A perfect start to the day’s adventuring. Also perfect weather, a cool morning with no wind, great natural lighting and a cloudless sky. No fancy work on this shot taken with an iPhone 6+ just the natural look, in fact it could stand alone, viewed upside-down, needing a keen eye to Continue Reading

Coley’s Creek
After coming to the end of a vehicular track I decided to get out on foot and explore further. I’m so glad I did, finding this quiet spot with perfect reflections was as close as one can get to a spiritual experience. Would you like to hear some music?

Mystical Meander
It’s the last month of autumn in Melbourne’s water catchment, the summer dust no longer sucks the colour out of the vegetation and the reflections. The dampness in the air filters the light and the creeks and rivers start to flow again. The moss comes back to life and the Continue Reading
