As I sit here on this windy, overcast Sunday afternoon my mind wanders back to warmer days filled with sunshine. The last time I was in Europe, my wife and I booked ourselves on a week-long Croatian sailing adventure. While we were on a budget backpacking holiday, the decision to splash out a few extra … More Lost with Louie: A week sailing in Croatia
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
For a history nerd it’s difficult to beat a visit to the ‘eternal city’ of Rome. After spending my university years studying ancient history for no other reason than I just damn well-loved it, I finally achieved a life-long dream when I jetted half way across the globe to Rome. For my first few days in … More Lost with Louie: Rome
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. In a bid to make the most of the remaining warmer weather, I’ve been hitting the beach early … More Capturing the last breath of summer
I hate to start off with a disclaimer but I must reveal that this is another photography based post. So for those of you who do not like photos of nature at its very best, I suggest you click the close icon now… For everyone else, I hope you enjoy my snaps from what was … More New Angles: Seek and You Shall Find
It has been another busy week. I am now two weeks into my new job and there always seems to be something going on every other night. Being so busy is nice but sometimes I need some quiet time and some open space. Open space with no one around keeps my sanity in check. It … More Another Week in Photos
Sydney in the spring is my favourite time of year. The light stretches longer, the nights are still cool while the days are warming. It is a happy time. People are smiling, the smell of barbecued meat is in the air. Weather-wise, this week has been a rip-snorter. A ball-tearer. I’ve been hitting the beach … More Spring in Colour
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
