When you're so high up, you can see the curvature of the world. From the top of Mount Wellington, looking down on Hobart (image left).

Foreground cuts off to ground level, far, far below. Hobart City is a city of ants nestled next to the bay. The horizon is curved, blanketed with a layer of cloud. Foreground slopes downwards, then cuts off to ground level, far, far below. Looking to the right of Hobart, where the bay meets the sea. The horizon is curved, bordering the sea and a beautiful blue sky. Spots of clouds drift along the horizon.

I ran out of space in the last post to include this gem of an image—a little game of hide-and-seek with a Red-necked Wallaby at Wineglass Bay, Tasmania.

A close encounter with a Red-necked Wallaby at Wineglass Bay! Judging by how comfortably close it was to people, I'd assume people feed the animals.

From the top of a mountain - gasping from the hike - this was our view of Wineglass Bay in Tasmania. The hike up and down to Wineglass Bay was worth it.

Mountains surround a wineglass-shaped bay. A sandy beach curves almost perfectly around the top of the wineglass

Another bird picture. I captured this little blue Superb Fairywren at Port Arthur (Tasmania), just outside the Hospital.

Almost seven years ago now, I got to explore the Marakoopa Cave. It was fascinating and our guide was funny. He'd turn the torch off and let us belt out our favourite songs in the pitch dark.

Many candlestick-like stalactites hang from the cave roof. The centre stalactite touches a large stalagmite coming up from the floor. The Cave entrance, looking out into the forest. A wall of stalactites

Behold, some ducklings! And a white duck! My favourite of these three pictures is the duckling amidst the ripples. It's beautiful.

In the same area as the Turbo Chook from my previous post, I grabbed this shot of the train tracks.

I managed to capture this clear shot of the Tasmanian Nativehen or ‘turbo chook’ while on my road trip from Devonport to Hobart.

The Tasman Bridge at night. A magnificent view of Hobart city in Tasmania and its nightlife from the Eastern side of the city.

Tasman Bridge all lit up at night. Speckles of city lights in the background. Lampposts and cars light up the foreground.

Cradle Mountain Part Two! I really loved the shore captured in this photo—the sun on the pebbles and the lake's ripples.

Cradle Mountain across the horizon, stretching from left to right. Within its hold is the lake. In the foreground, the lake's shore is visible. Clear water over a pebble beach.

Cradle Mountain! A magnificent mountain in Tasmania. I couldn't pick a favourite between this picture and another one. This photo shows a vapour trail from a plane to the peak of Cradle Mountain.

Cradle Mountain spread across the horizon, almost as if with arms out for a hug. Within its hold is a lake. A vapour trail from a plane streaks across the light blue sky and touches the mountain's peak.

I am obsessed with sun rays in photos and was experimenting to capture my own.
This was captured just to the right of the tessellated pavement in Tasmania.

The tessellated pavement in Tasmania.
I like how the water caught in it creates this mirror of the sky and almost blends in with the ocean.

Tessellated pavement in Tasmania. Filled with water creating a mirror effect of the blue sky.

Grey Fantail at Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. I wonder why one is a darker shade of plumage than the other...

Three adult swamphens and two chicks. One adult is laying down while the other two seem to be kissing (touching beak to beak). Cute baby swamphen! Swamphen chick giving me the side eye

Let's start with an old photo, but a favourite.

A Tasmanian bumblebee sitting on top of a flower. This was taken at the Tasmanian botanical gardens in 2020.
