This is a piece which was suggested quite a while ago by James and now here it is! / and do refer back to: Introducing… My well travelled feet! .
This morning was a gorgeous morning to be up and about…. 5AM and I was wondering the rocks of North Narrabeen in just a T-shirt. Not a cloud in the sky, not a puff of wind, hardly a swell in sight. Not the best conditions for seascape photography, but a lovely morning to be up and about enjoying the Spring weather. Did manage to take this photo of North Narrabeen Rock Pool. Love the old textured planks around the pool.
This is the same red barn as in “barn windows”... / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /
This is the old Westvale Barn… it was built over 100 years ago and was in use until only a few years past. Now it is scheduled for the wrecking ball. / / Canon 400d /

Metal straps hold planks of wood together to form the rudder of a boat. Both the straps and the wood show signs of age and decay. The image has been rotated 90 degrees cloclwise.
The shackled him up with the big ball and chain because of his downright ugly striped shirt. Or maybe because he tried to steal some pirate booty, I dunno. Either way he’s walking the plank.

The Icelandic Harvester. / / When I came across this old vessel moored to the pier my imagination started running wild with scenarios of what life aboard this wooden vessel would have been like. I could almost feel the sineous texture of the ropes as they hung there coated in the ice cold saltwater of the frigid North Atlantic Ocean. I could nearly hear the calls of the sailors as they shouted commands back and forth across her weather beaten decks as the waves crashed down upon her on any one of her numerous voyages. What sights must have been seen as sailors of old lined the rails to peer down at the mysteries of the sea. How many men were lost at sea and how many made it home with wild stories of his adventure aboard the Icelandic Harvester. / / Shot with a Canon 400D and processed in Lightroom 2. / / NautilusBlue / / nominated this image to be showcased in the group Pay It Forward and this is what she had to say… / / Ice Breaker / by Kevin Kroeker / I think it is an outstanding image with great composition ( great leading lines) with lots of drama and the colours are amazing . It shows us the harshness of the climate. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography /
I took this shot of the marina… it was cold, wet and foggy

This bench sat alone… looking over the sea on a cold and dreary morning. The dew and dampness were still upon the wood. / / LARGE VIEW RECOMMENDED / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / Canon 400D… lightroom 2 to process
For some reason this reminds me of a scene from Moby Dick… minus the whale of course. / / I was actually going Cod fishing with some friends for the first time off the Eastern coast of Newfoundland…. just had to bring the camera of course. Those clouds on the horizon kicked up such a fierce wind and it created some very large swells that relieved me of my lunch lol! I actually did see a whale on this trip, about 100 feet from the boat I was in. 60 foot whale vs. 16 foot boat = some good fun… lol! / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / / Canon 400D / / / / / /

Small fishing boat on the beach at Hastings. Probably not going fishing because of the storm approaching! Would you?
/ “The Legacy” is part of the Still Life Collection of Memory Paintings…do you remember long ago before Ikea, and flat pack shelving, fathers would nail up a few odd planks of wood in the shed, and tools were kept there, odd nails, pieces of rope, garden implements and other paraphanalia…long after they have gone the tools remain in memoriam, a tribute to ingenuity, common sense and “making do”... Painted in Watercolour on Saunders Waterford Rough Paper… Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood Ye that through your hearts to-day / Feel the gladness of the May! / What though the radiance which was once so bright / Be now for ever taken from my sight, / Though nothing can bring back the hour / Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; / We will grieve not, rather find / Strength in what remains behind...W. Wordsworth / Still Life with Old Dandelion Stencil andd Terracotta Pots / Still Life with Wellingtons / The Sap Bucket
Summer is rapidly approaching and the old picnic table that has been so long in the family is unclothed, showing the scars of age…peeling layers of paint…we trace the first colours that fathers father painted 60 years ago…remember that? then father painted the table many years later…it was blue or maybe green…then Uncle George…the table came to us then…I remember..it was 1950, the year we married…we wanted to strip the paint, but didn’t have time, so we painted it white…now Lindsay our great granddaughter has the table…she got it on her wedding day ten years ago…she plans to paint it again “Family History” Fictional extract…JZ..

For Rob. Towards the end of the novel, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera writes: “And therein lies the whole of man’s plight. Human time does not turn in a circle; it runs ahead in a straight line. That is why man cannot be happy: happiness is the longing for repetition.” I wondered then when I first read the novel—some 20 years ago, and I wonder today about the relationship(s) (probable and hypothetical) between happiness and repetition.
