Time and energy has not been available for me to photograph new motives for Scott Thomas’ latest assignment, “Blue Hour”.
But recently I found this photo from March last year.
We were in Darwin, Northern Territory, our final destination after 6 weeks of travel in Australia. The climate here is tropical. This warm and lovely evening we were sitting on the
Adelaide, South Australia, must be a a wealthy city. Here you step on other people’s money while you walk around town spending your own

This is my last post from “Down Under” for a while.
Time to have a look at things here around me in Denmark
The National Museum of Australia in Canberra is an an overwhelming experience.
Therefore I have chosen not to focus on the content of the museum. I would only encourage everyone to visit Australia and Canberra to experience this museum – and the city’s other museums – such as the National Gallery of Australia.
My photos are instead of the unique architecture of the museum buildings
Canberra - National Gallery of Australia.
When I visited this excellent art museum in January 2011, I only managed to take this photo in the museum – before I was made aware, that photography was not allowed there.
I hope the museum will forgive me, that I bring this photo! Maybe forgiveness
Central Canberra – viewing over Lake Burley Griffin to Parliament House, which is dug into Capital Hill, its roof covered with grass and topped by an 81 m high flagpole with a double-decker-sized flag.
In front of this is the white building: Old Parliament House, now a Museum of Australian Democracy.
Travelling along the Australian Great Ocean Road in Febuary 2011 – I visited the stunning cliff coast east of Melbourne – around Cape Bridgewater, Victoria:
In Port Adelaide, South Australia, we studied the local bottlenose dolphins and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere on the harbor and in the town.

You probably know of my fascination with Australian Gum Trees…..
I found many great artworks among these trees!
Captured in Febuary 2011, Adelaide, Australia.
An Aboriginal Indigenous Australian musician played the didgeridoo.
He stands beside a stunning work of art – consisting of two large, shiny balls on top of each other.

Captured in January 2011.
Like in the photo in my previous post, Aussie abstract # 3, Mother Nature has been giving a helping hand with the design of this work: From one of Australia’s many fires.
Bushfires in Australia can be both harmful – and useful. Australia’s indigenous people used controlled bushfires to take care of the landscape.
In dry years the uncontrolled bushfires are a

January 30, 2010 I published my first post here on this blog. Actually I totally forgot the 2 year anniversary of my blog here recently!
My last post “Danish winter landscape” – was my post number 200…..!
And today i can see, that I now I have also passed 20,000 views on
These days we have Brrrrrrrrrrrr-COLD temperatures and snow – and winter has in has the very highest degree arrived to Denmark.
I hope that I one the next few days may have the opportunity to shoot some pictures from the COLD winter here…..
Until that:
More memories from last winter – which was long and very cold here. — While I was enjoying summer in Australia!:

These days the tennis tournament, Australian Open, is played in Melbourne.
I was in Australia last year at this time – and followed the tournament – on TV!
Australian Open 2011: Novak Djokovic is defeating Andy Murray in the men’s finals last year:
I followed the match – and enjoyed an Australian beer – which was tasty, but very expensive (even compared to Denmark!).
Bark of trees can create beautiful images. This is captured in Australia in January 2011.
I think it’s a gum tree.
In this post there are none of my photos (my first post without a photo!).
This post marks the end of a series of entries from Denmark. And the beginning of a series of entries from my trip last year to Australia.
Before I move on to Australia, I will give my contribution to Scott Thomas’ latest Assignment “Rule of Thirds” - If you want to participate too, you must make your contribution before Wednesday, January 18, 2012.
Today I will give
Here are some of my best photos from the past year. And at the same time this is my contribution to Scott Thomas’ latest assignment “Best photos from 2011.” I have not had much energy for this these days (read my last post and you know why), and for the same reason, all photos here have been shown on this blog earlier, please click on the links to read more about the photos.
Here is one more shot of the fascinating Australian Gum trees or Eucaluptus. 700 species can be found there of that tree. Amazing how the bark is loose on this species….

I will be back with many more travel photos later, but my next posts will be a “Danish Summer Review” series…..
I love Australia!

En bonde fra Texas drar til Australia på ferie. Der møter han en australsk bonde og slår av en prat med han. Den australske bonden viser de store, vidstrakte åkrene med hvete og texaneren sier:
-Såpass..men hos oss er åkrene minst tre ganger så store!
Dem går en liten tur rundt og den australske bonden viser kvegflokken sin, og texaneren kommenterer:
-Disse er store, men våre dyr har horn som er minst dobbelt så store som deres!
Så plutselig under samtalen om kveg, så
Leaving Kosciuszko National Park via B400 through the Murray Valley towards Albury I passed this landscape:
Driving B400 through the Murray Valley towards Albury I photographed this Aussie chap in a small town:
Not far from Geehi, NSW, Ausralia, where we met all the kangaroos, you will find Scammell’s Lookout, with some breathtaking mountain views.
I have picked two different photos from this place. I couldn’t choose between them, so I publish both of them.
Now you have the choice!
Which one do you prefer – and why?!
In my post about “Scale in photography” I promised you more Austalian animals….
This is Geehi at Swampy Plain River, NSW, Australia:
What a beautiful and peaceful place.
And this is the scene, where I met what I regard as the most typical of the Australian animals. The kangaroo!
First, we discovered a few………
And they were not afraid, as we very excited
In my my earlier posts Mt. Kosciuszko and Kosciuszko National Park I introduced gum trees – or Eucalyptus – , the most common tree species in Australia.
Here is detail I loved of one of the trees there:
In recent times I have been reasonably busy with anything other than blogging – I started a new job in June (I will tell more about this later 
) and have just been on two weeks holiday by the West-coast of Jutland (many of you will know I love spending much time there – and some new photos from there will also likely soon show up here – in between more travel photos!).
