    Thanks Bev, I just get in the car and drive ! I went to take skate photos for a change but the best skaters weren’t there ! So off to the park I went, and grabbed this and a few other shots. A nice session. :)

  • reflector replied

    Thanks very much Tom, you’re a comedian ! [ more, more ! ] I grabbed a few as the light changed yesterday afternoon. I’m just waiting for my 24 term to expire before I can upload more.

  • shallay

    shallay

    Nice liquid colour, nice words too. Strange to associate Newcastle with beautiful scenery!

  • reflector replied

    Thanks for the comment Shallay ! It’s not all smog ‘n dust up here you know ! [ I think you’ve been here, so you know how to ” have a dig ”, knowing it’s much better here than you are making it out to be ! :) ]

  • shallay

    shallay

    Ah, sorry reflector, I truly haven’t been to Newcastle. I’m running strictly on a diet of innuendo and rumour. It all started with that ‘Coals to Newcastle’ thing at school. Coal/ Newcastle = smoky, gritty city. Of course there must be parts of it that aren’t like that, and your photos will help dispel the stereotype.
    (Only been to Darling Harbour in NSW – on a sunny day! just beautiful) – a formula all the developers down at Glenelg foreshore are trying to resurrect here, without a fraction of the magic.

  • reflector replied

    Darling Harbour has all the Bells and Whistles, but Port Stephens [ part of Newcastle ] has a big Marina and stunning bay views. Great beaches there too, besides around our city centre. We’re very lucky up here, as you are in Adelaide !

  • shallay

    shallay

    Ok, I’ll keep that in mind as I peruse your entire photo collection and nudge you for more shots of those stunning bay views….

  • reflector replied

    Do anything, but don’t nudge me for Port Stephens shots ! :) I used to surf there every weekend, and then every now and again, but haven’t been there for years. I lived in Sydney for quite a few years and life has changed – the surf isn’t a vital part of my life now.
    Pages 9 to 14 – scan over them and you’ll see a few of our beaches here.

    beautiful colors and reflections, well done

  • reflector replied

    Thanks Daniel, I went to take skate photos at my “home park” but many locals weren’t there so I headed for the water and the bush looking for shots and grabbed this.

    I fav’d this several days ago, but the more i look at it the more i like it.
    The sky is crazy colorful and the low light adds to its mystique..Great capture my friend!

  • reflector replied

    Thanks very much Jason ! It looks like a vision of somewhere heavenly, I think – that ethereal haze. You just posted some great images and it’s nice to see the different scenery around the world. It’d be great to have more Asians on RB too – there are many magic sights over there.
