When John Batman (who set out from Launceston, Van Diemen's Land) first set eyes on this location on the banks of the Yarra River, as it joined what was to be called Port Phillip Bay, he is said to have remarked, "This will be the place for a village."
And that village has grown and grown and grown ever since 1835. Melbourne now has a population of 5 million people and at current growth rates will overtake Sydney as Australia's largest city within a decade.
Here we see the skyline of the city as the Spirit of Tasmania II approaches Port Melbourne. I wanted to get as wide a shot as possible without a panorama. Perhaps the most striking thing in this skyline is the large number of building cranes. Melbourne truly is a city under 24 hour construction. The sun here is striking the buildings on the foreshore whilst the CBD is somewhat shaded.
One final little bonus. Can you see that speck in the left-hand sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a helicopter (I'll tag the photo so you won't miss it). Of course, this shot is best seen enlarged.
When this guy came out of the burrow he was actually facing toward the open field behind him, so I stopped looking and in an instant he turned and took on an entirely different demeanor, gave me this look which i thought was a really ticked off look, there behavior is amazing, there antics and the ability to do this is remarkable, anyway have a great day and thank you for the visit.
when I drove with my bicycle just for the sake of riding my bike I came across this sunset view. I stood on a car parking area, possible the car park with the most scenic view!

My dear, dear flowers...oh how I have been missing you. I was at the greenhouse hoping the amaryllis' would be in bloom but most of the hibiscus, African daisies and birds of paradise had emerged....almost as nice. It felt great to be taking some images of flowers.
When Edwin Lascelles started building Harewood House in 1759 he wanted nothing but the best for his new home. He employed the finest craftsmen of the time: York-born architect John Carr, fashionable interior designer Robert Adam, England’s greatest furniture maker Thomas Chippendale and visionary landscape gardener Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.
When the weather turned bad, my better half and I decided to take a still life photo right on the farm. She was responsible for the composition and I have to say she did a great job. I'm thrilled with how the still life photo turned out. The composition with the cup and jug sets a calm, rustic tone. In the foreground, the three red eggs of a maran hen add a rich, earthy colour that contrasts nicely with the delicate white feather next to them. On the left, the bouquet of goutweed adds a touch of nature's wild charm. All of this is set on a worn wooden worktable and a slate plate, with the weathered patina of an old farmhouse door providing a nostalgic backdrop. This scene perfectly captures the simple, timeless beauty of country life.

When it started to snow the day before, this morning I couldn't resist to go up early and take some shots of the beautiful landscape.
This winter was the coldest one for me in my life (not literally), but this view shows that hope doesn't have to be lost, for the beauty of life will give strength and hope for a brighter future. And the sun will always show up again.
Just for the record: it was around -17 degrees... ;)

El reflejo de una vida, no es más que la mirada de la infancia ...

Por todos los que luchan para que esa infancia no se quede ciega y autista.
When approaching this majestic auditorium, I was immediately captivated by the purity of its lines. My intention was to transcend mere architectural documentation to reveal the poetic essence of this structure. By isolating this particular curve and working in black and white, I sought to create a tension between the immensity of the structure and the delicacy of its form. The deliberately minimalist composition allows the eye to focus on the dialogue between shadow and light, transforming this architectural feat into an almost celestial abstraction. I waited for the moment when natural light would perfectly sculpt this bright line on the building's surface, creating a dramatic contrast that elevates the sensuality of the curve.
Those special moments in life, when you can't suppress the joyous smile emerging from your inner while talking to a strange person reflecting brightness on you. <3

While dodging spots of rain, I managed to nab this shot of a Lake State Railway SD50-2 parked in Walbridge Yard. Wish I could've gotten closer.
When I was reviewing my photographs, I noticed some of the butterflies in the Huntsville Botanical Garden, Huntsville, Alabama (Madison County) had a beautiful blue sheen. I was pleased that I captured a few good images of the Blue Common Buckeye. 2017
