Wollongong Breakwater Lighthouse, Wollongong, NSW, Australia. After traveling 3 1/2 hours to do some work at Wollongong, I noticed some storm clouds rolling in. I was down near the water having a look around at the scenery and lined the shot up to get the breakwater, the lighthouse and the clouds all together. 3 Exp HDR / 3 Image Panorama / Canon 350D / Lens: 18-55mm EF-S / Focal length: 18mm / ISO: 100 / Tripod Mounted / Photomatix Pro, Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2 [info] / The Wollongong Breakwater Lighthouse or known affectionally as “Old Wollongong Lighthouse” by the locals was built in 1871 after an earlier request made by the Wollongong Borough Council in 1866 to help mariners safely nagvigate the port of Wollongong in the early days of the coal industry in the Illawarra region. It is situated in the Belmore Basin on the southern breakwater, within walking distance to its newer twin, the Wollongong Head Lighthouse. / Designed by Edward Moriarty, the Engineer-in-Chief of Harbours and Rivers Department, the tower is constructed of wrought iron on a ferro-concrete base to survive any gale force weather in the area. It is one of the two towers in New South Wales made from wrought iron plates—another identical one was built at Ulladulla Breakwater which later moved to Warden Head. Its construction was delayed by heavy seas which the tower did survive through. Until the lighthouse came into service, a temporary red light was fixed in a box at the end of the pier. Its lantern was installed in July 1871 but its light was not exhibited regularly until January 1872. / Due to poor maintenance of the wrought iron plates in later years, its support fixtures and foundation had deteriorated so much that the lighthouse was considered unsafe and slated for demolition in the 1970s. However, the Wollongong community called for its retention and local organisations subsequently contributed to its restoration then and again in 2002. The old lighthouse has become an icon of Wollongong for its part played in its history and is often depicted on its tourist brochures and even appears as an emblem on the pocket of a local high school uniform. / The new Wollongong Head Lighthouse was constructed on Flagstaff Point to the south of the Breakwater in 1937 and took over as the major light in the harbour in 1974. Though decommissioned now, it is still fully functional and its lights are only relit to mark special maritime occasion nowadays. (Wikipedia)

Sheep With The Wall That Isn’t There We went to Brogo for the weekend. We stayed with friends on their farm in the Bega Valley along with more friends who came down from Canberra. The best of company and a top weekend in a beautiful part of the world. They had 4mls of much needed and very welcome rain overnight. The greening of the paddocks and gullies was instant and very inviting. So, out of bed and out of the camper for a wander around to enjoy the freshness, the struggling sunshine and the pastoral tranquility all on my pat malone. This old house is, apparently, one of the oldest buildings still standing in the Bega Valley. It’s obviously seen better days. There are plans afoot, though, to ensure that it sees better days again. But on my morning wander it’s back wall – or rather lack of a back wall – provided a frame that presented a scene that defined the day and the sense of place…. ignoring, of course, the deep carpet of sheep shit on the floor. © Copyright – 2009 Jeff Catford / Kit: / Nikon D200 – Sigma 10~20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM / Manfroto tripod / Nikon MC-36 Remote / Exposure: / 16mm / f10×9 exposures – 1/500sec ~ 1/2sec / Post Processing: / Photomatix – PSE 7 – Topaz Adjust and the faint, but no doubt imagined, aroma of wet sheep. / / It’s woolly nice all bigged up
