds are visible moving through the serene scene in this movie.
“So Josh, are we on for the hot towel shave that we have been talking about for ages and decided to go to today at 11:00″
Josh: Hungover voice making no sense. Some shouting and swearing at a cat he doesn’t have. Hang-up….
Txt msg saying we are booked in at 2 
This is something we have been planning for ages and decided to jump in and do it. The place is a little barber shop on Darlinghurst called Grand Royal Barbers who have to be a real barber shop because
1) There were actually guys magazines on the table and not the 1878 copy of Farmers weekly
2) Very few girly magazines
3) Actual candy cane stripes outside the window.
4) They laughed at us when we arrived wearing suits, ties and braces
Now even though everyone had made some unhelpful reference to the Sweeny Todd movie, we only bled a little, and well, we are men so anything we do has to involve blood in some way, the whole thing was a fantastic experience. Its nice to be pampered and come away feeling masculine and a little bloody. Anyway, good call Josh.
After a leisurely ride through Centennial park, I decided to have a nap by the pond only to be woken up by 2 ducks having a domestic by my head. I took a few pictures of my new (old) bicycle and threw a few filters on to liven them up. I like the handle bar ones and how different the mood is because of the colours.

Hardly any clouds in the sky and the weather is warming. It feels like summer is finally on it’s way.
Newtown markets are a great place to make an unexpected find. In amongst all the trash and useless 2nd hand junk are the occasional gem. I managed to convince a girl with a heart tattoo to let me take her picture and then I ran away with my new treasure safely on the memory card of my camera.
