The ring is on my hand, And the wreath is on my brow; / Satin and jewels grand Are all at my command, / And I am happy now. And my lord he loves me well; But, when first he breathed his vow, / I felt my bosom swell- For the words rang as a knell, / And the voice seemed his who fell In the battle down the dell, / And who is happy now. But he spoke to re-assure me, And he kissed my pallid brow, / While a reverie came o’er me, And to the church-yard bore me, / And I sighed to him before me, Thinking him dead D’Elormie, / “Oh, I am happy now!” And thus the words were spoken, And this the plighted vow, / And, though my faith be broken, And, though my heart be broken, / Here is a ring, as token / That I am happy now! Would God I could awaken! For I dream I know not how! / And my soul is sorely shaken Lest an evil step be taken,- / Lest the dead who is forsaken / May not be happy now. ... Edgar Allan Poe Canon 300D // 3 frame HDR/tone image The lighthouse keepers cottage, at The Narrows, Pt Malcolm, South Australia
Many of the Australian Aboriginal artists are women. I was fortunate to be given permission to take this photo, as with many indigenous cultures there are differing thoughts and beliefs relating to images of themselves and hence “candid” photography can be in some circumstances, very offensive. / Many people believe that the patterns and symbols used in this art are “random” and/or “abstract”, however it is usually well structured with many recognisable symbols used to represent men, women , babies, creatures both in their daily lives and mythical traditions, along with features of their country. / It’s a pity that some “non-indigenous” and either unwitting, or plain unscrupulous people replicate this art in a random manner without the true understanding of the art and its representation. And many make some very big profits from this deception. (Canon 300D – Sigma 18-200mm OS lens) Artist location: Darwin / Background: Kakadu

A eucalypt forest in the Adelaide Hills. / This “red-processing” was prompted by what happened when I stopped to take these photographs. I had pulled the car off the main road onto a very quiet small dirt road to stop and take photographs. Within 15 minutes a police patrol had pulled up and was checking over my car. When I returned, I was asked questions about just what I was doing. The reason behind the vigilance – it is the start to the bush-fire season in southern Australia, and so many are started deliberately by “fire-bugs”. This meeting with the local constabulary brought home the memories of “Ash Wednesday” some 26 or so years ago, where SA and Vic were ravaged by massive fires and where I just managed to avoid being BBQed in my car, however others that day travelling ahead of me on that road weren’t so lucky.

Sevenhill Cellars – Clare Valley South Australia. The Jesuits, (Society of Jesus) migrated to Australia from Austria in 1848 seeking a life free from religious and political persecution. They settled at Sevenhill in the beautiful Clare Valley and established Sevenhill Cellars, which is the oldest existing winery in the Clare Valley in 1851. Initially the main purpose of the cellars was to provide sacramental wine for religious use and this has been ongoing. Sevenhill Cellars now produce white, red and fortified wines as well as sacramental wine. ... from the Sevenhill Cellars web page – history Canon 50D ; Sigma 18-200mm OS 3 frame HDR/tone mapped – so to gain the range of subtle colours in a low light situation
