When I first saw this skirt being worn, it was in a seated position not too dissimilar to this.
There is something very special about how full sunray pleated skirts look when seated :-)
मी दार तर सर्व घट्ट बंद ठेवली होती
तरी कसा बर... हा प्रकाशाचा सोनेरी कवडसा आत पडला
स्वप्नांची एक खिडकी उघडीच होती वाटत
काळोख्या निराशेतही आज जगन्यावर पुन्हा सोनेरी जीव जडला!

This has to be my most memorable photo ever as just after capturing this very shot the swan actually raced towards me hissing and trying to attack me! I fell backwards onto the wet grass and busted the belt on my jeans! and when I turned around a group of tourists were in hysterics laughing at me! lol
Best song to describe the picture:
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Black and white impressions from the city.
Captured with my X100's, processed in Aperture with a Kodak Tri-X 400 film.
Strange how i went there thinking GO WIDE ANGLE and the shots i'm happiest with were with the 70 - 200 mm :-)
This magical moment lasts around half an hour then the sun is to high in the sky
This image was taken at Scarborough off the shoreline at Scarborough Harbor at the Northern tip of the Redcliffe Peninsula in Queensland, Australia.
Prior to European occupation (read invasion), this and every part of the land we now call Australia was occupied by what we now call Aboriginal people (See profile for an overview of this history).
INDIGENOUS HISTORY
The area has a rich indigenous history. The Turrbal generally occupied the area north of the Brisbane River. Both groups had closely related languages which are classified as belonging to the larger Yaggera language group.
Under customary law, the history and culture of the Turrbal people cannot be told or used in any other manner, shape or form by non-Turrbal person without permission.. Therefore, I refer anyone interested in the history of this people to the website below for more information.

In nearby Shorncliffe the Ningy-Ningy clan had displaced the Turrbal by the 1850s . Again out of respect for their customary law, I refer anyone interested in the history of this clan to the website below for more information

Of course the experiences of Indigenous – European interactions were not homogenous nor were the attitudes each Indigenous group took towards European ‘settlers’ and visa versa. The overall story was not good for Indigenous people, but simplistic accounts of adversarial conflict and a will to wipe out the Indigenous community are simply false. I recommend reading The Australian People (edited by James Jupp). This account gives a reasonably balanced view from a historians perspective. See the link below to order this book.

Apart from cropping and brightness/contrast adjustments, all of my images are presented as they were when the shutter closed, unless otherwise stated.
Brilliant beams of light this morning, didn't hang around for long.

Again catching up with the storm, I'm now underneath the main updraft area facing west toward a translucent curtain of hail shafts. Most of the hail was rather small (about pea sized) as the storm was beginning to weaken and it was already quite low topped.
