Wilsons Park
There’s this nice little spot out in the far eastern suburbs of Melbourne — Berwick. It’s a public park made for wholesome family outings, which normally isn’t really my thing. Still, I ended up going there — twice actually —…

Dimmicks beach
So I headed back out to the ocean again to shoot the sunset. Why? I’ll answer with an old joke: Someone asks a rabbi:“Rebbe, why do Jews do circumcision?” The rabbi says:“Well, first of all… it is beautiful.” И вот…
