I think i’m going to start a “Living Landmark Series’. This tree has a story. A good friend of mind had visited this tree 25 years ago and this week-end he organised for me to venture with him to see this Living Landmark. This is a ‘Cedrus libari’ or known as a Lebanon Cedar. A tall long lived Cedar with spreading branches that grows in Lebanon & Turkey. Quite a rare tree for Australia. It was his second visit and my first, although i can see this tree from my backyard perched below ‘Cook’s Hill’ in Korumburra in South Gippsland Australia. It is estimated that this tree is around 100 years old planted around the same time as the Korumburra Botanical Gardens somewhere around 1910-1920.
I wonder if there is any more of these trees perched high on a hill in South Gippsland. The Cedar of Lebanon certainly has made it’s mark here.

/ Holstein Friesians / Bega Valley Holstein Friesians are a crossbreed of 2 types of cow. Friesian cows were originally from Friesland in Holland and first arrived in Australia in the 1850’s. These big cows are black and white and produce lots of milk. As farmers are paid on the amount of milk they produce, Holstein Friesians are quite popular, making up more than 60% of Australia’s dairy cattle. They can cope with a broad range of temperatures and conditions.
Well I’ve been uploading some pretty and colourful images for the last week or so and now I’m going to post some more of my dark landscapes again. All of this series will be infrared film images taken a couple of years ago at a friends place in the Hunter Valley. This is the first one which till now I’ve called very uninspiringly hill 5…. now its been reinvented as big hill little cow….. hope you like it
Again for the few who might be interested: / Here are the ingredients of this beastlike montage! / / And yes – there are really 15 cows ;-) / Have a look
A Cow upside down in a tree at the Docklands in Melbourne, Australia. Definitely one of the stranger sculptures out there! HDR in Photomatix, adjustments in Lightroom
Many many images edited in CS3…lots of detail so look closely…:)....the little girl is my youngest dressed up as Dorthy (she is a big fan :) )....this was a shared project with her…she chose the theme and where things would go and what was added…..she really enjoys watching me work in photoshop and many times lends her thoughts on my images…sometimes I listen….like her though sometimes I am stubborn and do it my way :) lol

Until today, I wasn’t sure that six-legged cows existed. But a trip into the Hunter Valley changed my mind ! :)) Image taken with a 6 MP Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S500.

Found this little beauty in a farm in the Numinbah Valley, Queensland, Australia. Beautiful country scenery in this area, and looks to be locked in time in the early 1900’s.. I image this to be the shack of a farm hand at some stage. I doubt it’s still habitable, although the oranges just outside the door would make for good lunches! The white in the background are clouds, the rainy day made for lots of low cloud! Canon 50D, 60mm, 16:9 crop, 60% desaturation. I quite liked the old photo theme with this shot, hense the desaturate. Available Large, and best viewed Large!
Country Life
An abandoned pickup truck in the countryside near Toowoomba, Queensland. / I popped a wireless flash in the truck to light the interior.
I decided to create this piece because I have been sitting in all day waiting for a package from Fed Ex to be delivered. You know, the ones where you have to sign for it and they give you a 10 hour window for delivery. So I didn’t want to waste my time doing menial things like cleaning the dust bunnies and doing laundry. I think this was time well spent myself!
