Forces of Nature (WPC)
With my frequent travels, I am often in the sky, taking photos out the window but these photos showing the power of storms were all taken with my iPhone, feet planted firmly on the ground. Some of these I’ve posted before. Awesome storm clouds in Lorne, Victoria. Massive storm cloud brewing above my back garden…

Beauty in the Mundane
I was filling my car with fuel the other day, when I looked up and was struck by the shape of the carpark structure of the shopping centre next door. As a regular at Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic, I of course had my camera with me. I took these shots with my Olympus OMD EM5…

Momentarily Technical
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. – Omar Khayyam, Persian mathematician, astronomer, poet and philosopher. And very clever man. For Justine’s Eclectic Corner #11: Momentarily. For Perelin Colours and Lucile’s Tech of the Month: Get out when the light is right. Sunsets happen every day. But they are always different.…

Amsterdam People (B&W)
I think I’ve already mentioned that I took a lot of photos during my 50 hours with the lovely Lucile in Amsterdam, so I wanted to share the photos gradually with you. Today, I’m sharing my black and white images of the people of Amsterdam. Some of these were taken during a walk through the…

Flowers of Amsterdam
Here’s my second post on my whirlwind trip to Amsterdam. You can see my first post here. Today, I want to show you the flowers. We found these in big planters outside the Eye Film Institute. Some of them seem like they’re made of tissue paper. Also, there’s a special little surprise in the mix… …

Separation Binds
The panels of glass in this very large window are separated by thick metal strips. The thick metal strips bind the glass panels together to form a very large window. This could be a post about construction. It could be about architecture. It could be about seeing the world as glass half full or…

Lucile’s Red Bridge
Yesterday, I posted Blogger Babes in London – a wonderful meet up between Justine from Eclectic Odds n Sods, Lucile from Bridging Lacunas and myself. It was such a wonderful day with truly remarkable people! When I left Justine’s, I travelled to Amsterdam and was met by the lovely Lucile and her husband and I…

Spectacular Skies
The joys of jet lag. I crashed into bed at 9:30 last night and am wide awake this morning at 3:30am! Hopefully this is the last of it!! Usually, my photos of the sky are taken from within an airplane, but I couldn’t resist these shots from the ground recently here in Brisbane. Taken with…

Blogger Babes in London
I am so blessed to have met such lovely people here in the WordPress world. As many of you know, I recently went to Cambridge (UK) for a work trip. It was an intensive trip with long work days immediately followed by evening social events. It was a fantastic week actually. Work finished up…

Intricate Design
I was originally thinking that the best intricacies would be in nature and that might be true, but I was able to find some wonderful man-made intricacies while visiting a temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It’s a beautiful place, but the juxtaposition between the rich and the poor is quite confronting. To visit this temple,…

The Long Haul
Just a quick post to say that I’m still alive. I was travelling for the last two weeks – I went to Cambridge (UK) for work for a little over a week, then London on the weekend and Amsterdam for a couple of days. London and Amsterdam were short holidays and I had a…
