An ordinary photo reminded me of the
Toyota commercials on television…
…with the aid of Photoshop two images become one
What we think of as ordinary,
a eucalypt flower
looks more than ordinary in isolation.
About twelve months ago I again
visited Point Lonsdale and captured
this image of the lighthouse
from the end of the Pier.
Although it appears an ordinary part
of my previous image,
the colours of the seaweed are
anything but ordinary…
..and the delicate nature of this image
is exquisite.
The juxtaposition of the bluestone pavers
and open drainage system and the very
modern rubbish bins in the alley of a town
that dates back to Victoria’s Gold Rush (1850s).
Breakfast by the sea.
In my hometown, the first settlers
arrived in the area in 1841.
Grandfather Bill arrived as
a soldier settler in the early 1920s.
Many of the early graves are marked
with a simple marker and number.
If only those markers could talk.
