View from a lookout point on the Yul-yan-man Track. In camera pano.
Earlier this month, I walked with some friends, the Yul-yan-man Track in the Glasshouse Mountains on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. It is a relatively new track near Mt Beerburrum and was a very pleasant way to spend a morning with some rock scrambling and great views of the surrounding area.
This is a five shot bracketed image of a shot I posted previously. However, with this one I processed it through Nik HDR Efex but with only a subtle HDR effect applied. I think it gives it a bit more ooomph!!! Peter
A bunch of my fellow Sydney photo crew have spent some time down on the south coast recently and seeing their great images has inspired me to revisit some of mine that I took when I was in the area on one of our previous road trips.
Plus I realised that it's been nearly a month since I last uploaded something :(
This is a picture of Glasshouse Rocks, a famous landmark in the Narooma area. It has to be one of the most popular, yet most difficult to find coastal attractions I've been to!
The award-winning Sheffield Winter Garden.
The Winter Garden is one of the largest temperate glasshouses built in the UK during the last hundred years and the largest urban glasshouse anywhere in Europe. It is part of the £120 m Heart of the City regeneration project that has created the new Peace Gardens and the Millennium Galleries.
The building is one of the largest Glue Laminate or "Glulam" buildings in the UK, made by forming and gluing strips of timber into specific shapes. The wood used is Larch, derived from sustainable forests, and requires no preservatives or coatings. This reduces the use of solvents and also avoids the use of chemicals that could kill the plants.
For more information see: www.sheffield.gov.uk/out--about/city-centre/city-centre-p... and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_Winter_Gardens.
One of a few Sheffield snapshots I took whilst briefly passing through my hometown last week - more to follow.
See my other Sheffield photos.
These forms are not based directly on specific plants or animals despite their dynamic but ambiguous forms seeming very full of life. The shapes’ dynamism comes from the natural process of blowing glass and interspersing them in the garden gives the appearance that they are themselves fantastical plants.

This glasshouse
Already cracked
You break me apart
Helpless to stop it
Should I build again?
