In Feb—Mar this year we visited Norway for spectacular landscapes, to experience a different culture and to get a chance of seeing the northern lights.
I am finally getting around to writing about the amazing trip & sharing some of my photos.

Sculptures on an Arctic Shore
There is a black sand beach in Iceland known as Diamond Beach. Ice from the nearby Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon enters the sea through a narrow channel before being washed back onto Diamond Beach. Every visit brings different sculptures.

It's almost 7 years since I visited Wanaka in New Zealand, and photographed #thatWanakaTree at sunrise. The crowd disappeared almost as soon as the sun was up. I hung around & captured this image. I love re-discovering old images and finishing them off for sharing.

A foggy morning provided wonderful scenes at Mulligan's Flat. This image was created the morning after a good evening of astro at the same spot.
Mulligan's is a woodlands sanctuary with beautiful daytime views of Canberra, alongside the flora & fauna.

In
2002 I shot an #underwaterphoto image of a Grey Nurse Shark off Sydney 🇦🇺. I only have a low res scan, and I've just run it through #Topaz #PhotoAI and got a really good (IMHO) upscaled image. What do you think?

My favourite GPS hiking app Gaia GPS has introduced a Light Pollution Map.
It requires a premium subscription, but it is one many who hike already have.

It’s a little on the chilly side in Canberra this morning.
The Aurora Tree on Canberra’s southside is a wonderful plus to catch sight of the Southern Lights when the conditions are right. Though it can sometimes have dozens of people out trying to get a glimpse, I had this spectular scene all to myself on this night.

Snowy Spencers Creek
A picturesque creek off the side of the road to Charlotte’s Pass in the NSW Snowy Mountains. Captured on a dramatic day a couple of years ago, I love the remnants of winter mixed with the freshness of spring.
