Roy G. Biv (WPC 1)
My timing seems to be quite bad. This week’s photo challenge (ROY G. BIV) is all the colours of the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) and last week I published a post of some Rainbow Roses, which would have fitted this theme perfectly. So, I pottered about at home this morning and came…

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…

Sometimes it’s the Journey (WPC)
To travel is to take a journey into yourself. – Danny Kaye. When I saw today’s prompt for the Weekly Photo Challenge (On The Way), where we are to present photos “of something you saw, did, or experienced on the way: photo not of your destination, but of an interesting thing along the way”, I…

Broken (WPC)
For the Weekly Photo Challenge : Broken. This is the Brisbane Wheel. The Unbroken photo was taken in January 2015 for my Changing Seasons post. The Broken photo was taken last week for my upcoming Changing Seasons post. Apparently it’s just being serviced, it’s not actually broken, but while I was there for…

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…

Forces of Nature (WPC)
With my frequent travels, I am often in the sky, taking photos out the window but these photos showing the power of storms were all taken with my iPhone, feet planted firmly on the ground. Some of these I’ve posted before. Awesome storm clouds in Lorne, Victoria. Massive storm cloud brewing above my back garden…

Intricate Design
I was originally thinking that the best intricacies would be in nature and that might be true, but I was able to find some wonderful man-made intricacies while visiting a temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It’s a beautiful place, but the juxtaposition between the rich and the poor is quite confronting. To visit this temple,…

Auckland Sunrise
I went on a cruise to New Zealand in 2011 and the person I was sharing with was a very loud and constant snorer, although completely lacking any rhythm at all. As we docked into Auckland, I escaped to our balcony (thank goodness we had one) at about 4am with my iPod and my camera…

Afloat, Above and Below
For the Weekly Photo Challenge – Afloat. I just had to include the shots from the plane, many of you know how I love to take photos from the airplane window – I have so many of them! The clouds seem to just float along as the plane floats past them, such a surreal experience…

Blur
For the week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, we are prompted with the word Blur. At Christmas, it was very hot here in Brisbane and Gidget was cooling herself in the air conditioning so I took thee two shots, where I’ve moved the focal point between two different spots to create a blurred background, and a blurred…
