📷 | Newcastle

The weather is good, the scenery is beautiful, the pace is slow, and everything remains unchanged💨 However, as long as you gather the energy to go out and explore, the scenery here will never disappoint. When sorting through the finished photos in the camera, I still feel my heart flutter—there's no substitute for this feeling🩵 I believe many people would choose Newcastle for a day trip by car around Sydney. There's a stunning coastline there, with picturesque views everywhere👏🏻 If I want to wander casually and just stay in one place, I would choose⬇️ 📍Newcastle Ocean Baths This is a great spot to daze and soak up the sun. In the late afternoon, the soft sunlight adds a hazy feel to the baths. The water shimmers with a pale golden glow, and the crowds seem to radiate calm like NPCs (non-player characters). For a moment, it's hard to tell reality from a dream. Before you know it, the sun sets. It truly lives up to being a real-life version of The Truman Show. Driving down from here, there's also the rock pool Bogey Hole and another popular area, Merewether—both worth checking out. 📷: Fujifilm XT4 with 16-55mm f2.8 lens 🩵: CC filter 𓂃𓊝𓄹𓄺𓂃𓂃𓅷𓏲 I'm ending the last day of 2024 with this set of stock photos. This year has been full of emotional ups and downs. I traveled less far and preferred to stay by my parents' side. As I get older, I feel less anticipation for the coming year and more peace. For 2025, I just hope time passes more slowly, and that my family, parents, friends, and myself all stay safe and smooth-sailing👏🏻 #MyPhotographyDiary #TravelWithACamera #SeasInMyCamera #CitiesInMovies #FujifilmPhotography #NewcastleDayTrip #Newcastle #SydneyDayTrip #SydneyLife #SydneyRoadTrip
