The Changing Seasons – June
I took my new camera out today to take some photos for this month’s Changing Seasons series. This series was initiated in January by a fellow blogger, Cardinal Guzman from Oslo, and has people from all over the world participating. A few weeks ago we had a very chilly start to Winter, but this weekend was almost […]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Broken
For this week’s theme of Broken I’ve decided to feature a photo I took in Hong Kong of some workmen on a roof. For me, men in hard hats, whether they’re on a building site or the street, seem to be fixing something (even though they’re often constructing something new). In this case it isn’t clear what […]
The Changing Seasons – May
I finally managed to find time to get into the city very early this morning to take some shots for this month’s Changing Seasons series. This photo challenge, initiated by blogging friend Cardinal Guzman, is about photographing our city each month to illustrate how it changes over the year. You can view my previous posts here for […]
Shanghai spring
I’ve just returned from a week in Shanghai. I’d not been to China prior to this trip and had been told that Shanghai was a good place to start for a first time visitor to this very large and intriguing country. Getting around Shanghai is quite easy. Taxis are cheap – around $40AUD from the […]
Macau
Throw together some old Portugal, contemporary China, old and new Vegas, a white Brooklyn bridge and you’ve got Macau. This eclectic region of China, an hour’s ferry ride from Hong Kong, attracts hundreds if not thousands of tourists each day, many attracted to the family friendly packages offered by the casinos. I’d read about Macau […]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Motion
I’ve just returned from a week in Shanghai, a city that is in constant Motion, even in places where you’d least expect to see much happening. From early in the morning until late into the night the beautiful parks fill with people looking for an escape from the traffic and noise of the city. They chat […]
24 hours in Hong Kong
It’s no secret that Hong Kong is famous for high-end shopping, but as a first time visitor I was blown away by just how many designer shops there actually are. I’d expected all of the well-known brands to be here, but most of them have three stores, and big ones at that. Thankfully I’m not […]
The Changing Seasons – April
The months are flying by so quickly. It’s already time for the April update of The Changing Seasons photo challenge. This challenge, initiated by blogging friend Cardinal Guzman, requires us take photos of a part of our city each month to illustrate the changes that take place over the year. To date I’ve taken shots […]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Blur
Blur is the theme for this week’s challenge and I suspect, like most photographers I have many blurry photos to choose from. I decided on this particular shot as it gives me a chance to write a little about ‘White Night’ – now a huge attraction on Melbourne’s event calendar. Melbourne’s White Night was inspired by […]
The Changing Seasons – March
It’s Changing Seasons time again – where did that month go? This is challenge set by blogging friend Cardinal Guzman from Oslo to capture the changing seasons each month someone in your home town. I’ve chosen to shoot around the Southbank/Federation Square/Flinder St Station precinct. There are links to the January and February posts at the bottom […]
