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…

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…

Senior Video Blogger
I took this photo for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab clinic. I was shooting the sunset over Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. It was pretty quiet, just a few people watching the sunset. Just as the light was fading, a busload of senior citizens arrived and they all came over to check out the sunset.…

Vivid Sydney
I posted recently some shots of sunset over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. After the sun had set, I left that location and decided to try another spot that my friend at work had suggested – Milson’s Point. On the way there, I drove past a stunning view so I pulled into a serendipitous carpark…

Sunset in Sydney
When I go to Sydney, I usually catch the last flight home. Mostly because it’s quite a cheap flight and saves the company some money and I also want to stick with my preferred airline. It works out nicely that Sydney city is on my way to the airport so I can stop off and…

Amsterdam – A Different View
You know me – I love black and white photography. I found Amsterdam skies to be so amazing and King’s Day was so orange (you’ll see exactly how orange in my final Amsterdam post next week!!), that I was very selective about what I showed in black and white. When I was going through the…

Enveloped in Mother’s Love (WPC)
I was wondering through the markets at Wala in the South Pacific, taking in the sights and sounds of the tiny island when I spotted this beautiful mother and baby. It was a very quick single snap and I’m so glad it turned out. To me, it’s such a heartwarming scene. She looks so happy…
