I had an idea whilst perusing my photography uploaded to Flickr throughout 2008: Upload 1 photograph from each month of 2008 from our own photo-gallery's upon Flickr.

Capturing Sunsets on Kangaroo Island
About two weeks ago we went to Kangaroo Island for a three-day holiday. Although it rained 99 percent of the time (thereby preventing me from taking my camera out of the house), I managed to capture the sunset on the return journey upon the SEALINK Ferry back to Cape Jervis. Thanks to flickr and careful... Continue Reading →
Earth Hour Adelaide
In 2007, 2.2 million people and 2,100 businesses around Sydney (Australia) turned off their lights for Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for a year. Originating in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour has now... Continue Reading →

Being an ardent anti-smoker, and a photographer of all things that "get on my bloody nerves", I took the time to compile a message that not only asked for a solution, but... Continue Reading →

Putting Out a Bushfire in our Street!
My four day weekend was only meant to be for the U2 Concert at the AAMI Stadium - but today took a turn for the worse. Arriving home late this afternoon, we spotted white smoke drifting up the valley. Oh no, we thought, somewhere lower down the hill a fire had been deliberately started. Thinking... Continue Reading →
Twenty Years Later
After waiting twenty years for their return, today I purchased GOLD tickets to see Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam in Adelaide on November 16 2006 at AAMI Stadium is the greatest band on the planet: U2! Yes, I stood line for three hours on my day-off-work. Making 150 fruitless phone-calls whilst waiting in line... Continue Reading →
