  • Spiritual Halves

      Ok, thank you for indulging my apparent fascination with the Weekly Photo Challenge (Half and Half) this week. I enjoy angles and lines and usually try to show these to their extreme where possible. This photo was taken in Chiang Mai in Thailand. So much gold everywhere you look, but outside almost poverty all…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – July 2015

    Here is my post for Cardinal Guzman’s Changing Seasons event. This is a very cool event where we are tasked with going back to the same location each month and taking photographs there to see the changes that occur from season to season. I have only done this every second month, I have to admit! I’ve…

  • Split on the Diagonal

    I couldn’t resist another photo for this prompt (actually I might have a couple more up my sleeve). This photo was taken at Coronet Peak in Queenstown, New Zealand. My eye was caught by the lines created with on the diagonal here. And the white snow, blue sky, white clouds were just glorious. For The…

  • Split in Two

    This photo was taken at Shorncliffe Pier, north of Brisbane. Such a clear afternoon, not a cloud in the sky. For The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half. Here is the prompt: This week, share an image that has two clear halves, literally or figuratively. You could focus on composition, like me, and take…

  • Cover Makeover #3

  • Loyalty (Eclectic Corner #13.3)

    For Justine’s Eclectic Corner: Loyalty (Quote). I am such a fan of this quote. The people who are loyal to you and who matter most to you, will be supportive of what you say and do. Those who aren’t, you shouldn’t worry about them. Most recently,this quote can be found in Jessie J’s lyrics to…

  • Monochromatic Dramatic

    For Tech of the Month: Black and White, hosted by PerelinColors and Lucile’s PhotoRehab Clinic. This month, they ask us what we thinks make a great black and white image, and what we look for when shooting in black and white. I’ve posted a lot of black and white recently – it really is my…

  • Zombie Train to Paris

    The smell hit him first. That sweet and sour smell of death. And flesh. It was unusual for a city train to smell like this. He could feel the hairs standing up on the back of his neck. He sighed and made a tent with his shirt over his nose and breathed in his own…
