Lightning over the Lake
A bright streakFlashes across the skyLighting up the nightAnd your eyes We had an amazing, fairly sudden storm this evening. It had been overcast most of the day but the thunder and lightning still seemed to come without warning. Luckily I was nearly home when it started and so I grabbed my camera and tripod…

Summer Sunset

The Lake at Night
In the dark nightThe world looks similarBut different;I walk on I took these photos along the Belmont lakefront last night. It was a lovely clear night and I thought it was a good chance to see how my new camera performed at night as well as to stretch my legs. I used to do quite…

Nature’s prime favourites were the Pelicans;High-fed, long-lived, and sociable and free.~ James Montgomery The weather has been pretty wet and ordinary around Lake Macquarie lately, not the best for taking photos, although given how bad the drought is in NSW I don’t think anyone minds the rain. It was nice today though, sunny with a…
