Rainy weekends in the city

I wonder what their TV is showing.

Ice cream wagon instead of champagne after wedding ceremony.

How is this possible?

Čia kažkuri pasaulio pabaiga ateina arba nueina.

Creepy, isn’t it?

Market in our backyard.

These two pics had to be combined into one, but I’m so lazy tonight!

Ok. That’s it now.

So, the spring came and even though we live near a huge noisy street, late at night, when everything gets quiet birds start to sing. Some flowers smell only at night. When you go for a walk after dusk you might feel like walking in a bottle of eau de cologne.

Put on your 3D glasses 1

For these you’ll need oldschool 3D anaglyph glasses (red-cyan). Enjoy!

Searching for the Lyrebird

When autumn came to Melbourbe…

…everyone got onto their cars…

…and from the city (on the left) went to the hills (on the right). It was difficult to find where to stop in the little towns in the hills, as it were tourist everywhere.

We found some strange sculpture park.

Very strange. Next to the crucified ones there were koalas, kangaroos and other creatures. It was pretty horrible.

When it started to get dark, we accidentally stopped at one of the popular parks. Here they bring tourists to feed cockatoos, galahs and other birds.

Bird lovers really hate this kind places where they “spoil” birds.

But next t o this place, where lazy tourist don’t often go, there is a little track through the forest, called “Lyrebird walk”. Really promising name. Road signs around just confirm, that this name might not lie.

And here is the Lyrebird itself! 🙂

This bird is special because of it’s ability to mimic other sounds it hears. Anyway, we walked all the track and realized, that there is no other way back, just to go the same path again. So on our way back we stopped for second so that one girl could pass us and a few moments later we couldn’t even believe our eyes. Just a few meters further the Lyrebird itself is crossing the path!

Laurius went after the bird. The bird was totally ignorant and was doing his stuff – looking for food or something.

Other local stopped next by and told that he saw this bird for the first time just the day before. And it had chicks with him. Lucky bastard 🙂 We need to come back here, we decided, and went to the car. Just a few minutes later after we got into the car the storm started.

Watch this. Really amazing bird!

Surfing in S.A. Take 2

It happens so, that second in the row post is about catching the waves. But this time with the evidence.
We came too early, when all long boards were taken. We did a mistake and instead of sunbathing we were struggling with little boards, on which it’s even hard to get on, and waves just wash you off.
