Driving through the snow-capped mountains of Scotland, when I had to heave over to one side to capture this.

I've been putting up quite a few river, stream, and waterfall shots lately. So, I decided I should add this different kind of river.
This is a shot from the ever popular 12th Ave bridge in Seattle. I normally shoot from further over, but scooted over to get the oncoming I-90 traffic as well. I kinda like this new view. Well, new to me. I'm sure it's still been done a million times. :)
If you drive north from Jokulsarlon on Iceland's Highway One, this is the sight that greets you on the left. Something out of LOTR.

This is an image I have wanted to attempt for a number of years now. It is strangely adjacent to a major highway and a challenge to achieve. However, this time it appeared possible to go for it. In the past we have always been busily racing home from an outing and the timing was always wrong with a car full of family.
Now, I was on my own and the highway was not too busy. Part of the challenge is just stopping because the highway shoulder is barely wide enough. Cars are whizzing by at 120K. However, the conditions were right to grab this shot and this is the result.

From the Midland Highway, somewhere near Tunbridge, Tasmania.
I took quite a few shots here of the hillside with some great cloud formations at this location. This shot was me attempting to get the lighting right, with the intention of cropping the bottom third out of the image (metering seemed to lock into the sky resulting in horribly under-exposed foreground detail, even with compensation with metering), but the juxtaposition between the road and the barren plains and hill worked for me.

Reminded me of this song from the TV show, "Then Came Bronson" in the 70's.
Going down that long lonesome highway
Bound for the mountains and the plains
Sure ain't nothing here gonna tie me
And I got some friends I'd like to see
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
Yes I'm going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
Believe or not, I set up my tripod in the middle of this road and took a few selfies here. There was only one car came by and that was it. You can see the lane divider is not that straight.

So I attended the AC DC 'Power Up' concert at the Sydney (Accor) Olympic Stadium, at Homebush in western Sydney, last Friday 21st November, 2025, and then again on Monday, 25th November, 2025.
It was VERY loud but amazingly energetic. My two daughters were NOT at all impressed, arguing that Taylor Swift is far better and more popular. "Well," I argued back, "let's see who has sold more tickets, and which tickets sold the fastest?" So we looked at the Ticketek website and guess what? AC DC destroyed Taylor Swift for sales!!! "OMG," declared Miss 18, "there must be SO many old people in Sydney." See what I live with.
A mobile phone photograph of dubious quality, lol.
Processed, to some extent, in Adobe Lightroom.
There's a small cafe on the outskirts of town
I'll be there when the sun goes down
Where the roadside bends
And it twists and turns
Every new generation
And I'll be praying to my higher self
Don't let me down, keep my feet on the ground
