A couple of “weaners” on the rocky basalt beach of Heard Island, resting in the last of the afternoon sun. This close to the ground, the rocks were almost warm, and the howling gale that had been blowing me off my feet most of the time was only a stiff breeze. Happily, these two didn’t seem to mind having my company for a few moments, and even snuggled a bit closer at one stage.

Did the elephant mean to aim at the baby, / Did the Baby mean to attack the elephant repeatedly with the stick. You decide.
Here lie the remnants of what was once a grindstone stand. It was found in an old shed in the Eling Forest Winery, (not far from Berrima and Moss Vale), deep in the heart of the Southern Highlands of NSW Australia. This area is fast gaining an excellent reputation for its fine red and white wines, some of which have won Australian (the best anyway!) and International Awards in recent times. How sad it is that I can take my clients to weddings and wine tastings – but not a drop may pass my lips! Until I have a few days off and dinner with friends, that is!

Then a bit of mucking about in PSE 3 to enhance the textures and grain in the old timbers.
