Standing here as the tide came in with my shoes hanging in a tree, the sound of mozzies swarming, crabs coming out to play…. and i thought 'now thats all a bit nice' then the roar of a A380 overhead made it complete 😉 luckily I like aircraft noise I suppose…
photo..tick.
time with nature…tick
interaction with the wildlife…tick.
2018 in full swing.. every year I take a few shots from this location (Kirribilli, NSW), i never get bored of this view, its not very creative (like those puddle reflection images you see from here all the time 🙂 ) but I still love it.
I achieved one goal for the fireworks this year, i got to see the fireworks from both the western side of the bridge and the eastern side, standby for my patent on tele-transportation in 2018 🙂
The fireworks are always interesting but to the fireworks head honcho explosion maker/decider can I make a few suggestions.
1) given that you guys are struggling with the invention of smokeless fireworks can I suggestion rather than a rolling display break it up with a few small intervals, only a few minutes to let the smoke clear a bit 🙂
2) The first sequence of fireworks is the one where you get the best shots because of the smoke issue 🙂 and lets be honest here just about every person watching the big bang has a camera so that a big part of the display 🙂 hence makes sure the first sequence counts, I liked the numbers this year but really they made crap pictures 😉 2014 and 2015 were much better 🙂
3) I note you have taken notice of my suggestion from last year.. but i'll suggest it again.. because.. you can never have too many blue fireworks 🙂 they are awesome in my opinion 🙂
4) feel free to contact me for some consultation 🙂 i'll trade for a awesome vantage point next year 🙂
btw, check out the first picture with the 'top-hat' firework.. now thats pretty damn cool, hats off to you explosion engineers for that one 😉
The last 3 are from the western side of the bridge..
catch you on the other side.
not much in the way of beaches here..

Ale's Stones in southern sweden near Ystad
My favourite park and favourite hill, i dunno how many times I have walked around, ran over and rode over it but it never gets boring.
When your daughter smashes you at everything at the park except for chin ups 😉 and can do a whole bunch of other stuff that I have never done 🙂 yup…. well at least I still having swimming on her 🙂 for now..
Interesting little note, beside the fact that China Southern have something resembling a new aircraft 😉 The Singapore Airlines A380 is a brand spanker, first flight in March this year and delivered to SIA in October, definitely not one of the first A380s delivered to SIA way back 10 years ago…
Not often you see a Pax configured aircraft flying around with no colours. HiFly Malta apparently… cool rego too, 9H-Fox.
Picture number 315 and we finally get a shot with all three looking at the camera..and.. not pulling some kinda face or sticking our legs in the air … nicely done Ladies 🙂
(watch those hands, shes a eye gouger 😉 )
I dunno whether its actually called this, but its the creek that comes from Lake Lilla so its a pretty fair bet that its close 🙂
Alternatively I could call it the V-tree Falls..
