Lovecraft by Juilee Pryor
the essence of pathos and the embodiement of optimisim….. I was driving by and stopped at the lights approaching King street Newtown and I saw this little urban vingette and I just couldn’t resist… quick as a flash I had the old camera out of my handbag and got one frame off before the lights changed or the would be athlete saw me… maybe this is a bit cruel but I find it quite touching to be honest

Fey by Robert Knapman
Thanks Mat. Newtown Cemetery. Having or displaying an otherworldly, magical, or fairylike aspect or quality. Supernatural; unreal; enchanted: elves, fairies, and other fey creatures. The history of the words fey and fay illustrates a rather fey coincidence. The word fey, “fairy, elf,” is the descendant of Middle English faie, “a person or place possessed of magical properties,” and first recorded around 1390, goes back to Old French fae, “fairy,” the same word that has given us fairy. Fae in turn comes from Vulgar Latin Fāta, “the goddess of fate,” from Latin fātum, “fate.” If fay goes back to fate, so does fey in a manner of speaking, for its Old English ancestor fǣge meant “fated to die.” The sense we are more familiar with, “magical or fairylike in quality,” seems to have arisen partly because of the resemblance in sound between fay and fey.

No they didn't turn it off. by Jason Ruth
or it could be “There is a light at the end of the tunnel’ Cockatoo Island main North-South Tunnel Cockatoo Island is a hertiage listed in the middle of Sydney Harbour and is also the largest Island in the Habour. Since European settlement the island has been used for incarceration of convicts, industrial schooling and ship building. Maritime idustrial activity was ceased in 1992. 10 years later the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was established and this island was placed into their care. Rehabilitation and restoration of the island is continueing and upon each visit you are sure to note chages. This was my second visit to the Island and this time the trip was instigated by my wife, as she had never been here. It was a day out with the inlaws with all of us enjoying the photographic delights of this wonderful place. The weather did get the better of us on this day as a afternoon thunderstorm drew the days activity to a close. _EQUIPMENT / Nikon D300 / Nikon 12-24mm f/4.0 Lens / Tripod / Remote Release SETTINGS / Shutter: / Aperture: / ISO: 200 / Focal Length: PROCESSING / Photomatix (yes, again) / Capture NX / black/grey/white point allocation / Noiseware

Was drawn by the contrasts of the clouds as the storm started to come in to Sydney – hope I captured this as dramatic as it looked over the Iron Cove Bridge. Taken with Nikon D90 and tripod, bracketed 3 exposures merged in HDR MAtrix and adjusted in Lightroom. My first HDR attempt!

Promise by smallfox
Sydney Park, St Peters (NSW, Australia). We were on our way out of the park and this beautiful light was cast upon my vision. It seemed like a promise of new beginnings and as we had just moved that felt perfectly apt.

In memory by smallfox
Candles lit in a Greek Church in Newtown. People often light these candles in memory of loved ones passed away or as a prayer for those who need it, and place them in the sand trays. I darkened this a little.

road side assistance for the dead by Juilee Pryor
everywhere you go you will see flowers taped to stobie poles and trees where some poor soul has stacked their car and departed this vale of tears… mostly there fairly modest although I’ve seen some nice crosses and floral displays from time to time… but… but this extravagance on the Princes Highway at Tempe has to be the best one I’ve ever seen… so exuberant and lush …it’s just the bomb as far as road side shrines go … I saw this on the way back south after spending some time driving around the lush country around central NSW and I had to pull over and go back and take a few snaps… I just love it to bits… all telegraph poles should be dressed like this I think… imagine how happy we would all be if we saw stuff like this everywhere all over the place…
