Tortured was shot early one morning in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney, Australia. The image is of the trunk of a rather large, old Moreton Bay Fig tree. A secret about the image is revealed in one of the comments.
A late afternoon scene in the Washington Arboretum (Seattle) in October with the white trunks of the birches reflecting brightly among the golden foliage. Canon D60.
Subject / Anzac Bridge, Sydney, Australia. Looking west, as the sun was disappearing below the horizon and the wid-week commuting horde was streaming across the bridge. I left the aeroplane in the image mainly because it was too hard to extract (!!) but I think it adds scale. I mean, the Anzac Bridge pylons (there are only 2) are enormous. Technical Details / Shot taken with Fuji Finepix S1000fd, on auto at zero zoom (33mm). In Photoshop, it was sharpened and cropped. Then the offset was ramped up severely. Brightness and contrast were tweaked, but the major effects achieved were via Poster Edges (to remove the fuzziness of the clump of vertical steel ropes in the lower middle) and Diffuse Glow.

/ Built to celebrate Australia’s Bicentenary (1988), the Bicentennial Conservatory in the Adelaide Botanic Garden is the largest single span conservatory in the southern hemisphere. Designed by South Australian architect Guy Maron, the building is curvilinear in shape, 100 metres long, 47 metres wide and 27 metres high. An elegant steel superstructure supports the 2434 square metres of toughened glass which forms the roof, walls and doors. Its glistening and distinctive shape is a landmark particularly for visitors flying into Adelaide. / The Bicentennial Conservatory houses a display of lowland tropical rainforest plants from northern Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the nearby Pacific Islands. Many of these plants are at risk or endangered in their natural habitats. / A lower walkway winds across the undulating forest floor and an upper walkway takes visitors among the canopy of tropical trees and palms. Both walkways have full wheelchair access. / Daily 10:00am — 4:00pm (5:00pm during daylight saving). / For group bookings please contact (61 8) 8222 9311. / Adults $4.50 / Child/Concession $2.40 / Family $10.40 / (2 adults and accompanying children under 15 years old)

This building is basically all glass on the outside, I loved the reflections in the windows of the neighbouring buildings and city /
Euclid’s 17th definition from ‘The Elements’ states ‘Parallel straight lines are straight lines which, being in the same plane and produced indefinitely in both directions, do not meet one another in either direction – but sometimes, as they approach infinity, the lines get tired and sag a little’. Featured in ‘Just Lines’.

BEST VIEWED LARGE / / / Faced with the challenge of producing a “Lines with three or more colours” abstract submission, I came up with demonstrating, at each 10 degrees of rotation, the movement of a multi-coloured Reuleaux Triangle inside a yellow square container. This remarkable shape is not a circle yet has the same diameter when measured across along any radius. Viewing all 36 positions at once revealed the swept area, almost a perfect square with small rounded corners cutting of the square’s perfect corners. I felt that the resultant wall chart made an interesting pattern yet could inspire analysis and thought. Enjoy! Keith. / CARD: / FRAMED: / POSTER:
