If at first you don't succeed... change the plan not the goal.

Dead tree still has so much life

Just as alive in colour

Gloriously gothic. Had a word with the ghost who cleared the tourists for my photo.

Imagine the heady days when folks would frequent the Lake with parasols, champagne and tea sandwiches to take in the sun and swim in the mirror lake.

A Tuscan sunset is everything they say it is. Book that flight. Organise that pet sitter. Go experience this beauty.

Calm seas are the perfect floor for dancing light

Ah... Tuscan sunlight. A colour all of its own. Magical.

Emerging from the Metro, you look up and catch sight of this iconic monument.

In black and white it evokes a wintry feeling... the summer haze appears as mist...

It really was this colour. Mesmerising. Nature's entertainment.

Black and white to highlight the cloud depth

High reflection at Lake Daylesford

It's closed. Still creepy.

Late night driving ... rain ... lights ...

They may look pretty but they burst eardrums

Tree-veins reach out against the backdrop of a clear sky. Alive and full of ancient mysteries.

Canine? Gargoyle? Frenchman?

Neuf said.

Simultaneously calm and savage

The bay is calm and these swans appear at home on the lake-like water. Beautiful and graceful they glide effortlessly ... like lovers on a romantic beach escape. A surreal sight if not slightly voyeuristic if we anthropomorphise them.

The water is a mirror. Narcissus would definitely have drowned here.

This courtyard is from the 12th Century and its symmetry was gloriously calming. Fortunately the clear blue skies captured the illusion of a mirror.

She's a sweet nightmare

Winter allows the trees to flaunt their intricate branches. Against grey skies and fog, a lone parakeet appears to huddle.

The moon was visible in the middle of the day, and it had an eerie quality.

These beauties never fail to let my imagination sail into the dreamy skies of clouds and lucid dreaming of endless possibilities...

The uniformity of wineries

Frazetta-esque Skies. Optimistic and ominous all at once, conjuring innumerable adventures for this little boat ...

Such an achingly beautiful city; the architecture is stunning. Bring extra film rolls, USB sticks, SD cards, whatever you use; bring double. Everywhere you look is a photo opportunity. Look down streets and alleys where everyday Parisian's live to catch a slightly incongruous glimpse of ET...

Exercise in Texture

Quick snap from moving vehicle

The bridge. In black and white. Nothing fancy. Then again, neither is Sydney.

Model: common seagull Would definitely work with him again

Oh, Mother Nature, where is your modesty? That cloud pattern ... that halo ...
