Absence of scale

One of my favourite shots from a recent trip to the coast. I always enjoy looking at images which have no significant sense of scale. They engage the mind. This is the outflow from a storm water drain. Who knew they could be so subtle. The flow of water varied and every now and then found an obstacle in the ridges of sand.

A variation on the theme below. Converted to a toned image.

A walk in the wet

Just felt like a wander outside today. Weather has been pretty wintery of late but the wind has dropped and there's a light drizzle. Can't really identify this little fellow (Eastern Spinebill perhaps) who was focused on the insect population. He sat still long enough for me to take this shot.

Back burning scenery

I'd forgotten that some back there was a burn off to create a fire break in Leura. It was only on one side of the road. This rocky outcrop contains interesting rock formation/colouration on the open side. I've already posted photos of those. The burnt off area provides good b&w photo ops. One resulting feature off the burn off is the partially burnt trunks of trees which turn orange at the base. The fifth colour image in this group shows how it looked before the burn off.
