The school of forestry.
Location: ///shorts.finger.entry35°18.2301’S, 149°5.70282’E Out for a walk today and came upon this old heritage listed building. The grounds are being meticulously maintained. The building itself is neglected and deserted. Such a shame. This was the Australian Forestry School. Opened in 1927, the building originally comprised two lecture theatres, a library, teaching laboratory and museum. It…

Morning walk, Mt Taylor.
Location: ///vibrated.sieved.demonstrated35°22.5105’S, 149°4.55454’E Morning calf pump up Mount Taylor1. Perhaps some advanced cardio training for the impending temple and noodle bar treks through Kyoto…. Or perhaps a slowly dawning realisation that the imprints I’m leaving on my couch now resemble organic post-middle-aged buttocks potatoes. I’ll run with the noodle bars. Anyway…denial, preparation, whatever. It was…

A light lunch.
This photo is OK I think. I like the descrete pools of light at the tables (although the white on the table foreground is a little blown out) and the gossamer view through the curtain. I’ll give it a six out of ten. No…..I’ll give it a solid seven. … While I am not much…

Winter is coming.
Whilst these trees have not yet lost all their leaves, it will take but one big blow to drop the whole bundle.We have had a spectacular sunny Autumn here in Canberra, but now that is dissolving away and the gob of winter is pushing its way in. Despite my resistance. The smell of wood fires,…

Its all about the framing.
I snapped this picture down at our local supermarket.I would like to tell you that I carefully selected the framing to highlight the juxtaposition of sensual curves and industrial bold blocks of shading. But truth is, I was getting the manual focus situated so I could snap a pidgeon and I accidently pressed the shutter…
