I've been meaning to take some pictures of these bulbs. I love the geometric stringy effect and the light and shade and the shapes.

In between the rain showers, it was nice to get some afternoon shots of the locals.

Caught Canola fever yesterday! Nice stone shed in Mt Duneed and plenty of the yellow stuff! Yes. Colour's a bit overemphasised but I think my 'heart' saw it that way :-)

Pleasant stroll along the cliffs between Juc and Spring Creek. Always a pleasure.

Beautiful day walking up and down the Erskine River in Wellington boots today. Imagine the birdsong, the sound of the rippling rapids, the density of the bush, the blue sky, the smell of the soil. Enjoy the images.

Recently back from a cycle trip in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. Here are a few shots of one tiny part of the three week trip. They were preparing for the dragon boat races the next day. Everyone was there. The floating market was quite active but the widening of local roads means more trucks so the river is less used. Note the 'floating' pineapples as they transfer from farmer to retailer.. Video to come.

Here's a short video of some monochrome (Black and white in this case) shots from a recent trip to Europe. I tried to target shapes, patterns and 'balance' over traditional "Look where I've been" shots. Let me know if you like any of them. Share it around if you like :-) https://youtu.be/R2kNOF9Om7c I have some preferences. I'll let you know later.

A trip to Paris, Scotland, Amsterdam, Pisa (overnight), Albania (cycle tour), Cassis (Calanque National Park), Lyon and back to Paris. Some shots taken in bl...

Pleasant day in Aix-en-Provence yesterday. Damp in the morning but it got sunnier. Cezanne’s workshop is under renovation. Mont Sainte Victoire is in the same place as I left it 10 years ago. The old city walls have led to some strange little buildings.
Today was a relaxing morning with some heavy rain and thunder which also cleared away. A lovely opportunity for a quick trot up the Cap de Canaille cliffs overlooking Cassis. Churchill painted them when he stayed in Cassis.
Simple dinner tonight then I’m watching the French play the Dutchies in Euro2024 with an 8.6%beer in hand. Such much good life 😀.
