  • Alfred the Great (Old English: Ælfrēd; c. 849 – October 26, c. 899), also spelt Ælfred, was king of the southern Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to 899. Alfred is noted for his defence of the kingdom against the Danish Vikings, becoming the only English King to be awarded the epithet “the Great”. Alfred was the first King of the West Saxons to style himself “King of the English”. Details of his life are discussed in a work by the Welsh scholar Asser. Alfred was a learned man, and encouraged education and improved his kingdom’s law system as well as its military structure. / A popular legend originating from early twelfth century chronicles, tells how when King Alfred first fled to the Somerset Levels, he was given shelter by a peasant woman who, unaware of his identity, left him to watch some cakes she had left cooking on the fire. Preoccupied with the problems of his kingdom, Alfred accidentally let the cakes burn and was taken to task by the woman upon her return. Upon realising the king’s identity, the woman apologised profusely, but Alfred insisted that he was the one who needed to apologise. / More about Alfred

  • A quaint little Boathouse in the Alfred Nicholas Gardens, Dandenong Ranges, Victoria. This was taken just getting into Autumn, will go back again later in the season, hopefully there will be more colour in the leaves!

  • Hamo Thornycroft’s statue of King Alfred the Great, which looks West up the High Street in Winchester, the ancient capital of Alfred’s Wessex.

  • I was lucky enough today to have the time to get back out to this magic place, and just at the right time too when all the leaves have turned but not yet fallen from the trees. The last time I went there (exactly a month earlier) they were replacing the bridges between the islands so I couldn’t get to the best spot, and even though they are still working on the bridges, I did what any good photographer would do and jumped the barriers anyway. Taken at the Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens, Dandenong Ranges NP, Victoria. Shot with a Nikon D200, 12-24mm lens at 20mm, F/16, 100 ISO. 7 shot HDR. Tone mapped in Photomatix, other adjustments in Photoshop. BEST VIEWED LARGER

  • Taken at the Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens, Dandenong Ranges NP, Victoria. This tree stands alone on a small island in an ornamental man made lake. I shot this tree exactly one month ago, and I had to revisit it now that we’re further into autumn. I’ve tried to get the composition as close to the original as possible. The difference one month makes is quite astonishing! Shot with a Nikon D200, 7 shot HDR, processed with Photomatix, adjustments made in Photoshop. BEST VIEWED LARGER. Some other shots taken from these gardens:

  • Kookaburra at Alfred Nicholas Gardens, Sherbrooke, Mt Dandenong, Victoria, Australia. / / Kookaburras make a laughing call, most often in the early morning and just before dark. The calls let other kookaburras know where each one lives. An Aboriginal legend says that the kookaburra’s laugh is a signal to the sky spirits to light the great fire, the sun, in the morning and to put it out at night. Breeding / After mating, the female kookaburra lays up to 4 eggs in a hole in a tree. The male and the female take turns to sit on the eggs until they hatch, about 25 days later. Both parents feed their chicks. Adult birds swallow food and then bring it back up again when it is mushy and feed it to the chicks. As the chicks grow they can be fed small worms or slugs or similar small food which they learn to eat like adults do. Then they have to learn how to find the food for themselves. / The young kookaburras have feathers after about one month. They leave the nest soon after that. / ~ Sydenham and Thomas, Kookaburras. [Online] www.kidcyber.com.au(2008) The Kookaburra is the Bird Emblem of the State of New South Wales / Nikon D300, Lens Nikkor:18-200mm ED VR / 200mm, 1/250s, f/5.3, ISO:900 / High ISO due to fading light

  • On the water; Alfred Nicholas Gardens, Sherbrooke.

  • Rotunda at Alfred Nicholas Gardens 23 May 2009. Alfred Nicholas purchased this land in 1929 to build his home and then proceeded to buy up surrounding land to add to his estate. The property was soon named ‘Burnham Beeches’. Alfred Nicholas and his brother George developed the ‘Aspro’ painkiller. It was originally a German discovery, the supply of which halted during the first world war. George, a chemist, re-discovered the formula, the Australian Government awarded the patent and the Nicholas fortune grew. Mr Nicholas travelled the streets of outer Melbourne searching for established trees to be purchased for his property. Unfortunately he passed away before the garden was completed, and soon the property began to decline. Mrs Nicholas stayed on the property until the outbreak of the second world war. After the war the house was handed to their company which converted it for use as a research laboratory. The Nicholas Company decided in 1965 to donate the gardens to the people of Victoria by way of the local shire council. In 1972, the council handed the garden over to the Victorian State Government. / Sherbrooke Road, Sherbrooke (off the Mount Dandenong Tourist Road). Melways ref: 75 G1.

  • This reflection of a bridge was taken at the lake, Alfred Nicholas Gardens, the Dandenongs, Victoria, Australia, in spring (hence why it is so green). These wooden bridges have since been replaced with new ones (which aren’t as nice). This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera.

  • Taken at Melbourne Zoo / The Blue-winged Kookaburra, Dacelo leachii, is a very large species of kingfisher with a total length of around 40 cm. Compared to the related Laughing Kookaburra, it is smaller, lacks a dark mask, has more blue in the wing, and (usually) a light-coloured eye. It is sexually dimorphic, with a blue tail in the male, and a rufous tail with blackish bars in the female. The Blue-winged Kookaburra has a distribution from southern New Guinea and the moister parts of northern Australia, to southern Queensland across the Top End, and as far down the Western Australian coast as the Shark Bay area. The scientific name commemorates the British zoologist William Elford Leach. Widespread and common throughout its large range, the Blue-winged Kookabura is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. / Nikon D300.
