Whilst on holiday in Romania, I came across this somewhat unique building in the back streets of Bucharest. This tall slender building with glass panels from top to bottom served perfectly as a mirror

Hello, here are some more photographs of sap oozing from a tree trunk that I came across on my walk around Jells Park Lake. The flash that I had set up on my camera helped bring out more colour and texture

A little while ago I decided to go on a macro photography mission around Jells Park Lake, which is only 5 kms from where I live. On my walk I came across a tree that was oozing sap from its bark and down

I placed one of my favourite fruits onto the top of a screw top bottle to see if the resulting photograph would be interesting. With the contrast in colour and of the texture between the bottle and the

Formerly a large gold rush town, Vaughan Springs was once a popular alluvial gold and market gardening area for Chinese miners in the area. Now, it is a scenic picnic, bush walking and camping area run

Much to our chagrin, it was time to start making our way back home to Melbourne. We had a few stops planned along the way, but we also found ourselves taking a few unscheduled detours to view some stunning

After our visit to the Pink Cliffs on the edge of the town of Heathcote, we set about looking for a nice spot to eat a picnic lunch. We found a nice spot and sat down to enjoy our food. Driving a couple

Even though we had passed through Heathcote many times in the past, we were unaware of The Pink Cliffs Geological Reserve, until this visit. It is a remarkable area right on the edge of the township and

Taking the backroads from Lake Eppalock to Heathcote had its rewards, when we crossed a cute little bridge in the middle of nowhere. Built in 1867, it was still in remarkably good condition, so we stopped
