The Golden Hour
“Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.” — Horace Mann

Sylvia jetty sunset.
I used to live in Sylvia Curly House, a nurse’s residence at the old Canberra Hospital located out on Acton Peninsula. Looking out of the window of my small room in Sylvia, I had a million-dollar view out over the lake and across to the Brindabella Mountains. It became a nursing tradition to regularly meet…

Sunday lake walk.
Shots from a quiet walk along the paved banks of Lake Burley. Everybody that was nobody was out and about. Cyclists, scooterers, and ambulatory deep-in conversationalists. The cardigan crew, the yoga pants posers, the cafe crowd and the fashion outliers. Sunlight held hint of a wry spring smile. Magpies and seagulls amongst it all. The…

It is a simple brick building with a seating capacity of less than 200 and it usually stages around six productions a year.

Final day at Byron Bay
Last day in Byron Bay before following the temperature gradient south to Canberra where the Maximus Celsius has been around number nine. A frosty reception awaits. And here is a Koan: A student asked Dongshan, “When cold and heat come, how can we avoid them?” Dongshan said, “Why don’t you go to the place where…
