These rock carvings ("The Feilai Feng grottoes") have existed in the hillside at Lingyin Temple in HangZhou for almost 1,000 years.

We have here a black and white rendering of a shot taken inside the ancient Trajan's marketplace in Rome. I had trouble trying to capture the raw detail of the structure whilst contrasting it against the sheer size of the marketplace itself, the contrast seemed better in black and white - especially for the foreground. This shot was taken from up in the Dandenong ranges, east of Melbourne. We happened upon some local wildlife who took an interest in us. A nice sunset shot from across St Kilda harbour. Taken from the grounds of Old Parliament House on Australia Day, this is a shot near the Aboriginal tent embassy. The letters paint a very visceral picture at the heart of Aboriginal affairs.

The sky was a brilliant amber/apricot contrasted against the dark brick of the newly built terrace houses. In the western part of Canberra, the sun sets over the Brindabella ranges and Mount Stromlo. On a summer's evening this can produce lovely effects if the timing's right. This photo was taken whilst on a Google Photo Walk back in 2012. It was a brilliant day for photography, and I think this shot really captured the colours of the balloons against the backdrop of nearby Yarralumla. We recently ascended to the top of Mount Stromlo in Canberra's west on a nice day. Although windy, we were treated to excellent regional views. Last year we visited Uriarra Creek which lies to the west of Mount Stromlo at the foothills of the Brindabella Ranges. This nice shot captures my eldest son Jake exploring the riverside.
