A ferris wheel in motion on a cloudy afternoon.
We made our structures not to compliment nature, but for it to compliment us… Taken in the Sydney CBD on September 11th 2007… people must have been a little worried me so utterly fascinated with the building tops with my camera at the ready that day giggle oops.
The beautiful colours of a peacock.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Sunset out West Bathurst, Country New South Wales, Australia. AS IS – Straight from the Camera From where I sit on my back verandah, somtimes I’m luckily enough to capture a few of the beautiful sunsets that we have out here in the west. In winter, the sun is in just the right position. Bathurst is Australia ’s oldest inland settlement and has a population of around 37,000. It is only a two and a half-hour drive from Sydney and a three-hour drive from Canberra . Canon PowerShot A650 IS Shutter Speed: 1/1000sec / Aperture: F4.8 / ISO: 80
The following piece written by Gregoryno6 The Station Master’s Cottage by Gregoryno6 / / It was abandoned long before the railway line was closed. Today it is principally the travellers who see it: a series of glimpses between the trees, as the highway veers to bypass the town. First impressions are often pleasant. In memory, a diseased greyness seeps in. A sense of blight comes down in a heavy curtain and no subsequent viewing, however sunlit, will dispel that. / The town has grown northward, away from the station master’s cottage. Something terrible happened there but the facts are dimly remembered. Few recall the event that overshadows the annual fair. It was no day for festivities in 1952: the station master, his wife and two grown daughters were discovered inside the cottage. The women were found unclothed, in obscene poses; the station master locked himself in his study before cutting his throat with a razor. The town’s policeman let it be understood that no suicide note had been found. In fact, when he broke down the door, he found the station master’s journal beside his chair. / The diary was a catalogue of perversions. From his first days in the town, the station master had recorded his vile amusements. The sergeant was not a religious man. But the book was a burden he could not bear alone; he took it to the station master’s former clergyman, who declared it the work of the devil. They agreed to cast it from this world. Page by page they burnt it in the pastor’s fireplace. / The sergeant was transferred to another town. The pastor was left to grapple with his questions. The station master had been a devout man, regular in his attendance. How could God have permitted such mockery? If ever a man belonged in Hell it was the station master. How could the Lord turn aside and stay His hand when filth such as that sang His praises? Doubts and rough whiskey left the pastor a hollow man. He became obsessed with the cottage – a jeering tribute to depravity. The pastor hoped to see it burn. But he lacked the courage to light the flame. / Faint hearts abet the enemy, and sometimes we betray our finer instincts. We offer aid or consolation and hurry on, disowning the gesture. Evil derides such compulsions. The black hymns of the pit reward pride and passion, and endurance. The darkness is ever rising against the tenuous light. Kindness is fleeting. Evil builds. / And evil waits. There is a boy, impatient to be a man, who looks restlessly for a future beyond the town. Lately he has taken to wandering while his parents sleep; a week ago, distracted by his conflicts, he found himself at the cottage. From the window of the study a bespectacled old man stared down at him. His face was locked in a silent scream – the boy fled. But youth won out over caution and he returned. Last night the old man walked into the boy’s dreams. The boy knows now that this old man is not a man at all… furthermore, he is not screaming. / He is laughing. Best viewed LARGE

An old fishing boat lies rotting, amongst a whole raft of other old boats who will never put to sea again. / Greenfield Dock, North Wales.
A bench, in Wales, has become a best seller of mine. Amazing how the simplest things can prove to be the most productive!
THE TIDE WAS IN AND THE LIGHT WAS RIGHT AT TENBY HARBOUR WALES UK
Taken at Bateau Bay on the Central Coast, about two hours north of Sydney (by train or drive). Just gorgeous colours <3>
Located in the outback town of Cobar, New South Wales, Australia.
Taken in Mungo National Park – NSW – Australia. Took the long drive up to Mildura in the northern part of Victoria for my cousins engagement party and thought that I would also take the opportunity to drive out to Lake Mungo, where stand the “Walls of China”. Ancient clay formations from a time when the climate in the sub-desert region was substantially wetter. Within the clays lie fossil remains which achaeoligist say are the remains of some of the earliest settlers in Australia. The drive is relatively short from Mildura, about 1.5hrs. But most of the drive is on unsealed and corrugated roads, unaccessable when wet. If you get the chance to go, make sure you tell someone your plans and take plenty of water as temperatures in summer exceed 40C (104F). There is no mobile phone coverage and very little water.

A woolshed with a most unusual octagonal design is registered with the National Trust as a building of significance. The original shed was built in 1861 but burnt down. Rebuilt in 1869, it is also one of the oldest and largest sheds in Australia. It’s three-tier roof with a clerestory of glass ventilators allowed shearers to work in a well lit and ventilated environment. The shed is still in use today. Best viewed LARGE

This winter weather is getting on my nerves, so I return to Monkstone Point on the South Wales coast near Tenby. The point is only accessable at low tide and is a wonderful wide expanse of golden sand and rock formations. Don’t get caught by the tide.. it’s a long climb up the cliff to the Pembrokeshire Coastal path leading to Tenby or Saundersfoot.
This image was captured in Taree, The Manning Valley, New South Wales.

BEST VIEWED LARGER As the Northern Hemispere turns to Spring the Southern Hemisphere turns to autumn. This shot was taken in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area in the township of Mount Wilson. The colours when I visited were great , but with the climate conditions that we are experiencing the colours do not last long. / The natural patterns of autumn, highlighted by the sunlight. This is a private garden of 12 Acres that is one of the many opened up to the public in autumn and spring> There is no colour manipulation here it is a good example of what effect pure HDR has on autumn colours, what is brighter to the human eye is emphasised when opened to High Dynamic Range (HDR) Equipment: Nikon D300 Sigma 10-20mm lens / Technique: 5 Bracketted exposures then processed using Photomatix with a slight adjustment to focus in Capture NX. The colours emphasised by the layering process of HDR. /
