  • Sunset 3/8/2013

    The sun sets Over the ocean But my thoughts are somewhereFar away Took this from my grandparents’ balcony early this evening. The sun was just starting to go down and the colours over the ocean were beautiful. Really like how it came out in the end. Photo and haiqua © CJ Levinson 2013

  • Rainbow from the Rose Garden

    A rainbow Hangs over the ocean, Nature’s beauty On full display This rainbow appeared out of nowhere earlier this afternoon. It had been a bit overcast all day but the clouds weren’t that threatening, so I was quite surprised when the rainbow suddenly appeared over the ocean around 4pm. It only lasted for about ten…

  • Tankers at Twilight

    The ocean shimmers Under the light of the moon While the world goes by I took this photo last night from my grandparents’ balcony. I loved the way the clouds were hanging just above the tankers and how the ocean was reflecting the sky, so I took a quick shot. Came out pretty well. Photo…

  • Dreams

    Burnt alive in a house fire Choked to death in my own bed Overdosing on morphine Shot four times in a robbery gone wrong Drowning in a pool of water Stabbed to death in a fit of jealousy Pushed from a great height Beaten and left for dead in the middle of nowhere And she…

  • In Transit

    I am lost And have no home But I have all I need – Love and my dreams A home is more than Bricks and stone: It is the memories In your heart I took the photos in this post over the course of the last week. All of these photos are from around Caves…

I…

  • Sunday Morning at Coogee Oval

    Just a quick update. One of my photos, “Cricket at Coogee Oval”, won a photo competition last week. I entered it in the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club’s photo competition a little while ago and found out last week that it won first place. There was a small presentation on Sunday morning at Coogee Oval hosted by…

  • The Empty Bench

    I am like This empty bench: Worn, faded, I sit and watch the world turn This is a photo from my archives. I’ve not been able to get much further with my writing or take many photos recently, so I thought I’d take the chance to post this photo in the meantime as it’s one…

  • Across the Paddock

    Dry land Sweltering heat, The perfect fuel For a terrible summer I took this photo just before Christmas, looking out across a small paddock while visiting my uncle’s family with my parents. They live in a small rural community north of Sydney and many of the surrounding towns and suburbs were surrounded by bushfires in the…

  • Summer Sunset

    A summer sunset A moment of pure beauty In an ugly world I took this photo this evening from our balcony, just as the sun began to set. It was a spectacular sunset, with the entire sky seeming to catch fire for many minutes, before gradually fading away. After receiving some upsetting news today, it…
