Enlighten Festival, Canberra 2012

Image
I took some photos at the Enlighten Festival last night.  CCW and the kids came along too - we all enjoyed seeing the spectacular lighting, particularly (for me) the National Library and National Gallery. Tonight (second night of the festival) we have heavy rain forecast. Click on the link for  Photos from Enlighten

The Wall

Image
Last night we saw Roger Waters perform 'The Wall' at 'Allphones' Arena in Sydney. Some photos  were taken (excuse the resolution - I used my iPhone).  It was a fantastic show.  We were lucky enough to get seats in the very centre, row 9.   So pretty good seats.  Though true to human nature, even when you are in row 9 and you are about half a mile closer than some other folks seated up in 'the gods' you still feel the need to be closer - like say, row 1, or maybe on stage.  We were a bit spoilt the last time we saw Roger back in 2009(?) when we managed to score seats in row 2 (centre stage).   Anyway, enough blithering. It was an interesting experience.  Having seen Roger perform some of the songs (but not as 'The Wall') only a few years ago the novelty of the event just wasn't there.  Don't get me wrong - it was an absolutely amazing performance (the Stuka crashing into the wall was mad!).  Probably the best sound and visuals I've ever experi

Botanic Gardens walk

Nice wander in the gardens. Not too hot. In fact perfect weather. Nice to be out now my eyes seem to be recovering.

Merry Christmas from Java and his staff

Lyrebird Trail, Tidbinbilla

Image
All of us went for a bushwalk on Sunday along Lyrebird Trail in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve.  It's only a short circuit - about 45 minutes - perfect for Chelsea's little legs.  The weather was great - neither too cold nor hot.  Along the track we walked past a small creek.  It was nice to see running water coming off the range in Summer.  Got to see some nice wildflowers and mess around with taking some High Dynamic (HDR) Range photos.  Click on the photo above to view the album.
