Perth, March '11: Recap Of One Smelly Taxi Ride

The taxi driver that took us into Perth City had terrible BO. And no functioning air-conditioning in his cab. In the Summer. Urgh, of all the rotten luck. -_-'''


But while I grumbled inwardly at the situation, I was also secretly pleased that I could have the windows in the cab down to let loose and go crazy with the camera throughout the journey. =p


Here are some shots I like that also happen to somewhat display the supreme Summer heat I was made to endure. Enjoy going through them in the comfort of your air-conditioned rooms, friends! And be thankful you're not where I was. =)

Window stickers from inside the cab. (Apparently more
picturesque than the barren landscape beyond. -_-''')

More greenery as we move closer to the city.

Hot, hot sun!

Clear, blue skies.

Causeway.

Random lady jogging along the Causeway.

Whoops! Lady caught on camera. Haha. I swear I didn't see her coming. She ran right into my frame all by herself. Serious! And while I admire her drive, I disapprove of her timing. Exercising at the peak of the afternoon Summer heat? Really?? That can't be at all good for the skin or the body! Tsk tsk.

Riverside Drive.

And, after what felt like a million years into forever, we finally arrived at our destination. Thoroughly baked and half roasted from our air-con-less Summer cab ride, of course, no thanks to the cabbie's slow-as-snail driving. >( The left side of my face, my left arm and both my thighs were already panggang-ed to perfection by the time I stepped out of the cab and onto the curb. Sufferrrr... -_-'''

Ok, that's it.

Am done with the cab ride.

More pictures some other time. =)

Oh, and by the way, just so you know, I'm really pleased with how the GF2 has been performing thus far. Usually my posts are delayed cos publishing requires that I find time to PS my pix to perfection. But with the GF2, it's zero or minimal Photoshopping needed! I love that! =D
