Sulphur crested cockatoo in flight and backlit
-
This photo was taken from Wild Horse Mountain facing towards Mt Beerwah, one of the Glasshouse Mountains. Beerwah, according to local Aboriginal legend, is the pregnant mother of this family of mountains. If you look at the left-hand side of the mountain you should be able to see the shape of a reclining pregnant woman.

BETTER VIEWED LARGER There are some 50 old cranes remaining on the island , the biggest was TITAN / which measured 20 stories high and was a floating crane. When the island was closed Titan was towed to Singapore but did not survive the trip. Cockatoo Island is listed under the National Trust and has been returned tto the people not the developers ! It is now a very interesting tourist destination on Sydney Harbour, there is even camping on the island. The history of Cockatoo Island is emblematic of Australia’s history. Before the arrival of Europeans, it was undoubtedly used by the first Australians, the Aboriginal tribes of Sydney’s coastal region. In 1839 it was chosen as the site of a new penal establishment by the Governor of the colony of New South Wales, Sir George Gipps. Convicts were put to work building prison barracks, a military guardhouse and official residences. Not long after, the maritime history of Cockatoo Island began with the construction of the Fitzroy Dock by convicts. For the next 50 years the island was both a place of incarceration and the site of the colony’s ship repair and shipbuilding activities. During the twentieth century maritime activity grew, notably during World War I and World War II. For a time, Cockatoo Island was the largest shipbuilding yard in Australia. When the shipyard closed in 1992, Cockatoo Island lay dormant for a decade until the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was established and given the responsibility of revitalising this significant site. The Trust is rehabilitating the island and creating one of the most unusual places to visit in the city. Cockatoo Island has been returned to the people, for visitors to Sydney it is well worth a trip and can be reached from Sydney’s ferry terminal at Cicular Quay $5.20 each way on the ferry for adults , entrace to the island is FREE See More From the Cockatoo Island Series / Cockatoo Island Series

THANKS SO MUCH TO RED BUBBLE / FOR FEATURING THIS ON THE HOME PAGE / 8th February 2009 ...let’s all play nicely here folks and keep this brilliant community a melting pot of creativity, friendship and tolerance co-hosting three groups of my own, i do know it can be frustrating at times but seriously – there are far greater problems in this world at the moment than a challenge indiscretion – and in all honesty – most people really do just get confused with all the different rules of so many wonderful and exciting groups on here and omit the required specs – it only takes a little prod or gentle (cut & paste) reminder – which basically involves less energy that it does to delete the pic and send out rude & aggressive bubblemails! Life really is too short…unwind a little…don’t measure so much – the essence of any piece of art is the creative expression captured at that particular point in time…what came from the heart and eyes of the artist…not the logistics and statistics or the definition of urban! Red Bubble is not an official high end exclusive photography club bound by rigid rules and regulations – the very opposite – it’s a collective bunch of ordinary people who share the same passion for art and photography – and who enjoy expressing themselves through their art in the hope of being respected by like minded individuals – sharing new ideas, techniques and different perspectives from all walks of life – the world doesn’t need any more bullies…♥ a-m symons / 8th February 2009 / (with excerpts from a lengthy opinion, previously on this pic, regarding aggressive bubblemails from hosts – my removal from a challenge and subsequent removal from the group) my beautiful wild white cockatoos ♥ . ♥More Bird Pics ♥ ....the Bulldog Calendar now rolled over to 2010! /

THANKS SO MUCH TO RED BUBBLE / FOR FEATURING THIS ON THE HOME PAGE / 3rd April 2009 “For every low there is an equal but opposite high” ♥…a wing from one of my beautiful white cockatoos on take-off…mirrored and contrasted… / (and to be a bit more specific… this was taken thru my window at my desk here while working one day…the birds were just waddling around pecking at my lawn… and one took off up to sit in a tree… so with just one wing from a picture… I mirrored it to see if it would look like a ‘whole’ bird…LOL / . / ...then i was fiddling with v.basic tools of negative image and inversion etc to get a whole black/white effect… / . / ...THEN i started seeing images in the bird akin to an inkblot test and when they became a tad too disturbing for my own liking…. i left the image and moved on!! ...sheesh! Nikon D70 (Duds) – Auto / Focal Length 90.0mm / Exposure 1/800 (0.001s) / Aperture f/7.1 / AF Zoom-Nikkor Lens / ED 28-200mm / f/3.5-5.6G IF ♥ Other Misc Pics ♥ / ♥ Other BW Pics ♥ Finally….the Bulldog Calendar – now rolled over to 2010! /

I was totally in Awe as these beautiful birds flew overhead yesterday evening shooting in the Noosa Basin again.. I noticed them in the distance a few days back, with my earlier shots, and was determined to get these close. I didn’t manage to get too close unfortunately, but did snap this one. They come here in the evenings to hang out on a small dead tree. I will get these close one day soon :) Fingers crossed they hang around for a while. They have a beautiful “sing” call, rather than the other species of cockatoo seems to be more a “squark”.. Canon 50D, 400mm. Noosa Basin, Noosaville, Queensland. This was the last shot I managed to get with the 1/400 shutter, then most the captured were blurred due to low light. Available Large, best viewed large!

A sulphur crested galah coming in to land in our backyard, for a free feed!

We were out for a drive today and went off the beaten track a bit to discover a new area, not much where we drove but a dumping ground for peoples rubbish and the settling ponds for the local sewerage plant hmmmm, but even amongst such revolting human waste beauty can be found if you look for it. / A couple of Yellow tailed Black Cockatoo’s dropped by for an impromptu visit, very unusual for them to be so low down in the tree’s so we got some lucky shots !!

A south eastern red tailed black cockatoo poses for some shots, he almost looks a little shy ! There are 5 subspecies of Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo in Australia. The South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii graptogyne) is only found in south-east South Australia and south-west Victoria. With an estimated population of about 1400 birds, the South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo is in danger of extinction,which is why it is so important for breeding programs like those at the Melbourne Zoo to try to keep these guys safe now and in the future Information from Redtail.com.au Canon 450D / EF 75/300 lens
