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…

Who Am I ??
I found some very cool plants on my recent travels. My header image is shown in colour in the gallery below – it’s a very cool dark dark purple colour. It’s an amazing succulent, but I couldn’t find anyone to tell me what it is. The header image, I was trying some new editing. I converted…

Despair
As the day draws to a close and the light begins to disappear, he climbs his rock and waits just near the edge. He shakes his head. What is he waiting for? His love has gone. Not coming back. No chance. But he can’t stop. This is their spot. This is where they found each…

Lost in Abandon
They left their bikes tied to a signpost and ran down the hill, hands clasped, giggling. After three years of waiting, they wanted nothing more than to lose themselves in each other. As they approached the water, he let go of her hand so that he could pull off his shirt. He turned to her,…

The Prison of Her Heart
And she takes another step. A step towards the gap. The gap in the wall. The wall of her prison. The prison of her heart.

Toytown
For this week’s photo challenge, Scale, I immediately thought of my photo taken from King’s Park in Perth, of the construction of the new conference centre. It is now complete, but I love the effect created here using th “Diorama” art filter on my Olympus OMD EM5. This mimics the effect you would see…
