Bankstown

I visit Bankstown pretty frequently now that my Nan is in a nursing home out that way. I love being the only Aussie wondering this street (aptly named Saigon Place) and having coffee in the cafes and checking out the grocery shops. I love all the different fruits in the Asian stores and love buying heaps of cheap Asian greens. The colours and textures are fascinating.

Melbourne Street Art

I love Melbourne and I was lucky enough to head there for a weekend to take some shots around and about the place. I LOVED the graffiti in the alleyways even though it was a little hard to shoot in the pouring rain! Such an eclectic (and at times raunchy) mix of images…I hope you enjoy.

A Bus Ride With A Twist

A few weeks ago I went along with an amateur photography group I am a part of to take photos from the top deck of the city sightseeing bus- the double-decker red one, for those who live in Sydney and have seen it. It was an interesting day because the bus also had commentary on Sydney’s history- stuff I didn’t know, like the Coca-Cola sign at Kings Cross is heritage listed! It was incredibly tricky taking photos from the bus with all the movement and trying to get my camera through the safety bars, but it was really interesting to see the city from above pavement level.

I really love shapes, design and texture so really enjoyed taking shots of buildings with all their angles and glass and colour.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend ox

The Hunter Valley

Happy New Year! I hope you have all had a great start to 2012 and have some great things planned for the year. It was great to take a bit of a break over the summer, but it is good to be back blogging again.

I thought I would kick off 2012 with photos from the Hunter Valley. I was very pleasantly surprised to be taken to the Hunter Valley just after Christmas. I had never been before and enjoyed ever minute of it. What a beautiful part of the world. I bought some stunning wines and cheeses and would rate it as one of the nicest days I have had. What more could you ask for- great company, great wine, great food and great views :-)
