  • 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

  • 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

  • Sunset Surfers

    A common site on the surf beaches of Australia. Surfers line up in the last of the afternoon sun, waiting for a perfect wave. This photo was taken during our visit to Coffs Harbour back in July. read more

  • Alone in the Bush

    We're lucky in South East Queensland to be surrounded by rainforests with some great walking tracks. This was taken at the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve near Maleny in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. read more

  • Aqua Luna Hong Kong

    A feature of our short time in Hong Kong was the nightly sight of the Aqua Luna sailing across Victoria Harbour. This hand-crafted, traditional Chinese junk is a popular option for a pleasure cruise across the harbour. read more

  • London - Old and New

    When we visited London last year the Shard had just been completed. The juxtaposition of the ancient Tower of London and the Shard demonstrates how the London landscape and skyline is forever changing. read more

  • Maleny Sunset

    Sunset over Maleny in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. read more

  • Ascending Eiffel

    Another pic from last year's weekend in Paris. The lift cars ascending the Eiffel Tower. read more

  • House on the Hill

    When you gaze across the Blackall Range in South East Queensland you see the odd house dotted about half way up a mountain. It makes me wonder who would live in such an isolated location. It can't be easy if you need to nip to the shops for a pint of milk! read more

  • Longleat Weathered Lake House

    This is a photograph taken while exploring the grounds of Longleat House and Safari Park during our week with the family in England last year. I doubt that this is in any brochure for Longleat but I quite like that old battered shed look. I think someone might actually live in there. read more

  • Montville Nights

    Montville and Maleny in the Blackall Range of South East Queensland are popular among tourists hitting the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. We visited both a couple of weeks ago. This is Montville - 400m above sea level. Enough distance away from the Sunshine Coast that you can see the fully majesty of … read more

  • Ettamogah Pub

    We pass the Ettamogah Pub every time we travel up to the Sunshine Coast but last week was the first time we actually stopped their for a drink. It bills itself as the most photographed pub in the world. read more

  • London After The Rain

    Another pic from last year's London visit. That brief moment after the rain has stopped and the sun is starting to peak through the clouds is great for photography. 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

  • 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

  • Wild and Craggy

    We visited Coffs Harbour in northern New South Wales back in July. The sun was shining but the wind was blustering, creating some awesome conditions. read more

  • Paris - Ile de la Cité

    Another shot from our Paris visit last year. Ile de la Cité is the epicentre of Paris, both historically and geographically. Most notably it is home to the Notre Dame Cathedral.  read more
