Story Bridge (structure)
For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Structure. Whenever I visit Brisbane, I try to photograph “my bridge”. This is Story Bridge, which I’ve written about before here and here. It’s such an amazing structure and it always makes me feel at home, whenever I see it. The black and white image above I…

The Twelve Apostles
My family visited me in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago and we took a few trips, doing the touristy things. One was a trip to The Twelve Apostles, which I have always loved. I went there last in 2004 and I went there when I was about 5 years old. This time, the weather…

The Great Ocean Road
I went to a conference in Lorne last week and I decided to drive down earlier on the Sunday and take some photographs on the edge of this beautiful country. It was a day that was waiting for the rain to fall and it eventually fell, but in the meantime I revelled in those cloudy…

New Year Eve Fireworks
Happy New Year! I can’t believe how long I’ve been away. I’ve had the busiest travel schedule since about September last year, with only 3 weeks where I stayed home in Melbourne for the entire week during those 4 months. Quite a struggle but it’s over now. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break…

Sydney’s Northern Beaches
I’ve just arrived back to Melbourne from Sydney. I was there all week for a sales and marketing meeting, but I went up on the Saturday and spent a wonderful evening with good friends. On Sunday, I spent the day with another good friend, we had lunch and took a drive through the northern beaches.…

Harmony
For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Harmony. “The combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords having a pleasing effect; the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole.” From a work trip to Heron Island in Central Queensland – no phone, no internet, no locks on doors.

Plant in the Park
I finally decided to take my camera with me to the park tonight and pottered around in amongst the trees and took some shots of this lovely plant. As usual I used my Olympus OMD EM5. I went out only with my 45mm (f/1.8, 90mm equivalent) lens with me. It’s not an everyday lens, but…

Mid-Summer Portrait 1
These portraits were taken at the Midsummer Faerie Rade in Melbourne in 2016 (a couple of weekends ago). Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 45mm portrait lens (90mm equivalent). Here’s another shot in colour, so you can better view her intricate makeup: Most people at the Rade were dressed in costume and were…

Melbourne Street Art 1
I am settling in to my new city and what an intriguing and colourful city it is. I’ve been here many times before as a visitor, but it’s even more amazing as a resident. Recently, Michelle from This Melbourne Life presented “3 of the best … Laneways in Melbourne“, filling in for me as…

Sarina Beach
This post was written before New Year’s Eve and I somehow neglected to post it… Finally it’s raining and the weather is much cooler, it’s beautiful. The only sacrifice is the loss of blue skies, but I love a good dark cloud, so I’m ok with it. We took a drive while my brother was…
