  • Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile

    Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile

    I was a little overwhelmed by the Arc de Triomphe – I absolutely loved it. I think maybe because it was such a long drive up the Champs-Élysées to get to it – you can see it, getting bigger in your field of view, which for me was the windscreen of the bus – although…

  • Buildings with Glass

    Buildings with Glass

    A friend recently asked me if I had any photos of glass buildings that I could share with him and so I trolled through all of my photos from the last few years where I thought I might find some. I really like this collection and so I thought I’d share it with you. I’ve…

  • Curves Of Sydney

    Curves Of Sydney

    This prompt came out while I was in Sydney, so how could I resist the stunning and statuesque curves of the Sydney Harbour Bridge? It seems to appear out of nowhere when you’re driving through the city. You catch glimpses of it all the time. I’m always excited to drive over it, as usually I…

    iPhriday – Tones of Blue

    This is a different view of the VCCC – Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre. It’s taken from the hall outside my office, through the glass window. My office is the blue building in front. The VCCC is the tall building poking out from behind it. I’ve been struck by this view every day when I go…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – October 2015

    I feel like this might have been my last Changing Seasons (hosted by Cardinal Guzman) shoot for Brisbane. Maybe I can fit one more in? Not sure… I met up with an old friend and we went on a walk around Southbank with our cameras and our conversation, visiting all the usual spots as well as a…

  • iPhone Grids

    I scrolled through my phone this morning and found this little collection of photos that I think work for this week’s The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Grid. Oops I just realised that Chicago Tower was not taken with my iPhone. I think it was taken before iPhones were invented. With my old Canon…

  • Grid

    I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to use these photos. I took these at Southbank in Brisbane on one of my recent The Changing Seasons shoots. I was intrigued by the lines in this shot and then gave it a little extreme #imagereboot treatment in Lightroom. For this week’s The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge…

  • Beauty in the Mundane

    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…

  • Separation Binds

    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

    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…
