How I love the weightless wondering of streets in a new place. How attractive is all the unknown and banality of life. It doesn't matter if the shops are quiet and some of it abondened. Just the power of being present in those moments, you want to bottle it up and take it back with you to your daily life. The one filled with rush, tasks and expectations. Yarrawonga has served its purpose for my trip in a strange way. It lightened me up and offered some relief. 

While crossing the bridge, reading the signs "Welcome to New South Wales" "Welcome to Victoria", you look at the water, it's the same water. You look at the bridge, man-made half there half there. Same people on each side of the border. İt's a small scale of how humans create borders and separate for whatever reason. I guess for this instance I'll look at it as connecting rather than separating.

Hanging onto each day of summer. Precious few days.

It is really hard when you see creative people like this whose every stage of life filled with exploration and productivity, to not look at your own purpose and question where you're sitting at on your journey.
NGV is filled with Kusama's work appealing for all ages of viewers. Loved heading there with the kids. NGV once was our routine destination.

Felekten bi gece çaldık. Sampanyayi ertesi gün patlattik çünkü dostlar, ortam ve manzara şampanyadan öte bir güzellikteydi.

Ömrüm hep güzel şeylerle dolu olsa da, bir tarafım hep endişe ve eksiklik. Anneyi özlemek, çocuklara endiselenmek, uykusuz geceler. Bilginin biri kontrol edemediğin şeyleri kontrol etmeye çalışmayi bırak demiş. Ben bunu hep kendime söylesem de, pratiği zor bişey. 2025'den istediğim; sevdiklerime, sevenlerime, tanidiklarima tanimadiklarima biraz huzur biraz rahat. Bana da kontrol edemediğim şeyleri kendi haline birakma azmi. Bazan depressif, bazan mutlu ama hayata minnettarlik. Annemin dediği gibi "cümle aleme huzur, içinde biraz da bana ve çocuklarima". Yeni yılınız kutlu olsun.

A divine country home hidden in the skirts of Mt Dandenong. Can tell it's a dream home for our friends and we got to taste it for a bit. A day around Mt Dandenong.

Around Dandenong Ranges yesterday, we all were grateful for nature and a beautiful day.

Nearing the end of another year. I just love this time of the year even with 40 degree days. All the rush of of life is up on the shelf for a little bit and that little bit is very precious. Had the perfect lunch with friends yesterday. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy break.
