This is Waimea Canyon, on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii. It was taken from a flat spot on the top of a ridge, about 1/3 of the way down the Kukui Trail. We turned around at that point, because of weather concerns.
There was a rainstorm coming up the canyon as I stood there taking pictures of it. It makes for a rather dramatic change in light from left to right. Within 20 minutes, there was fog and rain aplenty.
This is a cropped version of what started as a 12 image panorama; about 7 images worth of data are represented here. The pictures were taken at about a 40mm focal length, which should give you an idea of the scale of the area. If you're looking at the full size version, the little white dot you can see against the really dark part of the hills is a helicopter.
It was processed in Linux with autopanosift, hugin, panotools, and enblend. Here is a good tutorial for the whole process.

Took some time out today to see a public dissection of a Giant Squid at the Museum of Victoria. The squid was caught by commercial fishermen off the coast of Portland in Victoria, May 26, 2008. Recognising it was an unusual find they put the specimen on ice and contacted the Department of Primary Industries (I assume this because some of the first images on the boat I see are credit to Paul McCoy of DPI.)
The shots you see following are what I recorded in a dimly lit auditorium in the Science and Life Gallery. Later on, closer shots where allowed under better lighting conditions.
The dissection was undertaken by Dr Mark Norman (not pictured) Deputy Head of Science (Marine Zoology) and a team of scientists (find) at the Museum of Victoria. Dr Mark is a bit of a Squid nerd and a pretty good public speaker.

The plate on the microwave was a gift from Mrs Albina Marcelgia. She had a stroke, and as part of her rehabilitation she learnt how to decorate these plates. She gave me this for Christmas one year. She always remembers me at Christmas with cards and gifts, since I created the entry on her in Bright Sparcs, as part of the project I did on the history of the Bureau of Meteorology back in 2001. To my great shame I didn't get in touch with her this Christmas to thank her for her card. I must.
Some of the best years of my life was spent here & it was a very nostalgic stroll back on campus for me...

Sculpture by Richard Goodwin, 2004
Winner - The Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award 2004
Prosthetic Apartment B is an installation which creates a building within Werribee Park. As a site-specific work it brings the idea of habitation to a public park. Inscribed with the names of the 13 SIEV (Suspected Illegal Entry Vessel) boats, the work forms a monument to dishonour (much like the honour role boards in secondary schools) and dispossession of refugees.

My twist on the Project 365, this time tracking down the actual numbers to mark the days.
What’s allowed: numbers depicted by figures, ordinals (first, second, 13th etc), roman numerals, words. Photos can be taken at any time, but must have been taken especially for this project.
Restrictions: numbers must be “found” or “natural”, so writing a missing number on a piece of paper and photographing it is not allowed. Times on digital clocks etc may be included, but must have been taken at the actual time (so no setting the time forward or back for convenience).
Added restrictions: pictures must be taken with a 50mm lens, plus use of an extension tube for macro shots. Minimal cropping/enhancement.
Looking north from the loans desk through the doors into the Lending Services staff office. The pamphlet boxes on the right were where course readings were shelved. They are now entirely provided online.
I guess this kind of photo falls into the same category as graffiti - someone else's art, found in the wild and captured.
I don't really care, this is still pretty cool, and just in time for the MSH.

In the dryer, temperate regions of Africa, Baobabs are a tree of myth and legend.
Baobabs are carefully tended by rural peoples and are particularly useful: the hollow trunks of baobabs are used as dwellings and storehouses, traditional medicines are obtained from its bark, leaves, and fruit, its bark can be pounded to produce fibers that are used to make baskets, cloth, hats, mats, nets, rope, and strings (interestingly, after the bark is stripped away, the baobab grows new bark).
Its leaves are cooked and eaten as greens, and are dried for use as a seasoning and a sauce and stew thickener, its fruit, which is rich in vitamin C, calcium, and iron and is called pain de singe or monkey bread, can be roasted, ground, and boiled to make a coffee-substitute; it is also soaked in water to make a refreshing drink, and is used as a flavoring.
