Obviously I am working through old photos. I started doing this when covid first landed and I'm still going. I feel quite safe to get out and I have been but now that I've started working through old photos I would like to finish that too.

One of the best kept little stations in NSW,at Borenore via Orange.I doubt that any trains stop here anymore but I might be wrong,so it is surprising how neat it is ,no rubbish,no grafitti,I would say the locals at Borenore take heaps of pride in it

I spotted this bird while exploring the river bank along the Murray River. It was perched, as kingfishers do, on a dead tree stump, and occasionally shifted position to a nearby branch. It seemed to be unphased by my presence, even when I moved quite close to it. It was a pleasure to observe and photograph.

Batemans Bay Road Bridge

A mid twentieth century engineering marvel.

A steel vertical lift truss two-lane bridge which was constructed across the River Clyde in 1956. The centre section (with the control hut) rises to allow ships to pass under the bridge. (2005-05-24).

EDIT 2021:

Time marches on and this old bridge has been demolished and replaced.

Before archiving a folder earlier this year, I found this shot and another that I liked....

Crescent moon setting with the other 2 brightest night planets: Venus (bottom right) and Jupiter top. They were within ~10 degrees wide.

I haven't seen a star burst from the moon before especially as the aperture was only f/11. DPS has a good overview of how to do these. Note that since the 10-22mm lens had 6 blades for its aperture, this meant 6 points to the star. With odd number of blades, you get double the points eg 18 points with my new 16-35mm f/4 lens (9 blades)

There aren't a lot of aspects in Sydney for western/sunsets. I wanted the conjunction to be framed by a foreground and the only one I could find that lined up (thanks TPE) was from Mrs Macquarie's Chair. A fantastic spot and easy to get to but frequently shot.

Taken in Kiama NSW.

This kestrel was perched on the corner of the gutter around our rental when we arrived. Not particularly interested in me fortunately so I was able to get a few shots in before it flew off.

Native to Australia and New Guinea, one of the smallest falcons. Like kestrels elsewhere it does not rely on speed to catch its prey. Instead, it simply perches in an exposed position, but it also has a distinctive technique of hovering over crops and grasslands.

Stephens' Banded Snakes occur in forests along the coast and ranges of eastern NSW and Qld. They are arboreal, generally hiding in hollows or under bark and are most active nocturnally, but are sometimes observed active in the day.
