There is definitely something in the third warning image which harks back to the good old Roadrunner cartoons…

Jingemia Cave – Watheroo National Park

Water gauges on the edge of Lake Monger reflect the recent rains.

Perth from the Esplanade.

A very relaxed pelican floats gently upstream through the creek behind Toogoom, QLD.

Toogoom, where I spent a lot of my last week and a bit, is still a sleepy little coastal hamlet where dropping a line is the highest priority.  That said, the every encroaching ‘seachange’ is but a housing estate away.

Another taste of the Bendigo streetscape.
Alas I’m going to be sans intertrons for the next week and a bit as I take a bit of a break.  I’ll be back to continue the post a day quest from the first week in May.

Anyone who’s been paying attention to this site will know that I’m a pretty big fan of signs and how we use simplistic images to convey powerful messages.  This image in particular is one of those examples and just happens to be one of my favourite signs in recent times.  Simple, straight to the point.

Warren River National Park.

After a three day ‘let’s rebuild the computer again outage’ I’m back!

The accuracy of this sign at Bennion Beach is exceptional.

One the purest and simplest joys I take from photography is being able to control the amount of light that the medium (be it film or CCD) absorbs in order to dictate how the scene is represented.  As technology advances, there’s more and more ways of ensuring the ‘perfect’ photo.  For mine, though, it’s about illustrating the mood of the scene as I felt it in the image that I choose to represent that feeling.

Taken on the same evening as the shots over the last week, the mood of this image is in stark contrast to those, yet, it’s the same beach, same time of day, just a different approach and different set of rules for the light.

And that’s where the magic comes in!
