The rickety wooden fence at Barnbougle is a tribute to the old farm that the Lost Farm golf links course used to be. The farmer who owned the land decided at the turn of the millennium to develop the marginal farmland into two of the world's greatest links golf courses. Both The Dunes and Lost Farm are ranked in the top 100 courses in the world according the the US Golf Digest Magazine.
Now that interstate borders have reopened more Australian golf tourists will take advantage of this superb layout. It is to be hoped that international travel will be able to recommence sometime soon.
The image here is an infra red taken on my converted compact camera. It is a black and white with colour toned sky, using the blue stream of the tone curve.
* Thank you to those well-wishers who responded to my "Bookmark" about travelling to visit my father in hospital in Melbourne. I have arrived safely, and will probably be here now for several weeks. Our aim it to get my father home for Christmas.

For Macro Mondays - Hole
I was struggling to come up with a hole for this week, out of time, then this morning I had to burn a CD so decided to use that.
Happy Macro Monday!
To conclude this short series of old Sydney photos, we'll take a look at the restaurant world.
Mr Wong's Cantonese Restaurant is a huge place, with dining facilities on multiple levels. It is designed to reflect two eras in a converted inner city warehouse: Shanghai prior of the invasion of the Japanese and the rise of Communists; and Prohibition era USA. You'll see some photos from the Prohibition Bar, accessible from Mr Wong's via a secret doorway (of course), in my uploaded collage today. merivale.com/venues/mrwong/
We were there for lunch and the food was as spectacular as the setting.
All these photographs today were taken with the natural lighting and handheld by the Panasonic DMC-FS7 compact camera. If you get a chance to purchase one of these lovely little 10MP pocket cameras, in good secondhand condition, I can tell you it will serve you well.
The Red-breasted Nuthatch was a campsite visitor and was busy hiding seeds from a feeder, in the cracks in the bark on some trees. More compact than the larger White-breasted Nuthatch, with a rusty coloured front and black eye stripe, yet still a nimble and agile tree climber.

The city walls in Piran, view from one tower to the other :)
Piran is a town in southwestern Slovenia on the Gulf of Piran on the Adriatic Sea. The town is known for its medieval architecture, with narrow streets and compact houses and it's one of Slovenia's major tourist attractions. Architecture of Piran resembles the Italian Venice, to which it belonged in the past, together with Istria. Most of the buildings, as well as the medieval walls separating the city from the rest of the mainland, also come from this period. In the middle of the town is the Tartini Square, with a monument in memory of Giuseppe Tartini. Nearby are located various important buildings, such as Tartini’s house, first mentioned in 1384 and one of the oldest in town, the Municipal Palace. The area of Piran has been inhabited since ancient times. The name of the town most probably originates from the Greek "pyros", meaning fire, due to ancient lighthouses which were supposed to be on the edge of the marina. From 1283 to 1797, the town became part of the Republic of Venice and then was annexed to the Austrian Empire. In 1954 The town was annexed to Yugoslavia.
City walls - former defensive fortifications erected around the city. The first fortifications were built in the 7th century. Today you can see fortifications from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. Only the 200-meter-long walls with seven gates have survived. The walls are of uneven height because they were built in different periods - this shows how the architecture of defense has changed. This is one of the best viewpoints on the Old Town and the sea.

Mury miejskie w Piranie, widok z jednej wieży na kolejną :)
Piran – miasto w Słowenii, siedziba gminy Piran, położone na skalistym cyplu, jest jednym z najatrakcyjniejszych turystycznie miejsc nad słoweńskim Adriatykiem, słynnym ze ze średniowiecznej architektury z wąskimi uliczkami i zwartą zabudową. Swą architekturą o przypomina włoską Wenecję, do której wraz z Istrią należało w przeszłości. Z tego okresu pochodzi też większość zabudowy, a także średniowieczne mury, oddzielające miasto od reszty lądu. Reprezentacyjny plac Tartiniego powstał pod koniec XIX wieku, po zasypaniu wewnętrznego basenu portowego (1894). Mieści się przy nim ratusz i budynek sądu oraz zachowana z obwarowań brama św. Jerzego. Obszar Piranu był zasiedlony od czasów antycznych, a nazwa miasta wywodzi się od greckiego "pyrá", oznaczającego ognisko, ponieważ na krańcu półwyspu zapalano ogień jako punkt orientacyjny dla statków płynących do portu Koper. W 1283 wraz z wybrzeżem Istrii Piran przeszedł pod władzę Republiki Weneckiej, zaś po upadku potęgi Wenecji (1797) Piran przeszedł pod panowanie Habsburgów, zaś w 1954r. znalazł się w granicach Jugosławii.
Mury miejskie - dawne fortyfikacje obronne wzniesione wokół miasta. Pierwsze umocnienia zbudowano już w VII wieku. To, co można zobaczyć dzisiaj to fortyfikacje z przełomu XV i XVI wieku. Zachowały się jedynie mury o długości 200 metrów z siedmioma bramami. Mury mają nierówną wysokość, bo powstawały w różnych okresach – widać dzięki temu jak zmieniała się architektura obronna. To jeden z najlepszych punktów widokowych na położoną na cyplu starówkę.
#macromondays #vintage
For the great upcoming theme calles #vintage i decided to use an casette tape which lots of us remember. Back in the good old days we used those tapes to listen to our favorite music. And who of us don`t remember it when we had to roll up the mashed up tape by hand ?
The Compact Cassette or Musicassette (MC), also commonly called the tape cassette, cassette tape, audio cassette, or simply tape or cassette, is an analog magnetic tape recording format for audio recording and playback. Invented by Lou Ottens and his team at the Dutch company Philips in 1963, Compact Cassettes come in two forms, either already containing content as a prerecorded cassette (Musicassette), or as a fully recordable "blank" cassette. Both forms have two sides and are reversible by the user. Although other tape cassette formats have also existed - for example the Microcassette - the generic term cassette tape is normally always used to refer to the Compact Cassette because of its ubiquity.

On Beinn a'Chaorainn, Laggan area Scottish Highlands, February some years ago. Canon A620 compact camera.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Pins".
A straightforward photo this week. I decided to focus on the pins of a Compact Flash card reader, It was slightly easier than using my Nikon D200 as a subject where the pins are quite recessed inside the camera. The card reader also has a blue light that illuminates when it is plugged in.
Compact flash cards are the reason I mainly use a lead to connect the camera too my laptop. I had heard stories when I first got my Nikon D70 of the possibility of pins getting bent in the CF card port so to this day I am still in the habit of using a lead.
and arguments. In other words, I want to get married :-)

Made it back! Hello my friends : )
Little story behind this one...
One morning (while on holiday in the Greek island of Crete) I decided to wake very early in hopes of capturing some interesting morning shots.
After shooting a few pre-dawn beach photos, I walked towards an interesting rock-pier, but had to cross some hotel grounds to access it.
When walking past this pool, I glanced back and saw this mirrored reflection of the hotel in the water!
I desperately wanted to capture the moment (but didn't want to spend more than a minute here as I was trying to hurry and reach the rock-pier before sunrise) so I simply laid my camera down upon the edge of the pool and took 2 shots... and this was one of them : )
I was so surprised that this quick shot turned out at all, as it was taken during pre-dawn light and I didn't have time to make fine adjustments before moving on.
The blues you see in the sky (directly over the hotel) quickly changed (by the minute!) after this shot. The glow from the coming sunrise quickly affected it as I walked on towards the pier.
The blueness of the pool water also caught my attention... I think the reflection is very special near the pool ladder & lamp lights : )
This area was beautiful... so of course the title ( Vacation Blues ) has two meanings ; )
This is SOOC (straight out of camera), no cropping or color adjustments either.
That doesn't make it any more special, I simply tried to leave it the way I remembered it that early morning... very soft predawn blues with subtle hints in the sky of the coming glow : )
I thought it turned out pretty well, considering I was in such a hurry to carry on and make it to the next location.
(note: Taken with my Sony HX90V compact)
Thanks guys for taking a moment to have a look
...thought it was time to add more 'blues' to my photostream!
Hope you find something interesting or enjoyable here : )
Truly appreciate your support... wishing you a wonderful day ahead my friends!!!
p.s. Glad to be back!
I will slowly try to catch up with everyone during the coming days...

CRUSH
It's probably not my best, but I think it's good for not doing anything for ~1 week.

There have been quite a few new benches installed at the John F Kennedy arboretum, all this same design; really dark stained wood & just about long enough for 2 people to sit side by side. Perhaps they will be solo benches in the event of another covid type social distancing event? Who knows what the thinking was behind making them so compact & bijou.
Anyway, the colourful forsythia bushes & variety of distant trees caught my eye, so I took a quick iPhone shot HTmT!
Photo 31/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs. Catching up with uploading my 100x as I was (am) way behind. I promise to intersperse some non-bench photos too.
Mourèze le 01 Août 2014. Nous sommes un vendredi.
Fin de journée. Soleil rasant les murs et les toits.
Un village compact et beau. Ombragé à souhait,
ruelles en tout sens.
Et tout autour un chaos paléolithique incroyable.
Pour l'atteindre il faut traverser tant de vignes ...
...
Mourèze August 1 2014.Nous are a Friday.
End of day. Sun hugging the walls and roofs.
A compact and beautiful village. Shaded to perfection,
streets in all directions.
And all around amazing Paleolithic chaos.
To reach it you have to cross many vineyards ...
