Another wet day

"If you go down to the woods today"

"You'd better not go alone. It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home."  ....... (Jimmy Kennedy 1932)

Trash

I just don't understand why people feel the need to do this.....

Tunnel Vision

crossing under the Harbour bridge from The Rocks

Earth Hour

Spent the last hour with mostly candle power... making a stand against climate change

Golden Bunnies

Always something interesting happening at Martin Place during the lunch break.
today it was Golden Bunnies, the Lindt's shop was giving away chocolates....

The little one didn't last very long,,,,

Tears

"Daddy I want to go this way..."

The Strand

The Strand building in Sydney ...

Luna Park

Anybody else find the entrance to Luna Park just a little creepy?

Watercolors

Went for a walk early this morning with my beloved, she's gotten this idea that we need to to start excercising a bit more , something to do with our cloths getting tight around the waist...  I brought some extra weights (uh,,,camera) you know... resistance training and all that ....
 
Found this lovely Eucalyptus tree along the path..... hmmmm maybe something to be said about this early morning excercise after all :)

Talk to the hand....

This is my beautiful teenage daughter , who loves to have her picture taken (as I'm sure you can tell).

Dinosours in my backyard

Went for a walk in the park today and met this fine fellow (about 30 cm), anybody know what it is?
Look at those claws, wouldn't want to meet his bigger relatives....

down by the river side

Saturdays are meant for sleeping in! except if you have kids , then there is sports and all sorts of activities you need to drive them to.... can't complain though, especially when the location is as pretty as this.

Twilight zone revisited

Somebody moved he planets on me. Shot this same alley way some months ago, they had planets floating between the buildings.

It was a bit eerie as you walk down the alleyway as there is a recording of birds playing and you look up and see all the empty bird cages...

(Angel place in Sydney)

of portraits and portrait lenses

Got to try a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G  (the older version) , that is a very nice piece of glass. I can understand why a lot of Pros use it in portraiture....

Whats your favorite lens for shooting portraits?

Side Street

finding all sorts of interesting alley ways and side streets on my lunch time walks in Sydney
