In war movies underground bunkers
are depicted with oodles
of room move around.
These images of the Gibraltar Bunker,
near Pozieres (Somme Battlefields)
in France…
…clearly show the opening are barely wide enough for one person to walk along
without hitting each wall.

I had packed my gear away,
was heading for my car…
…when this rainbow appeared.
I barely had time to pull a camera
out of my bag and get off a few shots
before time was up and
my surprise rainbow disappeared.

This year we had planned another African Safari, in June.
However, our sighting the zebra crossing…
…the leopard sleeping…
…lion cubs at play…
…or the pride at rest is no longer on our 2020 agenda.
I just hope everything is back to normal in 2021.
In 2016 we travelled to the northern hemisphere
where we discovered black lion statues.
We decided that the lions above were
nearly as interesting as their cousins
in previous photos, particularly as we had
been reading books in which they featured.
This lion in a rock was a bonus
which neither of us had heard.
In 2018 we discovered these lions guarding a bridge
which is an entrance to a park named
after the16th Earl of Derby
on the North American continent, in a west coast city,
in a country which had not fought
a war of independence.
In 2017 while visiting the
Western Front Battlefields
of World War I…
…I came upon two more lions guarding this Gate.
These lions, gifted to Australia after World War I,
were temporarily returned for
World War I Centenary Clebrations.
I was lucky to capture these images as the lions
were being returned to Canberra in November 2017.
***
The word lion/s and some nearby text in Google
will find the location if I have been too vague. 🙂

Found this shed in the Moorabool Valley.
My original image.
After some editing.
Second edit.
Finally, full Black and White.
All just for fun.

A-Photo-a-Week-Challenge-Peaceful-Place

One of the most peaceful places
I can think of…
…is driving through the rain forests
about an hour’s drive from Geelong.
However, a closer and equally peaceful place
is on the shores of Corio Bay
watching the sun rise.
Whether you are after some
blue hour images or…
…just want to greet the sun as it wakes…
…the only thing likely to disturb you is the
gentle slapping of water
against Griffin Gully Jetty…
…or as wavelets pass along the many boats
moored nearby.
Of course there are regular walkers, joggers…
…and occasionally other photographers
out to capture, for future enjoyment,
the scene of the day.

To begin with…
…some…
…regular…
…glasses.
In Amsterdam we watched a glassblower…
…at work.
The finished product was far
better than the photo.
