    I went to Sydney for a High School Reunion and I thought while I was in Sydney I couldn't miss out on seeing the Vivid Festival. I have often wanted to see this festival of lights but this is the first time that I was able to. We travelled by train into Circular Quay. I walked around the waterfront with many hundreds of people until I found a nice spot to myself along the edge of the water with a lovely view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I set up my tripod and waited until the colours that I wan

    A beautiful rainbow just on sunrise at Watonga Rocks, at Lighthouse Beach in Port Macquarie, Australia. The rainbow persisted for over an hour, allowing time to wade out into the surf to get the rainbow positioned just right for a photograph. I had to watch for breaking waves behind me while taking photographs to avoid bring dunked and I had to tun for it several times. Happily it all worked out and I captured a great images.

    Title or Location: Portsmouth Dockyard
    The photo was taken at Emsworth, a very picturesque harbour on the south coast of England. The sea was incredibly calm making it like a mirror, and the morning light was soft and warm in colour. I was stood on the harbour wall and framed the shot to include the sunken boat to give it scale and perspective.

    There are a few crows living around my place. Those two became quite tame and stayed in my garden. They always got a few tidbits and as a thank you they gave me little gifts. So I really enjoyed their company.
