The Faces of Change.
Vivid 2024, here is one of the projections onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylons, if you want to keep away from the chaos that is Circular Quay, Kirribilli presents a very nice place to view it all 🙂 Keep an eye out for a puddle of water to get some reflections 😉 “This group of climate change warriors from the Torres Strait Islands face the imminent threat of becoming some of the world’s first climate refugees due to rising sea levels. Each member of the TS8 is represented in Tori-Jay’s surreal hand alongside their totem — Great Blue Heron, Dugong, Sea Birds, and Crocodile — as the sea starts to rise and swallow them.”

I got over my addiction to chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts. I won’t lie, it was a rocky road 🙂

and back in 2018 for comparsion

Light of our life.
Well there has certainly been some epic Aurora Australis images over the weekend, i’m only mildly jealous 😉 (slight understatement) however it was also Mothers day and we had our very own special light in our life that we had to celebrate 😉
A short Autumn bushwalk in the rain with child units 🙂 Found a nice tree with some cool autumn colours which looked nice. With Sarah Joy

They all fly.

Curracurrong Creek Falls. RNP.

Night vs Day.
…. and the rainbow rock.

Pandanus Storm Cloud.

It’s alittle bit wet out there.
yeah yeah, she’ll be right, that 100mm they are forecasting wont come thru until mid morning.. nup, it rained pretty much the whole morning and not that little sprinkling style either. Like the rain that flows down into your boots and fills them up… I may need to revise the wet weather clothing, waterproof boots are great except when they fill up from the ankle 😉
Nonetheless, walking thru a flooded coast track in the royal national park was still fun and got to see first hand where all that water goes, in this case/spot it makes these cool waterfalls as it flows off the rock shelf.
It was time to go home after this one, when you have to wring out your microfibre cloth before trying to dry your lens is a good sign its probably too wet 🙂
4 shot panorama.

Royal National Park – Curra Brook and Curracurrong Creek
The first set of waterfalls on the right are the exit of Curracurrong Creek, the one in the distance is Curra Brook
Taken from Eagle (aka turtle) rock. I had the whole place to my self, no fair weather selfie takers this day 🙂 Big swell too, could feel those wave pounding the cliff.

How do you fix a broken geologist? With some rock-solid advice.
So many gold rock puns, so little time.
Burramoko Ridge aka Hanging Rock, this place is pretty cool, like a lot of walks in the mountains its a walk thru shrub which ends up opening into an amazing vista upon a rather large cliff. The precarious-ness of the spot is not really apparent (or appreciated) in the dark or until you actually see the spot you are standing on from a lower down or valley side perspective. Whilst it was certainly a fizzer of a sunrise, the enjoyment of the ride out there and just being in a place as special as this was worth that…an epic sunrise woulda been nice tho.
This shot (stitched pano) is well… More

Lake George Windmill…
thats where all the water has come from right ?
I actually really like this shot and the composition, not often the key elements literally just fall into the right spots in a frame 🙂
