Auckland Sunrise
I went on a cruise to New Zealand in 2011 and the person I was sharing with was a very loud and constant snorer, although completely lacking any rhythm at all. As we docked into Auckland, I escaped to our balcony (thank goodness we had one) at about 4am with my iPod and my camera…

Fly By Night
On a recent flight home from Sydney, I captured a photo of some architecture which I called Curves and Edges. I almost always arrive home from a trip in the late evening, it’s almost always dark when I get to my car. And I’ve always enjoyed seeing the airport lit up at night. Never…

Splash (Eclectic #8)
Into the water? Or sit tight safe on the sand? Serious choices. Justine at Eclectic Odds and Sods, as I’m sure you know, hosts Eclectic Corner. This 8th edition is entitled “Splash of Colour” and asks us to submit a photograph depicting a splash of colour. I decided to also include a splash of water 🙂 Justine…

Desolation
Travel for work can be a lonely experience. The airport carpark late on a Friday night describes this feeling very well. I’m adding this photo to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. Please come and take a look at some fabulous photographs from some die-hard photographers. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5, with the 17mm lens (35mm…

Curves and Edges
I have walked through Brisbane Airport more than 100 times. On a return fight from Sydney recently, on a Friday night after 9pm, I noticed this structure on the rail station, which is one floor up from the main walkway between the terminal and the carpark. I’m sure I must have seen it before, but…

Sydneyside
I was in Sydney for work last week and one night, it was almost 7 before I got back from work, so did some googling and found a great spot to see the city, the bridge and even the Opera House. The light was fading and a storm was rolling in, so it was quite…

A Piece of Nepal in Brisbane
While out shooting for my March Changing Season’s post, I spent some time at the Nepalese Pagoda. This was the Kingdom of Nepal’s contribution to World Expo 88 which was held here in Brisbane. The Pagoda has become a permanent fixture within the lush rainforest walk at Southbank. According to visitbrisbane “it features 80 tonnes…

This is my second entry to Justine’s Eclectic Corner #7 event – Street Life. These photos today were taken while going to and from work while I was in Sydney this week. All taken with my iPhone6 and edited with the Photos app on the phone. And now it’s home…

Queensland Art Gallery – March 2015
In my first Changing Seasons post (January), I featured some photos of exhibits from the Queensland Art Gallery. I love this place, the exhibits are amazing. During my most recent Changing Seasons post (March), I spent some more time at my favourite exhibit, Zilvinas Kempinas’s Columns 2006, an installation of magnetic video tape. I’ve featured some…

Beautiful Brisbane – March 2015
We have a tourism catchphrase here in Queensland – Beautiful one day, perfect the next…. It is a beautiful city and I am very happy to showcase one small part of it for Cardinal’s Monthly Changing Seasons Challenge. The idea is to return to the same place each month and take photographs to show the…

Twilight Beach
During my recent 5 Photos 5 Stories challenge, I posted a photo entitled Despair, which was a black and white photo of my friend up on a rock. That same evening, I took a number of photos at the beach (Maroubra). It was almost 8pm and the light was almost gone, I quite like…

Time Well Spent
This is a slightly different post for me. I don’t usually share these types of photos but I wanted to show you what I’ve been up to lately. As most of you know, I’ve been away for two weeks. I spent the first week in Lorne (which I’ve mentioned previously) and the second in Melbourne. It was…
