Monochrome Madness #9 – Stone
It’s my turn this week. I have chosen STONE for our challenge. When Dawn did Rocks I kept trying to pick images that I realised were stone and not rocks. I am sure it is […]
Exploring the small seaside town of Penguin on the way to somewhere else
On the first day we were in Tasmania we had to travel from Devonport to Stanley. It wasn’t a long drive, but we knew that we wouldn’t be able to get into our accommodation until […]
Lens-Artists Challenge #301 – Floral
So, this is a great challenge. I love challenges that plays to my strengths as I love flowers and I love to photograph them. The Lens-Artist Challenge for this week has been set for us […]
Trains that no longer are in use – abandoned perhaps
I thought I would take a short break from my Tasmanian photos and share some other photos from a trip out I had a couple of days ago. I do have an confession, I’m kind […]
Floral Friday – Summer past has finished
Today I thought we might just look back on some photos taken during the summer when there were lots of flowers in my garden. We are definitely heading into winter now and the garden is […]
Sunrise at the Nut in Stanley
Quick post today. I’m getting ready for a presentation and I’ve run out of time. So to make sure I post I have prepared this image. It was taken at the nut and was at […]
Monochrome Madness – Around the Nut at Stanley
This week is a free week where you can post whatever you like. I decided to convert some photos from Tasmania to show you. These were taken at Stanley on the second day we were […]
Some of the birds seen on the Tamar River Cruise
On one of our last days in Tasmania we took a cruise on the Tamar River. There were so many birds to see. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great, but I did what I could. I’m […]
Lens Artists Challenge #300 – Delicate
I thought this challenge was a good one to get back into the Lens-Artists Challenge and this week it is delicate. Ann Christine has chosen the challenge for us this time and you can find […]
What happened to the infrared images I was going to take in Tasmania?
Good question. I know I told you that I was going to take my infrared camera with me to Tasmania, but I had some problems the day before I left. First of all, I couldn’t […]
Fagus trees that surround Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain
One of the things that was a complete surprise when we went to Cradle Mountain were all the Fagus trees that were changing colours. I think I just expected that when we went there it […]
Lighthouses on the coast of Tasmania
One thing about going along the coast of Tasmania, or any coast really, is that you get to see lighthouses. This was one we found down a dirt road and I think it is Bluff […]
Monochrome Madness #8 – Windows
The theme this week has been set for us by Dawn, from The Day After. She thought Windows would be a good challenge and I have to agree. There are really windows in every building and […]
Getting back and looking back at the Milky Way in Queenstown
I have made it home. I have to say the last leg was a bad one. I don’t know, I find it really hard to sleep on the boat, or the Spirit of Tasmania. The […]
Tasmanian Wanderings – Our last full day
Today was the last full day in Tasmania and tomorrow we have some time before we have to be back in Devonport to catch the Spirit of Tasmania. Today we went on a cruise along […]
Tasmanian Wanderings – The end is close to hand as we land in Launceston
We have left Cradle Mountain and travelled to Launceston today. Very different places, it was a lot colder at the mountain. We have spent the day wondering why we were so hot, perhaps because we […]
Tasmanian Wanderings – Around Dove Lake under Cradle Mountain
Today I was up very early to get to Dove Lake to see if I could get a sunrise with Cradle Mountain. I got something, so not totally unhappy. We headed back for breakfast and […]
Tasmanian Wanderings – To Cradle Mountain we go in the internet no go zone
Today we arrived at Cradle Mountain. The trip here was good, not so sure about our accommodation. The places are okay, but for the money they charge you would expect more, like maybe the internet. […]
