Week ONE

I went for a stroll around campus during a break.. (like many others)
and noticed some REALLY EXCITING STUFF. .. .. ..... not rlly, but seriously,

The first thing I noticed about this ridiculousy boring plant, is the combination of the old/dead leaves with the fresh green leaves. This became a running thought and theme for the rest of my walk.. Once I initially noticed it in these plants I started to notice the pattern in most nature. Im not sure exactly why I find it so interesting.

The grass is greener on the other side.

Again, the contrast in old and new co-existing beside one another, as well as the strong contrast in colour. Grass, we walk on it everyday, at Curtin we walk past the same old shubbery and plants all the time, its just interesting to me that nature all around us is existing with the old- but of course we don't take notice of it..

Ok this is kinda cool.
Amongst all the beauty Curtin has to offer, the environment is slightly interrupted with this strong red THING! I love it. This fire hydrant offers variety a sort of power amidst its environment. It screams 'look at me'! But no-one really does. So what makes me look at it? Besides the obvious loud bright red coat of paint, its like it shot straight up out of the ground without being asked. The second one reminds me of some sweet SWAT TEAM agent dude hiding in bushes thinking no-one can see it.. what a doof..

Texture is the thing that captured my attention here.
You gotta love bark. If you closely, on each layer of bark is a new texture and shade of those earthy brown tones. The layers look like they've been ripped off in different areas, leaving it looking splodgy but still 'tree-ey' if I can call it that. Only tiny bits of the outermost layer is lift, with its more vertical rough texture, which is so visually nice too look at I suppose.

And finally, the giant random building.
Thats precisely what struck my attention however. I was just happily strolling back to the Architecture and Planning building when this big old thing stood in front of me. I just had to take a photo of it and comment. I love the shape of this building, its massive curve stands out so much. It sits in a sea of geometric, tall, same-coloured buildings, and makes a statement.
