My son has excellent taste so,<br> of course,<br> she wins my nod of approval and was welcomed with open arms... \n\n---\n\n![Mj\u00f8lner - A Viking Themed Restaurant (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/vhbCpPi.jpg)\n\n[Mj\u00f8lner (Sydney) (https:\/\/mjolner.com.au\/sydney)\n[Mj\u00f8lner (Melbourne) (https:\/\/mjolner.com.au\/melbourne)\n\n---\n\n![Enjoying the local Mead and my weapon of choice (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/xjrvPWX.jpg)\n\n---\n\n![12 y.o. Whiskey,<br> poured from Thor's hammer (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/L0hJFU4.png)\n\n---\n\nAfter dinner,<br> I took a stroll through Hyde Park,<br> looking for some interesting night scenes to photograph.\n\nDespite the fact that this was once my teenage stomping ground,<br> I couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious when starting to take my camera out of the bag. While I was never in any danger,<br> I definitely felt my age and found myself,<br> very aware of voices wafting from 'the shadows' or from 'the other side of the hedges'... \n\nAlthough,<br> I still managed to have a little fun...\n\n---\n\n!['PUNK' IS NOT DEAD...! (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/FBzFzwx.png)\n\n---\n\nOne snippet that I did take-away from my mini photo-tour,<br> is to spend ~~some~~ 'a lot' more time learning how to use the manual settings on my camera and to experiment with shooting with different settings in dark,<br> night-time scenes. \n\nIn many photos,<br> the atmosphere was ruined by having the flash trigger when I didn't want it to or when I had envisioned the 'mood' without a flash... sometimes it produced a better result,<br> and sometimes NOT...\n\n---\n\n![One of the 'better' flash shots (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/SwJHxTY.png)\n\n---\n\nBeing born and bred in Sydney... it's a city that will always retain it's charm and beauty in my eyes. Part of that charm comes from abundance of older buildings scattered among modern design,<br> however the feeling of nostalgia is only enhanced by the features that have survived and are still displayed throughout the city and parks of Sydney.\n\n---\n\n\n![Drinking Fountain,<br> Hyde Park,<br> Sydney (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VuJGaTE.jpg)\n\n\n---\n\n![Older-style light fittings (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/c4XlftI.jpg)\n\n---\n\nAnyhoo,<br> it was a great weekend get-together,<br> enjoyed by all parties... and I was extremely grateful to,<br> not only spend time with my children but to also meet the lady who has put such a proud smile on my son's face.\n\nNeedless to say,<br> I returned home feeling VERY FULL,<br> VERY CONTENT and VERY HAPPY..! \n\n<center>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nThanks for stopping by and reading my post,<br> I really do appreciate your time.\n### And remember to keep smiling,<br> it makes people wonder what you're thinking...!\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VBf96Pj.png\n\nIf you enjoyed reading my post,<br> please follow,<br> comment and upvote.\nAll photos,<br> stories and graphics are my own work unless otherwise noted.\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nPCnREd.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProudly representing\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/WGuBGxi.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProud supporter of @steeming-hot\n\nhttps:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmdCimXD2sHmZFpicaiPQvLwHc8T9mbn1PmU5f9QgbsT4M\/steeming-hot-bot_small.png\n\n<\/center>\n",<br>"json_metadata":" \"app\":\"pruner\",<br>\"message\":\"See you on the other side!\" " |
