Went to the new Capital Brewing Lager House in the new East Trading Hall (which I think used to be Anzac Park East). I had the steak frites, which was pretty good with a nice smokey flavour and tarragon butter. The only slight let-down was the packet gravy (which just tastes of salt, MSG, corn starch and Parisian brown) - but the steak's good with the butter and you can drown your chips in the gravy. Their house lager's pretty acceptable too. The building is still a little incomplete, but it's looking OK so far.

Enjoyed the Hallyu - The Korean Wave exhibition at the National Museum this morning. A history lesson and a 90s explosion of pop culture with music, film and fashion artefacts on display.

Then, it was off to the Australian Scrabble championships to see how serious Scrabblers get their Scrabble on.

@ghost_shit @mike the Canberra Comedy Festival goes for about 10 days in March. I make a point of going to the gala plus seeing two different shows during each festival. It can get expensive, depending on the artists, but I do like to support the event. I also see a fair bit of live comedy throughout the year.

Drastic and courageous, it doesn’t end with the police confiscating posters in an Australian bar. Jack and Mark Blam from London aren’t afraid to take risks.

Ouroboros II.

Some say we are made of stardust.
Others say the stars are made of us.

I have photographed the ouroboros before (for all that information see here: Ouroboros), but here is a more recent detail shot that turned out quite nice methinks.

Treasury fountain.

Is this thing even turned on?

Treasury fountain.

I have ridden past this fountain many times, but today was the first time in a long time I have seen all the water spouts in action. This necessitated an immediate side quest to take some photos.

The fountain was designed by the Melbourne sculptor Norma Redpath and cast in Milan in 1965. It is described as a two piece bronze abstract sculpture and fountain.

Personally I think it is one of the better looking fountains in Canberra. Perhaps deserving of a place a little less depressing than the National Treasury Building.

Anyways, all was going swimmingly well until I (somewhat stupidly…is my brain even turned on?) pointed my camera into the building to try and get a shot of the fountain reflected in the windows.

Security was on me in a swift jiffy.
Maybe I look a little sus; I don’t know.
My penance, a short lecture on the perils of photographing through the windows of government buildings…especially the Treasury.

The picture below gives a nice composition of the two halves of the sculpture. What you can’t see is an angry security dude standing right on the other side of that reflection!
