My father makes model aeroplanes. He made the first flying Snoopy DogHouse back in the mid 1980's. Dad also made a flying Super Man (where one of my brothers was used to get the shape right!) that was basically 2'-thick foam with 3 wheels for landing and a propeller at the pointy end. To fly,...

Panorama of Adelaide Hills
Eight panorama photographs from today's walk in the Adelaide hills. Be sure to view them upon my flickr gallery and leave comments on them. Your opinion appreciated. All photographs stitched together with AutoStitch.
Afternoon in the Park
Four of my many interesting photographs shot on Sunday afternoon at the Wittunga Botanic Gardens. As you can see, I like the 'macro abstract' shots! Plus one extra showing a panorama of the lake:
Who Purchased this Calendar?
I just wish Redbubble buyers would leave messages when they buy something … because I have no idea who bought this calendar: Was it you? Someone around here bought it from my Redbubble gallery a few nights back, but there is no lead as whom could be the purchaser. I've asked all the likely candidates,... Continue Reading →
Wittunga
A few months back I visited an amazing public garden in the Adelaide hills - Wittunga Botanic Gardens. This park is filled with South African plants that are suited to the South australian climate, so they flower most of the year. Thankfully the rain had abated and the cloud clover was good for overall-light, so... Continue Reading →

I had planned to draw something, but after throwing all the pens onto a brown paper bag, I saw an opportunity... Continue Reading →

This is more than your average group of people. At this stage we have about 30 people turning up, ranging from Amateurs to full-professionals,... Continue Reading →
Find and Photograph an Australian Echidnea
Photographing Australian wildlife is fraught with many interesting problems. Most of our wildlife lives in the bush, an environment that is either burnt to the ground or overgrown to the point of strangulation. Australia also has land covered in tree-stumps from over-zealous farmers who try to live on lands where water accumulates only where plants... Continue Reading →
Wrecked
It is amazing what you can find when you go for a walk in the Adelaide hills. I've only ever seen this car from a distance (from the train), and never realised I could ever get close enough to photograph the wreck. Postscript: I have used the ORTON-plugin with GIMP to give depth to the... Continue Reading →
