  • Pacific Dawn in Noumea

    This is the first of a few pics I'm posting from our short trip out into the Pacific onboard the P&O cruise liner Pacific Dawn. The engines are running as the ship gets ready to depart Noumea, the capital city of New Caledonia. We only had a few hours in Noumea - enough to take a 'highlights' tour. … read more

  • Brisbane Riverside

    This was taken on a busy Saturday night at the popular Riverside precinct in Brisbane. A little bit of photoshop magic and the people disappear! read more

  • The Passing of Time

    This is another shot taken looking across Somerset Lake. It was one of those days when the earth seemed to be spinning faster than usual causing the clouds to pull on the landscape. read more

  • The Pink Bridge of Brisbane

    Each night Brisbane's iconic Story Bridge is lit up in various colours. Sometimes the colours match a theme, such as green on St Patrick's Day. Not sure what the pink is supposed to represent? read more

  • Sunset on the Bay

    Another shot of sunset over Raby Bay. It may not have the long sweeping beaches of the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast but it does have its own particular beauty. read more

  • Hong Kong Nights

    The lights shine and the streets bustle in the Tsim Sha Tsui district of Hong Kong. read more

  • Changing the Guard

    At Buckingham Palace, the Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place at 11.30 am daily from May to July, and on alternate dates throughout the rest of the year. When we last visited London it was September and we had just managed to finish a tour inside Buckingham Palace in time to catch the end of … read more

  • Swimming Area

    Another shot from last weekend's visit to Lake Wivenhoe and Lake Somerset. Myself and Lauren went for a swim here at Lake Somerset. It's been a long time since I've swam in a lake. I forgot how different it is to swimming in the sea. Besides the obvious (lack of salt), putting your foot down was … read more

  • Lake Somerset Tranquility

    On Saturday we took a drive west of Brisbane to Lake Wivenhoe and Lake Somerset - a main source of Brisbane's drinking water. This shot was taken sitting on the banks of Lake Somerset looking across to the Somerset Dam. Australia is not just about beaches. The diversity in landscapes is … read more

  • After the Storm

    The retreating storm leaves debris on the ground and drama in the sky. This shot was taken a couple of weeks ago from my local park. read more

  • The Pink House on the River

    When I first started working in the Brisbane CBD and Rachelle worked near Bulimba, I used to drop Rach off at work and then catch the CityCat ferry service in from Bulimba getting off at Riverside in the city. It wasn't a bad way to start each day! As the CityCat glides effortlessly down the river … read more

  • Sunken Dreams

    They say a picture paints a thousand words but I've no idea how long this yacht has been capsized off Raby Bay Foreshore Park in Cleveland, or what the circumstances were to cause its demise. read more

  • Parisian Gloom

    Another shot from our short stay in Paris. I took this standing on top of the Notre-Dame Cathedral peering through the cage, casting my eyes over Paris as the clouds and rain bear down. read more

  • Catching Air

    Rachelle took the day off on Friday so we took our new car for a run out to Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast. It was beautiful conditions - hot but a lovely sea breeze which the Kite Surfers took full advantage of. The distinctive Glasshouse Mountains can be seen in the background.  read more

  • Just a Paddle

    Lauren taking a paddle on the Gold Coast last September. The water wasn't quite warm enough at this time for her to brave a swim. read more

  • North Stradbroke Island Bushfires

    For the last few days firefighters have been battling to contain large bush fires on North Stradbroke Island, which is a short hop across the bay from where we live in Cleveland. The gallery above shows the scene as smoke billows from the island. Residents of the island are on standby to evacuate if … read more

    Another shot taken from Kangaroo Point in Brisbane. The last fragments of golden light for the day reflect off the CBD skyscrapers. read more
