Pine forests can show the cycle of life as well. One tree falls, becomes covered in lichens and moss. Then, it gradually decomposes, providing in its death, life and nourishment for surrounding ferns and pines. / Location: The Blue Mountains in NSW Australia.

While walking through this pine forest in the Blue Mountains, a mist swept in. Off in the distance, I could just make out a small hut. Could this give me shelter from the damp cold? Was anyone living there? If so, who – and why? What mysteries were about to unfold -or to remain?

The final image in my Mists of Avalon series...I have taken some artistic licence and imagination to create the final resting place for the Holy Grail. If you look closely you will see that the dragon is guarding the long sought after chalice known as the Holy Grail – a Knight’s ultimate quest. Dragons are known for hoarding their treasure and what better treasure to guard than the dragon’s nemesis – the Knight!! A collaboration with George, thank you so much for letting me use a version of your image…Pine Forest Mists.

One of our native grass trees photographed at the Mt Annan Botanic Gardens in the Southern Highlands. This 400 hectare arm of the Sydbey Royal Botanic Gardens displays a collection of remarkable and unique plants which make up the fascinating flora of our continent, including many rare and endangered species not previously cultivated. It features an endangered species garden, a woodland conservation area, massed displays of paper daisies, and a Seedbank to support plant conservation…not to mention a huge array of birdlife. / /

Another “opportunity” shot, taken while driving home through the backroads. The sun was about to set, so I stopped and waited for it to “do something”!

Scheyville National Park to the NW of Sydney, is the site of an old Army camp, used to house migrants after WW2. Conditions were basic, but a real home for the thousands of displaced persons who passed through there, having survived the ravages of the war in Europe. Some of our old family friends lived in this camp… This powerboard is on one of the old and now dilapidated wooden huts which may have served as a “common room” in years gone by. / /

Dormant bare branches. Leaves holding on for dear life, Ignore coming death.

The Inn was opened in 1836 in St.Albans, to the NW of Sydney NSW Australia. / It stands on the banks of the Macdonald River, which flows into the mighty Hawkesbury. Less than 50 years after settlement by the English, Inns (or Pubs as we call them here) were springing up in the footsteps of the explorers. Shows where the priorities lay…and still do today! ;) For many buildings, I find the use of minimal Poster Edges in my lowly PSE3 / enhances the texture of the stonework.

This is the way of the future, folks! With all the nonsense going on about emission trading and carbon footprints, the King Canute Institute of Climatic Change and Other Earthly Phenomena (KCICCOEP) recently made the following decree: 1) All living things including humans, exude and expell the dreaded CO2, as well as Methane, which is flamable and combustible, and other noxious gases. 2) Trees, through photosynthesis and other complex reactions, absorb CO2 and emit Oxygen, a gas which supports combustion and is necessary for life. 3) In future, all cars are to be powered by using the oxygen emitted by trees, blended with the methane produced by its occupants. 4) All living animals, including humans, will henceforth be required to wear special masks which will absorb CO2. Suitable ones can be found at your Army Surplus Store. 5) All living animals, including humans, will henceforth have special plumbing installed in their nether regions to collect methane. This will be stored in a suitable pressure vessel carried on the back, then further plumbed in to the fuel injection system in their vehicles. 6) The size of the pressure vessel will vary depending on countries of origin and their diets. Those cultures rich in dietary traditions of curries, eggs, baked beans, cabbage and the like will require tanks of at least 9kg capacity. 7) These measures will ensure that the dreaded CO2 will be eliminated from the atmosphere and the ice caps will stop melting. Pay no attention to what the Sun is doing – this is merely an Inconvenient Distraction… Now, hang on a bit…if we ban CO2, then what are the trees going to use to produce Oxygen??? Hmmm…we may have to re-think our strategies and go back to study some elementary Biology instead of relying on voodoo science to frighten the population and justify our taking drastic measures to ruin the economy. 8) For your information, a prototype of the vehicle used at the KCICCOEP to research its theories has been put on display outside our laboratories. Some forward progress is expected by the year 2020…... Having read this far, have a look at the article by David Evans, which gives a balanced and more accurate view of the Carbon debate – sorry – debacle. Please click here to read. Thanks to Maximus for putting this article up as a Journal Entry in his Gallery.

Tulip time in Bowral (Southern Highlands of NSW Australia) – September 2008.

Global Warming? Yeah… no worries! We just have to….. Global Financial Crisis? Yeah… well they just need to….. Our State’s finances falling in a hole? Yeah… all they need is…. You name any problem, personal – or on a global scale – and I reckon that these three old blokes – with their combined wisdom and common sense – / could come up with a solution for it. Couldn’t possibly do any worse than the current hopeless self-interested lot! Standing on the end of the Kiama wharf on a sunny Spring afternoon can do wonders for your sense of perspective!

Highly Commended: Hawkesbury District Agricultural Association Show, May 2009 Wandering through the Organic Garden section of the Netherby Homestead in Fagan Park, I came across this amazing flower of the Passionfruit. On it, a bee was gathering pollen and drinking the nectar. Now, looking at the flower, who would have set out to design one with special pollen covered pads which ensure that bees get covered with it as they circulate around the flower? Truly, one of the wonders of Creation! Technical Stuff: Nikon D80, 18-200mm VR lens @ 200mm, hand held. Program, ISO 200, 1/200sec@f5.6, Pattern metering, Auto Exp & WB.

Taken in the gardens of the charming Jellore Cottage, in the town of Berrima. Located in the Southern Highlands of NSW Australia, the town was founded in the 1860s and has become a very popular tourist destination. Technical Stuff: Nikon D80, Sigma 10-20mm lens 10mm, hand held. Program, ISO 320, 1/60 sec f6.3, Pattern metering, Auto Exp & WB. Some processing by PSE3.

Corbett Gardens is one of the features of Bowral – in the Southern Highlands of NSW Australia – which attracts both tourists and locals alike. Winter, and the deciduous trees are bare, but the evergreens and bright flowers still make it a most attractive place to wander through, or sit and relax a while.

Commended Hawkesbury District Agricultural Association Show, May 2009 On the 6th of January 2009, the skies above the South Coast of NSW Australia were streaked with smoke. In the Moreton National Park, between the coastal town of Nowra and the highlands village of Bundanoon, a fire had been burning for several days. Being in an inaccessible area, it posed no threat to property. Wildlife, however, would be suffering the consequences of almost one thousand hectares of natural bushland destroyed. This picture was taken on Gerroa Beach, just North of Nowra, a moment after the sun had set. Technical stuff: Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens, hand held 97mm. Aperture priority, 1/20 sec f22, ISO 200, Pattern metering, Auto Exp & WB.

She egged him on. / “Yes, Dear…” he squarked, with some resignation. / Then, together at last, they flew off into the sunset…. The End. So, that’s how it finishes after 27 chapters of avian antics, eh? A hen-pecked seagull finds a measure of happiness at last! Does this mirror our own lives? Taken on Gerroa Beach on 6th January 2009. Brilliant sunset is courtesy of bushfires in the Moreton National Park, Between Nowra and Bundanoon. Also see my “Smoky Sunset”. Technical stuff: Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 VR lens, hand held 105mm.<br />Aperture priority, 1/320 sec f 22, ISO 200, Pattern metering, Auto Exp & WB

And each of the animals and birds came in two by two… two by two… by two….. “Noah!” shouted his wife. “Are you nodding off to sleep again?! How many pelicans are you letting on board? The whole flamin’ world will be covered with them!” And so, my friends, it came to pass. * * * * * * * * * This prolific passing parade, pleasingly posing placidly paddling pretty pelican pairs, perspicaciously photographed at Greenwell Point, near the mouth of the Shoalhaven River on the south Coast of NSW Australia. This river flows through the town of Nowra (as seen in my “Cambewarra Mountain View”) and its headwaters are “harvested” to supplement the Sydney water supply. Technostuff: Nikon D80, 18-200Nikkor VR lens hand held 105mm. Aperture priority, 1/100 f22, ISO 200, Pattern metering, Auto Exp & WB

This section of the 1830 award winning Colonial Terrace is called “The Doctor’s House”. Also see: WIndsor Terrace for more details. Technostuff: Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 VR lens, hand held 18mm. Aperture Priority, 1/25 sec f16 (oh, all right – the camera was resting on the wall!) ISO 200, Pattern metering, Auto Exp & WB. Then a bit of mucking about in PSE 3 to try and create a sketch effect.

Just air and water. / Tumbling, bubbling and splashing. / Such a happy sound! Taken during a recent visit to the Mt. Annan Botanical Gardens, SW of Sydney NSW Australia.
