Kurilpa Crossing
This is a shot of the Kurilpa Bridge over the Brisbane River - connecting South Brisbane to the CBD. It was opened in 2011 and is the world's largest hybrid tensegrity bridge, apparently. I was lucky to get the bridge to myself for a brief moment to take this shot. It's a favourite crossing for … read more

Mooloolaba Bliss
This week was school half-term so we took the week off and drove up to the Sunshine Coast, spending a couple of nights in Malaney followed by a couple of nights in Mooloolaba. We chose the wrong time to go hiking in the mountains around Malaney - it was far too hot for hiking. Hence the relief when … read more

A New Week
A new week - a new set of possibilities. Like most people I'm not normally a fan of Mondays. This week however, Lauren's on school holidays so we're off on another mini road trip. Not far this time - just up around the Sunshine Coast mixing it up between a bit of hiking in the Glasshouse Mountains … read more

Bridge over the Thames
Westminster Bridge is probably one of the most photographed bridges in the world. The bridge itself is unremarkable compared to what's in the background. This is another shot from our London visit last year. read more

Bus to the City
There's a lot going off down at South Bank in Brisbane this time of year due to the Brisbane Festival.

Brisbane Santos City of Lights
The Santos City of Lights show has become a staple event of the annual Brisbane Festival. A barge in the middle of the Brisbane River displays the main event and when you're directly in front of the barge it's easy to miss all the other lasers projecting from the buildings across the river. read more

Crystal Shower Falls
In July we went on a mini road-trip to the Coffs Coast in New South Wales, where we visited Coffs Harbour and then headed inland up into the mountains and rainforests. The road between Coffs Harbour and the inland university town of Armidale is known as 'Waterfall Way', the name gives it away but I … read more

Skating into the Sunset
A little bit of long exposure magic and the warm(ish) choppy seas of Moreton Bay can be made to look like an iced-over lake. This photograph was taken adjacent to the boat ramp at Cleveland Point. read more

Venice Late Night Shopping
Looking through my Venice pics again I don't know why I never noticed this one before. I remember now that I wanted to try and capture the way the streets are beatifully lit by the shop lights filtering out onto the pavements. read more

Zipping Around Cleveland Point
As normal, it was busy up at Cleveland Point this Sunday. The beautiful weather and the fact that it was Father's Day here in Australia was enough to bring out even more tourists and locals to this popular spot. You couldn't swing a cat for photographers taking shots of the sunset. By the time it … read more

Paris in Style
This is one of my favourite photos from the Paris part of last year's trip. I was admiring the autumn foliage when I spotted this soft-top coming around Place de la Concorde. read more
