Fiume Blyde - Bourke's Luck Potholes
Lungo il percorso del fiume si vedono una serie di "Marmitte dei giganti".
Questo fenomeno di erosione si crea con dei vortici che fanno roteare acqua e sassi.
Con il tempo l'erosione forma delle vere e proprie pentole.
River Blyde - Bourke's Luck Potholes
Along the river you can see a series of "Giants' pots".
This erosion phenomenon is created with vortices that make water and stones rotate.
Over time, erosion forms real pots.

602 Bourke Street Melbourne - aka Bourke Place.
A bit of hand held B&W Architectural "Fine Art" photography.
One of our coveted target birds as we headed into the Outback, driving nine hours west from Brisbane, was Bourke's Parrot. This tiny pastel parrot lives in dry mulga and acacia forests of the interior, where it can be difficult to find. To illustrate this point, I compared the total number of records in eBird for Rainbow Lorikeet (a mighty 1.1 million records at the time I uploaded this photo) to Bourke's Parrot (a paltry 5,300 records). Part of that discrepancy is that there are just fewer birders that make it to the Outback, but part of the difference is the nature of the birds themselves and how easy they are to find. We felt SO fortunate that we, a couple of visiting Americans with a few days to soak in as much of the Outback as we could, contributed to this record total. Bowra Station, Queensland, Australia

Another shot from our pre-Christmas walk around the city to see the Christmas lights. Similar shot to a previous upload from the same location, processed in b&w for a different look.

Melbourne. Red is the luckiest colour in Chinese culture, which suits me because its a great colour to photograph.

Covid Days in Melbourne. There is a popular colloquialism in Melbourne "Busier than Bourke Street". Well Covid put paid to that!!!
Can’t go out to take new photos, so cheerfully revisiting some old ones. One of my favourite places in Melbourne: The Paperback Bookshop, Bourke Street. A rainy spring night in 2012.
