Inside the “Riddling Hall” at Domaine Chandon, Yarra Valley – Vic. / Riddling is the method used by hand to rotate each sparkling wine bottle – a quater turn at a time – to gradually slide the yeast lees (decomposing yeast cells) into the bottle neck, ready to be disgorged, dosaged & sealed with either a traditional cork or the modern equivalent – a crown seal. The job is called riddling and the person who does the job is “The Riddler”. Insert Batman jokes here ….. DOMAINE CHANDON is open daily for wine tastings, and guided tours are conducted three times per day at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm. Do yourself a favour and try their Sparkling Pinot Noir Shiraz! FEATURED IN THE CANON DSLR GROUP November ‘08. / Shot with a Canon 400D w/ 17-85 IS Canon lens.
I took this shot on Bell Island, if you look closely at the base of the cliff you can see a natural tunnel that has been bored through the rock by the water and out to the other side. The bravest and most daring of kayakers venture into these tunnels to explore. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / /

Dancing Dragon in Chinese New Year’s parade
:) / On wings of thunder / Honor bound / Search me out, I drum the sound / Twist and turn in the night / Dragon come, my guiding light. / Protector, guardian, friend not foe / Come to me, see my sigil glow. / Strong and true this friendship charm / I beckon thee, keep me from harm. / Around and about your magick swirls / Come to me / Your wings unfurled. ~ © 2000 Bill Wescott | all rights reserved noree-stock.deviantart.com / intano-stock.deviantart.com / rivendell-photostock.deviantart.com

Star of the Sea by Karin Taylor is a card taken from an original painting on canvas textured paper using mixed media, ink, pastel, acrylic and charcoal. From the Beach Series Here we have a spunky mermaid with a guitar slung over her back, lazing about on the deck of her timber boat…....taking some time off on this occasion, from luring sailors and ships to her watery lair…... there is something of the Madonna about her… hence the name ‘Star of the Sea’
Beyond the vast wastelands of Nimrods Lair / A journey which we all must take / Lies an oasis shore, distant and beautiful / Where desires unfold into a million / Scattered fragments of brilliant cascading stars. Come hither then with me vain love / To where our hearts will never more / Be apart, as now they wander far and wide. / Let us drink in glimpses of our souls / Unfathomable wishes of eternity.

I saw this old tower standing in the middle of the endless polders from miles away. It looks very mysterious in this delapitated state. especialy the carved heads near the roof make it look rather creepy. It used to be an old windmill, puming water out of the low lying polders into the nearby canal.

‘Kurdimurka’ (local Aboriginal Australian folklore) – a spiritual snake which coils itself around Lake Eyre, South Australia. The local Aborigines believe that entering Lake Eyre will disturb the snake and lead to unfortunate consequences. Curdimurka, South Australia is situated along the Old Ghan Track near Lake Eyre. Long ago abandoned, these days it is the site of the annual Curdimurka Ball. /
