Its been over 4 years since I last came to this spot to take some images, I did visit some time ago with the kids and family but not for serious photo taking 😉

I made it all the way to the bottom here at the falls then went to setup my pano bits and realised rather rudely that yes.. that bit i left on my desk at home was still required and that my other parts had not magically grown the ability to support my camera without it. Nonetheless, one must persevere and that I did. This shot is 7 images stitched together to form a vertical pano, it was soo wide i had to clone my toes and tripod out from the bottom of the frame near that big rock. The perspective looks a bit odd because of it, but its growing on me.

Its still pretty dry up there but given the last week of somewhat steady rain, typically a few millimetres each day the falls were at the very least flowing.

Searching for that break.

Coachwood Glen is probably one of my favourite places in the blue mountains, you can be almost guaranteed to have the whole place to your self and find a bunch of weird looking fungi. This particular one reminded me of the children's cartoon 'Octonauts' and the octo-pod , which for those uneducated amoung us, is the octopus shaped mission control centre for the Octonauts.

Don't touch my biscuits 🙂

Reflected.

So apparently we found a new quasars (damn i love that term.. so cool) aka Supermassive black holes this week, its rather large, but what got me thinking was the comment that its eating a sun every 2 days. That reinforces the fact that we, our dinkly little planet over here is nothing but a speck in the very large time tunnel and each of us (and our life) could be compared to a wave washing up on the beach 🙂 ..
thats segways nicely into the following image that is completely unrelated.. but did have a wave in it. 🙂

Happy mothers Day

Try and pronounce that one 🙂 just means Selje Church 🙂

I can't claim all credit for this .. cheeky chops (aka i dont want to sleep Little E) had a hand in this.. some random clicking somehow landed me on this folder with a bunch of unedited pictures

Memories are made everyday, whether they are crap ones or good one is the only real variable i(unless you factor in getting old then forgetfullness can play a part, for the better in some cases) 🙂

Here's hudgee Nudgee, a place of mixed memories, good for photos, bad for mozzies, bad for mud, bad for bare feet.

help Dad edit some pictures (from ages ago before i was born 😉 )

Follow the Light

as i read thru my quarterly Tollway statement it suddenly dawned on me… and lets keep it succinct… as a member of society, no lets be real, as a number in society, i am nothing but a revenue source for corporations and governments each finding new and unique ways to screw me over.. example on point, my good friends at Tollway are one such company, i get charged a fee for them to make an automatic credit card payment, i get charged another fee when its declined cause my card got max'ed out from the going thru 3 toll roads in Sydney in one day, thats enough to max out any card 😉 … then they want to charge me another fee to send out a paper statement….
.. next they will be charging me to use the exit way on the motorway to encourage me to use more toll road 😉

On the days when I catch the train, i get a little extra sparkle knowing that for at least on that day i have avoided paying motorway tolls. 🙂

here's a picture of a happy place and 'my' enlightened path.
(before all you marine savvy peeps jump up and down, that red light over on the right is a fisherman with his red headlamp… not a Nav light 🙂 )

A little background on the image, its a panorama image made from 7 portrait orientation frames, each frame is bracketed (one at 20seconds and one at 5sec) to capture both the bright lights of the town, lookout, nav lights etc and also the less bright sky. The exif for each one is f2.8 iso 5000 @ 14mm
