Really liked this when I looked at it recently for the first time in almost 10 years. So minimal and subtle. Almost like a painting.

Always liked this photo. It was nice to see it again. Always felt it to be rather delicate.

This photo always reminded me of a William Robinson (*) painting, Think I have one his books somewhere.

At low tide, the beach becomes the main road up the eastern side of Fraser Island. A bit further up the road, we will see the Maheno, a beached and rusted out ship wreck. The beach also becomes a landing strip for light tourist planes.

One of my all time Favourite Photos. The arrow like formation provides a strong focal point and there are lots of little details worth looking for if the time is taken to explore the rest of the photo. In particular, the reeds floating on top of the reeds such as the two in the lower left forming an X. Also, love the fact that this photo was taken during the middle of the day, so it did not have the light working for it. Just goes to show that the early morning and late afternoon sun (so often sought after by landscape photographers) is often not needed to get the lighting right for a photo.

A similar photo to this one and motivated by the same thinking.

We spent a week on Fraser Island after Jenny and Jo competed at the 2002 Australian Dragon Boat Nationals on the Gold Coast with composite Dragons Abreast Teams. It was their first Nationals, and a good year and half before Dragons Abreast Sydney was formed. They enjoyed the opportunity to paddle with breast cancer survivors and supporters from all over Australia and they made many friends from the experience.

This has always been one of my FavouritePhotos. The light on the Sand Flats that afternoon was amazing (another photo to come at some stage).
