Earth from space } time lapse fly over
Time lapse is the new black these days. Throw in a gazzilion images of Earth from the orbiting International space station, a mix of northern lights, a trippy soundtrack, a few storm cells complete with lightning strikes and a few thousand electricity grids beaming up – and you have a cooler than cool piece of [...]
Just leave it up to the Universe…
Good god, I hear you cry, ‘she’s turning into Oprah!’ Ok, I’ll admit it sounds pretty far out – but let me me explain… Lately I’ve been making plans, changing plans, thinking about plans, then worrying about plans and getting absolutely nowhere! For some reason I’ve been blind to the advice I often dish out [...]
Morning Sun
Welcome to one of the greatest feats of nature, repeated in full stereovision each and every day — the rise of the sun. Midnight blue turns to lighter blue, then brilliant colours magically seep into the sky and it’s as if the earth is somehow being born again. Everything is new.
Photo set } Sunset studies
With the lucky fortune of having a west facing balcony – we get some cracker sunsets shining through our back door. If you asked I couldn’t tell you how many evenings I’ve been out there snapping away, much to the amusement of the neighbours. But that’s the thing about sunsets, you can take as many [...]
Oh rain.
I’m starting to forget what the sun looks like around here, the rain has been falling with no end in sight since I can’t remember when. But instead of getting all gloomy about it, I decided to go on a little treasure hunt to cheer myself up and came back with these….
Rainbows in space
Sometimes I feel like my brain must look like this on the inside… lots of stars, kind of chaotic and a pretty mess! I just love a good nebula, especially the kind so many billions of light years away that probably don’t even exist anymore but were just discovered yesterday. A thought that messes with your [...]
Head in the clouds
If you’re anything like me, you find it hard to get your feet back on the ground after the weekend, especially when it was loads of fun with plenty of sunshine, coffee and happy times. So if you’re not ready to let go of that weekend feeling…. don’t stress, just keep your head in the [...]
Asteroid impacts from afar
When you imagine looking at yourself from a distance you get a sense of objectivity about you – the physical person, stepping outside your mind to momentarily separate from your thoughts. It’s a great little excercise to do if you’re ever feeling caught up in your head or involved in a stressful situation. Perspective. Satellite imagery of [...]
The Cloud Collectors
I am so surprised at myself for not writing about clouds sooner. Apologies to those who’ve been waiting, I really love clouds! Really. To mark the occasion, I’ve created a new category called SkyLife. Clever, I know. Many of my past stories have had awkward homes up until now, but I’m pleased to say they now [...]
{wallpaper} Bright Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea is my FAVOURITE! well, one of my favourites. I see it and dream of Mediterranean summers, South Pacific soirees and sultry Australian eves. I’m on the hunt for a dwarf bougainvillea, the less climbing type, which would be perfect for my apartment balcony – some papery blossoms of my very own. Do let me [...]
Do you realise? We’re floating in space…
Things have been pretty chaotic on this floating rock lately, haven’t they?! It’s hard to write about something that doesn’t seem meaningless or trivial while so many are trying to make sense of their sadness. Perspective does that to you. In the grand scheme of things etc. etc. Thing is, it has always been chaotic [...]
{wallpaper} Peachy sunrise over sea
Last Saturday, the sun showed it’s peachy face ever so briefly. On first arrival to the beach, it looked like a nothing morning and not worth bringing the cam, but low and behold, the ball of light shone through a strip of sky before being swallowed by the greedy purple clouds. Well worth hanging around [...]
Streaky star trails
I’ve never really been one for reading into the stars (unless they’re by ‘Beardy from Hell’ in our local the Beast mag). I am, however, totally fascinated with astronomy and the endless galaxy beyond, and also reckon star trail photography is pretty darn rad. I saw the above image featured on National Geographic and it [...]
{photo set} Aerial
I am fascinated with planes – you? Whenever I fly, no matter how mundane the trip, I’m like a giddy kid at the check-in counter, I skip down the accordion boarding tunnel to my window seat (carefully chosen online the day before) and play with everything in the seat pocket as soon as I sit [...]
Rain, rain and more rain…
Is it just me or are other Sydneysiders worried that the sun has packed up and moved to another universe? Was it something we said? If you arrived here any time in the last week expecting blue skies, chances are you’ve booked a ticket outta here….. explains the empty bus this morning. Ah well, has [...]
