The last week has thrown up some great conditions. While the ocean has finally reached it cold, wintry potential, the days have been warmer and the sun has been shining. I almost found myself starting to like winter…almost. I’ve been experimenting with my camera settings of late and shooting in different modes. It has been … More A visual account of the week gone by
The light of late has been great for shooting. Both dusk and dawn at this time of year in the southern hemisphere offer clear skies, interesting cloud formations and pinky, orange hues. I have been battling the cold mornings and crawling out of bed early for my morning swim. I had great concerns for the … More Exactly where I’m supposed to be
Sometimes I find that my passion for travel (and travel writing) becomes all-consuming. At times, it seems that every waking second is spent researching, planning and dreaming about my next big adventure. One of my weak points, and I admit I do have many, is my inability to live in the present moment. While I … More Living for the ‘Now’ is no easy feat
Daylight savings wrapped up over the Easter weekend here in Australia, and now that I’ve had a couple of weeks to come to terms with the shorter afternoons, I am making the most of the cooler weather and the extra hour in the morning. I am an out-and-out summer person but I do like this … More Simple morning pleasures
It has been a big month in the southern hemisphere as we farewell another summer, reluctantly acknowledge that the days are indeed getting shorter and begin to look at buying a new coat for the colder months ahead.

I’ll keep this post short and sweet. The sun is shining and life is good in Sydney town. I think these photos speak for themselves and as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is my 6,000 word post in pictures. Enjoy! :: Louie :: Coogee Beach, Sydney: 7km from the … More My Week in Colour
My little home suburb of Coogee has come to life over the last week or so as the weather slowly warms up here in the great south land. The sun is rising earlier and setting later, allowing for a pre-work surf and an after-work swim. This morning I decided to get a coffee and take … More Coogee: Spring Light
Weather wise, it has been a mixed bag in Sydney lately. We have had three straight weeks of rain, wind and storms, however the sun has come out to play these last couple of days. You can see the change in people’s faces and everyone seems to have an extra spring in their step. I … More The Week in Photos
The weather is getting cooler and the days shorter here in the Southern Hemisphere. I’m not complaining though. The surf has been good, the ocean temperature is still warm and the mornings are producing some of the best sunrises I have seen all year. I have some ideas floating around my head for a new … More Winter’s Coming and the Sunrises Just Keep On Keeping On.
