After over 2 years of pain & stress, finally managed to sell my flat (completed today)! We finally found a really nice buyer who didn't mess us around, & a very efficient estate agent who helped it through. Here's to new beginnings! 🎉🥳🍾 (And a photo of sunrise in #Iceland from a few years ago).

A couple of small icebergs on a beach at sunrise. The sun is off to the left and the icebergs look a little golden. The long exposure waves are pink. The sky is peachy. The ice reflects gold on the beach which is littered with small black pebbles.

Sydney’s Bourke Street is festooned with plane trees. This one in Surry Hills may appear to be asleep under the street lights waiting for this bakery just to the right to open, but don’t be fooled. It’s planning for spring when it will burst its seed balls and choke passers by.

Tibby Cotter played 21 test matches for Australia (cricket) between 1904 & 1912. Sadly he was killed in action at Beersheba in WWI while on a mounted charge with the 4th Light Brigade. This abstract is an ICM of the lights on the bridge named after him.

Abstract

Built more than a century ago, the Walsh Bay timber wharves were designed for the bustle of loading and unloading cargo vessels. Now they house wealthy Sydneysiders, arts companies and well heeled businesses. The moon made a nice addition on a rather chilly dawn.

I normally keep humans out of my shots, but on a really brisk Sydney early morning, I pay homage to these two brave blurs who are exiting the surf at the northern end of Bondi Beach.

Bathers

Originally a small rocky outcrop used as an Indigenous fishing ground for millennia, Sydney’s Darling Island was bought for £10 in 1799 as it was spotted as a deep water location and ideal for ship building. In 1834 it was connected to the shore by a stone causeway. Then major slipways.
