Everything - by The Rusty Can

I was among the gawkers and photo takers surrounding this street artist outside the QVB. He had taken about 5 months replicating in pastel this grim piece, The Raft of the Medusa (1819) by Théodore Géricault. All this wet weather we’ve been having must have been annoying for him.

On reading up a little about the original painting, it brings to mind the recent disaster in Italy. Apparently, the wreck of the French naval frigate Méduse in 1816, on which the painting was based, was mostly blamed on an incompetent captain.

Ocean Room: Petit Tasty Photos

May 9th 2011 06:15

Time again to share some pretty pictures. This time from the lovely Ocean Room, which beautifully presents modern Japanese cuisine.

The quality of the food was impressive even on (or perhaps because of) my burger and fries palate. I savoured every last bit of it and this is coming from someone who, usually, isn’t a fan of raw fish

Telegraph poles: a haven for garage sale notices, photos of lost pooches, posters, ads, scams and rolls of sticky tape.

Pic of the Week: Rock Face

September 30th 2009 03:26

I didn’t notice this until I did the Jenolan Caves post. In all the times that I have been to Jenolan, I don’t know how I could’ve missed the stern face in the rock overlooking the Blue Lake and the road into the caves
