An almost summer sunset in the city along the river
So you can see it was almost a sunset, but not quite. All the conditions were right for one, but there just wasn’t any real colour. It is always disappointing when you go to photograph […]
The city has a new train station and it is Town Hall Station
For the last couple of years the city of Melbourne has been upended as they were building a new underground train line. I don’t even know where it starts or finishes, but we now have […]
Floral Friday – Infrared photos from the Blue Lotus Water Gardens
When I went to the Blue Lotus Water Gardens I thought it might be fun to take the infrared camera with me. I have to admit I wasn’t sure at first whether or not I […]
Redoing an image taken of rocks very early in the morning
I took this image in 2015, but I think the first time I posted it was in 2018 for a water challenge. I don’t mind the image, but I thought it might be fun to […]
Monochrome Madness #51 – Markets
Our first theme for 2026 is MARKETS and has been set by our host, Sarah from Travel with Me. I haven’t been to a market for many years, I’m afraid, since the pandemic. I have become […]
Up up and away . . .

Finding a different view of the Seafarers Bridge in my archives
When I was going through my archives recently I came across this image. I instantly liked it. There are things I’m not happy with, but overall I like the idea. Look at how amazing those […]
Water flowing in and out on a beach along the coast of Victoria
For Monochrome Madness recently, I did a crop that was like a panorama, and I thought I might play around with that crop again. I found this image in my archives and decided to see […]
A different view of the Westgate Bridge in Melbourne
Most of us who live here see views of the Westgate Bridge usually from the sides, and rarely from the end. I don’t think I ever really considered the curve you drive around to get […]

Beth from Wandering Dawgs is challenging us to feature anything with WINGS. Today I am presenting you with Nature’s Angels, butterflies. I hope you enjoy them. All the photos were taken at the butterfly house […]
Redoing another image of the Deaf Children Australia’s Bluestone Building
Here is another redo for you. Once again I’ve picked an image of the Deaf Children Australia’s building. I wanted to do this one because I was never really happy with how it came out. […]
The Mysterious inside the walls of Churches for Lens-Artists Challenge #375
So perhaps my entry for the challenge set by Patti is not conventional. I tried to think about what the word MYSTERIOUS meant to me, and I couldn’t stop thinking about Churches, and religion in […]
Somewhere along the west coast of Tasmania
Today I want to share some photos that are of a place we stopped at when I was in Tasmania last year. I am not sure exactly where it was, but I know it was […]
