Time to take a break! (Monkey Relaxing) 2008-05-16 14:31:00 "Time to stop 'monkeying' around!"Monkey taking a breakI caught this monkey taking a break at the Dubbo (Western Plains) Zoo last year. It seems an appropriate photo for today's post, as I've just finished a hectic week of playing at the Eisteddfod (along with younger siblings who were in other sections).One of the pieces I played in this year's Eisteddfod was Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", Opus

Winter Morning Sunrise - Sky Watch Friday 2008-05-29 16:55:00 "Welcome to Winter!"Sunrise
on a cold, clear morningSky Watch Friday
We're really into Winter here in Australia. The sun isn't rising now until about 6:20am, which means that I'll often get up when it's still dark. This is great for capturing sunrises, although it's not too conducive to getting out of bed!Another benefit of capturing sunrises during Winter is that the atmosphere is usually very cle Read more:Morning

I particularly like the "peach" colour of the sky here - this picture is the type which I like for a desktop background. How do you like the colours in this picture?

Mountain Waterfall 2008-07-02 18:49:00 "Fountain of Beauty"MountainWaterfall
For those of you who commented on my last post, your guesses were all very close, but none of you managed to get it exactly right. The "Guess What" picture (right) was actually a close up of moss growing on a wet rock. What some of you thought was sky is actually the water flowing in the background of the picture.

I took this photo during World Youth Day, on the night of the opening Mass. This is basically the view I had while trying to move through the throngs of pilgrims crowding the exit points. The colourful beanies are not just for show - it was quite cold that night! As soon as the opening Mass had finished, people were crowding around e

I'm back from Sydney now, where I have been on holiday during World Youth Day for a few weeks. And what a time it's been! World Youth Day 2008 was definitely the most memorable experience of my life. The whole week was a time of great joy and faith in Sydney, and the entire world.

This blog's had so many WYD photos recently that you could be forgiven for thinking it's no longer a "nature photography" blog! But never fear, today I re-introduce the old theme again.
This photo was taken on my not-so-recent holiday to Goomburra. I was quite surprised at the way the water turned out - there is a very distinct blue-ish tinge to
