Shades of evening are reflected on the woodwork at Eastern Beach, Geelong, Australia. Pentax istDS Camera / /
A still, calm evening at Dog Rocks and we were blessed with the sunset colours shimmering on the small lake !!
Eastern Beach, Geelong
Dog Rocks is located at Batesford near Geelong in Victoria, Australia. WINNER of the 2008 Henry Lawson Festival of Arts photography bronze statuette for BEST PHOTOGRAPH OF THE EXHIBITION. Also WINNER of the OPEN COLOUR section.
Sunday, July 13 – Buckley Falls, Geelong Went to revisit last, last sunday and was met with a vivid pink display that lit up the sky for a few minutes before disappearing again. / I think i was just lucky to be at the right place at the right time.
Corio Villa, Geelong, Austalia My own photography from a trip to Geelong with my magic added. A single-storey prefabricated iron house designed by Bell & Miller, architects and engineers, manufactured in Edinburgh, Scotland by Charles D. Young & Co. and assembled in Australia by Alfred Douglass in 1856. / Soon after its production and shipping to Geelong the factory and all the moulds were destroyed by fire, thus ensuring ‘Corio Villa’s’ uniqueness / in Australia. The crates arrived at the Cunningham pier, Geelong in 1855 with apparently no indication of a name of the consignee. Later it was discovered that William Nairn Gray, Commissioner of Crown Lands, Portland district had originally ordered the house, but had died before the crates arrived unclaimed. Alfred Douglas, who had a successful wool washing business in Geelong purchased the relics from the Port Authority for a small sum. / The heavy cast iron pieces were hauled up the Eastern Beach hill and assembled on its present site overlooking Corio Bay. The walls are prefabricated from ½” cast iron boiler plate. The sheets 3’ X 3’ were then bolted together to form wall sections complete with window openings. Internal linings are of lath and plaster. Sashes are solid cast iron which slide into wall cavities. Verandah posts and porch supports are cast in the most delicate filigree patterns. Most of the decorative work echoes the pattern of the rose, and the thistle of Scotland. There are classic vases of delightful proportions which serve as decorative flower pots on the sun porches and about the house. The lion’s head motif is repeated as a “keystone” to each arch / in verandahs and porches and strikes a note of kingly grandeur. / Barge boards are likewise of cast iron delicately patterned in fretwork. The overall composition is formal yet delicate, comprising a main entrance porch leading into a hall on either side of which are gabled roofed parallel wings flanked by filigree verandahs. Overall, the craftsmanship is of a remarkably high standard. Historically ‘Corio Villa’ is of considerable interest, it is an increasingly rare example of a Victorian gold rush era. Architecturally its significance is incalculable as ‘Corio Villa’ is by far the most ornate and splendid prefabricated house in Australia and possibly the world

Taken on Saturday evening, February 7th, near Geelong after a day of record-breaking temperatures (47.6 C or 118 F) and, tragically, the worst bushfires in our state’s history with towns virtually wiped out, hundreds of homes lost and, as I write, a death toll of 28 which is expected to rise when rescuers enter areas which were unreachable during the firestorm. I felt voyeuristic and very sad capturing this brilliant sunset caused by so much disaster just a hundred or so kilometres away. I only hope that those who are missing are found alive and that those who have suffered tragedy will somehow find the strength to rebuild their lives. A testament to my elderly parents who lost their home and everything they owned in the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires and a tribute to their resilience in starting again.
You guys know by now that i like to keep things simple. That’s the type of photographer i am, and i think it also says a lot about what kind of person i am. Clear…simple…minimal….no worries :)
One Canon 400D Camera + Sigma 10-20 Lens / One RAW photo edited in Adobe Lightroom. / Two wet feet. Enjoy your week folks! .
....sometimes it pays to turn around. / You’ll notice that this is a view from behind the Tree, not the traditional view. Most of us that go there mainly photograph it from the other side…. something made me turn around on this particular night.
Canon 50D + Sigma 10-20mm / 1/3 second exposure @ f11 / Contrast, Exposure and Colour Balance adjusted in Adobe Lightroom Spring is here, hopefully more shots will be taken. Thank you for looking.
