Blue Hour – Darwin Harbor

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

Stepping on money

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 ;-)

National Museum of Australia

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

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

Spindlar flyr i Australien

Spindlar flyr

I Australien är det översvämning och nu flyr tusentals spindlar undan vattenmassorna. Det är en sorts vargspindel som försöker gömma sej och dessa har vävt enorma nät runt om i staden i Wagga Wagga som ligger i New South Wales i Australien. Men även 8 000 invånare i New South Wales har flytt vattenmassorna.

Aussie abstract # 4

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

Australian Open

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!).

Melbourne

Wine Men of Gotham er en super frugtbombe

Scammell’s Lookout

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?!

Kangaroos

In my post about “Scale in photography” I promised you more Austalian animals….

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
