Ye Olde Photo of Circular Quay
A view of Circular Quay with two ferries and Harbour Bridge in the background, treated to look like an old photo.
The Road Goes Ever On
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.
Stare Me Down
This bush turkey was intensely curious about me and my camera and wasn’t afraid to venture really close and personal. Taken on a 50mm lens.
The Face in the Stone
If you have a good imagination, you will find a face staring back at you (helps if you enjoy Picasso). Taken at the Mueller Track at Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden.
Northbridge Baths
This is a secluded netted bathing area complete with a small beach along the Middle Harbour foreshore. I love how the wide angle perspective exaggerates the curves in the perspective view of the bath.
Into the dungeon
Modern day carparks can be quite scary places to navigate. This one seems to promise dangers as well as opportunities.
Sit Down Men and Wear Armani
The University of Sydney motto “Sidere Mens Eadem Mutato” roughly translates from Latin as “Though the stars may be different, all remain the same”, which is an allusion to the hope that the university is as good as Cambridge or Oxford even though it is located in the Southern Hemisphere. When I was a student, we used to jokingly paraphrase it as “Sit down men and eat potato.” Here the university motto is juxtaposed with an advertisement for Emporio Armani at Martin Place in Sydney.
Look – Self Portrait
A shot of me taking a photo of the Dobell Memorial Sculpture at the intersection of Pitt and Spring streets in Sydney, with a pedestrian crossing with a “Look” sign reflected by the mirror-like finish of the sculpture.
White Tree of Gondor
In the Lord of the Rings, the White Tree of Gondor is located next to the White Tower of Ecthelion and symbolises the realm of Gondor and the motif of it’s flag. This tree is located on Regimental Square in Sydney and this perspective is taken from Angel Place.
Guardian of the Galaxy
This dog is exploring the shores of Berrys Bay, and looks like the lord and commander of all that she surveys.
Flat Rock Gully
We started on Wilksch’s Walk, named in honour of local resident Eric Wilksch for his efforts in lobbying Council to retain bushland in Flat Rock Gully. This takes us to Tunk’s Park and Cammeray Bridge.
North Willoughby Heritage Plaque walk
This is a tour through various Civic Heritage Commemorative Plaques that have been installed in order to commemorate the heritage of Willoughby.
The Churches of Roseville
Roseville has 4 churches that I know about – St Andrews, St. Barnabas, the Uniting Church and Luke’s Presbyterian.
Ferndale Park
Ferndale Park is a long and narrow 9.8 hectare remnant bushland reserve that is surrounded by residential properties, located within the Lane Cove River catchment, Chatswood.
Beauchamp Park
Beauchamp Park is our local park, situated in the upper park of the Scotts Creek sub-catchment.
Harold Reid Reserve
The Harold Reid reserve consists of a sandstone hill called The Sugarloaf located on a headland, sandwiched between Crag Cove and Castle Cove and facing into Sugarloaf Bay and then onto Middle Harbour.
Down the Street
This is a quick walk down the street to the industrial area close to Roseville Chase.
