One of the most incredible photographers that I have come by is Kenton Elliott….Click"here":http://www.redbubble.com/people/firesands
He has inspired me to try my hand at something different….
I hope I do him justice.

This is the first in a set that will take up many images over a long period of time.

This image was taken in the main street of “Sovereign Hill” here in Ballarat Central Victoria Australia…… Click here

Set in the Gold Mining Era of early Australia in the mid 1800’s, it is a trip back in time.
This is what my Great Grandparents would have seen when they arrived in Ballarat in 1866 to try there hand after being shipwrecked and needing something to help them begin a new future…Click"here":http://www.redbubble.com/people/cullodenmist/wr...
