Second Valley views

These shots were taken at Second Valley on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia. It's a great spot for fishing, swimming or just clambering over rocks and admiring the views.

St Sampson's, Cornwall, UK

After a gap of some 40 years, I revisited the UK in 2009 for 6 weeks. It was wonderful to renew friendships and be shown charming sights (& sites) such as St Sampson's in Golant, Cornwall. The ceiling I found particularly fascinating and the stained glass window above the altar is beautiful .

Mushroom or Toadstool ?

Housed quite happily among the soursobs and other weeds, this funghi caught my attention  - but I wasn't game to take it home to cook!!

Tasmania's Russell Falls

This shot of the Russell Falls in Tasmania was taken during a wonderful holiday in 2006. The falls became Tasmania's first nature reserve  in 1885 and are located in the Mount Field National Park (in the island's south-west) which comprises a remarkably diverse 16,265 hectares (40,191 acres).  A "must see" for every visitor to the picturesque island of Tasmania!

Richmond Bridge reflections

Richmond Bridge, Tasmania.  If you enlarge the image, you will see the name of the then Lieutenant-Governor of Tasmania , Colonel George Arthur (1784-1854) and, if you're familiar with Roman numbering, you'll be able to work out the year showing on the bridge beneath his name.

Richmond, Tasmania

The Richmond Bridge is heritage listed and is located on the original "Convict Trail" some 25 kms north of Tasmania's capital - Hobart - and is the oldest bridge still in use in Australia today.  It was constructed in sandstone by convicts in 1825 and continues to attract many visitors (including artists) to this charming "village".

"Rugged rural mountains.."

This was one of many waterfalls seen during a fascinating journey on the Kuranda Scenic Railway near Cairns in North Queensland.

Crowne Plaza Hotel complex - Melbourne

This is another shot taken within the Crowne Plaza where the spectacular light, sound and water show depicting the four seasons is displayed.  On the right hand side wall of this shot you can see images of palm fronds (see weekend reflections and below for others)

Crowne Plaza complex in Melbourne

This is part of a daily spectacular light, sound & water feature show within the complex which depicts the four seasons. This is just one of the walls on which images are displayed and one of several "fountains" from which differing spouts of water emerge. Captivating!
