This is the other Beacon at Port Melbourne as you can see it’s inland and a park behind it and houses around, but this is inline with the one in the water both have their lights on so ships still use these in some way to navigate.
Standing on the roof of this abandoned shipbuilding site on the Tyne in Newcastle i was hoping to be able to get a shot out to see where the ships built here would have headed, but unfortunately this was not possible due to other buildings blocking the view so i had to settle for a shot inland.

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. / Show respect to all people and grovel to none. / When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. / Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. / Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.” / quote by Chief Tecumseh, Shawnee Nation Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 29 August 2007 21:16:56 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/200 / Av( Aperture Value ) 9.0 / ISO Speed 400 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 28.0 mm

Canon 50D | ISO 100 | f11 | 2.5 | 10mm About Lake Moogerah ah la Lake Fog. The sun was rising to the left, but the colours in the sky, oh my. A very dominating foreground, perhaps too much so. Processing HDR (-1, 0, +1). Processed in Photomatix and then back to LR2 and PS for some Soft Light, sharpening and clarity.

Another week in the Riverland and visited the Noora Salt Interception basin three mornings in a row. Joined by Smarti77 and Dave Hartley and it was only on the last morning that the clouds and rising sun created the beautiful soft colours and shapes in this shot. Noora is a back water off the River Murray main where the water is heavily salty and dead gum trees from a distant past stand in silent vigil. This area is located between Berri and Renmark in the Riverland of South Australia. Canon 400D 17-85 lens with Pro Polarising filter. My apologies to those of you who I have not been able to visit lately, time now back home will see me catch up I hope!
Pink salt slick in the backwater area of the Noora Evaporation basin between Berri and Renmark South Australia. This area is severely degraded but is a significant distance from River Murray main and has been in this condition for years. It is a sorry sight to see and the area has a real feel of death and desolation. The storms clouds in the distance brought some much needed rain to the area during the night. Thanks to Dave Hartley for joining me on this excursion. Three shot panoramic using a Canon 400D, 17-85 lens with Polarising filter. Stitched in Photoshop CS3.
I am lost in a sea of pain / I will tread water as long as I can / Majestic mountain and waterfall / I see below your islands and trees / My favorite places of all! I will just float for I am tired / Watch for rocks and obstacles / Your babbling water soothes me / Where am I now, a pond, a lake or the sea? Well I don’t know because you don’t answer me / Does it matter whether it is land or sea? / I guess not, just a place to lay my head down / I can’t hear you, so I am Inland Bound. written by linmarie-10/24/2009 / Painting painted with spray paint and acrylics, and pen and ink,, 10/24/2009 30% OF SALES WILL BE DONATED TO- THE RELAY FOR LIFE-CANCER WALK- / FEATURED IN THE WORLD AS WE SEE IT-group-10/27/09 / FEATURED IN-ART NOUVEAU & THE ART & CRAFT MOVEMENT group-10/28/09 / “bound” / “bound”
