This old net loft or processing plant overlooks the small boat harbour of Rough Bay on Malcolm Island. It appears to still be in use to some extent, where others nearby are definitely beyond use as they are or have collapsed over time. This is a working harbour with a long history of fishing and boat building.

One of the most intriguing textiles we saw being made here are the rugs that are fabricated from old used salmon gill nets - possibly out of this net loft. We were told that currently there are only two industrious ladies on island who make these rugs. They are very beautiful and the one lady who had some in her shop wasn’t sure she was ready to sell them yet as the nets she made them from were over 100 years old. They take hours and hours of time and patience to make she said.

Processing images of galaxies It’s not my favourite, I much rather be processing a nebula but it’s that time of year. I image this back in mid April but I put it to one side to process M57 the Owl nebula which I images afterwards, way more enjoyable.

M101 can be found in the constellation of Ursa Major.

As you might imagine, this started out as a photo of a can of Spam. I digitally created an entirely new front for the can in Photoshop, including the lettering and graphic. To make things extra hard on myself, I positioned the can at an angle and included a reflection.

While working on this image I was reminded of the "Tornado-In-A-Can" weapon from the movie Mystery Men, which may have been a subconscious inspiration for this photo.
