This image was taken some years ago on slide film I had to use a soft filter to eliminate all blemishes.The cement company does not excist any more and has been pulled down.
Cement Creek is about 10 minutes outside of Warburton in the Yarra Valley, Victoria on the way to Mt Donna Buang. Beautiful little spot with many little hidden cascades like this magnificent specimen. To check out other shots from this area see my Yarra Ranges gallery.

I wasn’t bored…......... :) because I wasn’t doing what I was supposed to be doing…....paying bills and doing housework, he he he, believe me , I made this drag out as long as I possibly could and that was easy because there is no way to time a stinking, huge droplet to fall where you want it to. When the fun was over…....sadly I went back to the reality of the mundane and did what I was supposed to do but with a much happier attitude :) that’s my story and I’m sticking to it :) Photograph of a droplet/eyeball with a background of a painted cement block, / Selective coloring and shadow added.
The rain finally eased up toady…..probably because it was back to work after easter..lol / Anyway, I managed to get out after dinner. Went to Merewether Baths and because today was ‘cleaning day’ the pool was empty so I could actually get into it without getting too wet the water was just up to my knees I got a few pics before it was too dark. I am going to post 2 shots of the pump house, both have a very different feel about them and since one of the objects of this site is to actually sell art something I have not been successful with as of late… I wanted to put up both as they will probably appeal to different people…I hope!

The former railway line that once snaked its way fifteen kilometres from Adamstown to Belmont was originally constructed in the late 1880’s. It was used to transport coal from mines in the Lake Macquarie area to the Port of Newcastle. Evidence of some of the mines is still visible from the track. The Adamstown to Belmont Rail line helped contribute to the development of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. As well as being used for coal haulage, it was used as a passenger service between Belmont and Newcastle with stations at Kahibah, Whitebridge and Redhead. The last scheduled steam train ran in 1967 before switching to diesel and the last passenger train ran in 1971. During the 1980’s coal mines along the corridor began to close down and the line ceased to be used in 1991 with the closure of Lambton B Colliery. The railway closed in 1991, and the two Councils completed the purchase of the corridor in 1994. Shortly after, the Fernleigh Tunnel (having survived two earthquakes in 1925 and 1989) was closed to public access following an assessment of its structural condition. It has since been reopened and this is where I took this photograph.
Thank you for viewing.

Back at Cement Creek with Deb for a bit of experimentation with exposures and off camera flash firing. Great fun, though a shame the NEW gumboots leaked! Cement Creek is located in the Yarra Ranges National Park, and you will find a lovely walking track, & rainforest gallery half way up Mt.Donna Buang. Mt.Donna Buang is a great spot for “sight seeing” snow in winter – last winter the snowline was lower than I have ever seen – so a great place to take the kids for snowman building & toboggan rides! / SPOT THE TOG!! Deb camouflages herself at Cement Creek!

Cement Creek is my third most popular shot on the bub having 2078 views, 42 fav’s, 90 comments and 1 sale. Now that I have a better camera and lenses I’m thinking of simply updating the pic (so I don’t loose all those lovely stats) to this one but just thought I’d post it first to see if people actually think it’s better and as another interesting comparison between Digital and Velvia . All comments/ opinions welcome. Here’s the Velvia version Camera: Canon EOS 5D mkII / Lens: EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM @ 19mm / Filter: Circular Polariser / ISO: 100 / Shutter Speed: 10sec / Aperture: f/13 / WB: Auto / Exposure Compensation: – 1 and 1/3rd of a stop / When: 3:35pm on 23/7/09 To check out other shots from this area see my Yarra Ranges gallery.

From certain viewpoints the old cement works in Geelong looks like a bomb site (or what I imagine a bomb site looks like). The stormy sky just added to the feeling of destruction. / HDR created with tone mapping and tonal adjustment. / Nikon D300 with 12 – 24 mm wide angle lens.
He left her laying on the floor on a dirty mattress, the place he left her every night, the place he told her to / now call “Home” as he walked away from her, the hatred streaming through her veins made her snap, she wouldn’t go down like this,she called out to him, “Don’t Leave”, turning eyeing her suspiciously, he walked back to her, not knowing she had found her weapon earlier that day, a brick in the corner under some cardboard, behind her back she gripped it with one hand, the other hand reaching out to him, as he drew close she brought the brick down hard on the side of his head..down he went….she ran towards the door slamming it shut..,,finally she was free!!! She didn’t know which way to run, she just ran..as she rounded the corner.. to her utter relief parked not 20 ft from her was a police car..screaming..running she now knew she was safe..in no time she would be back home..”Her Home” she drew closer seeing him getting out of his car approaching her, she ran..throwing herself in the safety of his open arms..crying..”there..there now..your safe” he said ..she stiffened..knowing that voice..No it can’t be!!! She looked up right into the eyes of her worst nightmare..Him..he looked down, kissed her forhead “ wrapped his arms tightly around her waist..Now sweetie lets go back HOME.. Nikon D90 / 18-200 mm VR Lens Went on the inner part of the grain elevator today and got this shot (no one around on Sundays)
