Postkiwi Photolog Launched At Wordpress

Monday, January 2nd, 2006

Darren Wright has been pestering me to try out some alternatives to Blogger. My daughter’s been suggesting I start a photo blog. So I’ve gone and done it with a Wordpress photoblog. I’ll be playing around with the format.

The first post at Postkiwi Photolog features a rainbow cityscape taken from Given Tce in Paddington, Brisbane.

The template is ‘Connections’ by Patricia Muller. I’m focusing on using the Wordpress tools just now so I’m expecting to work on my own template for a while yet.

Peak Range Sunset Photos

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

Driving from Emerald to Mackay on Saturday I stopped by the side of the road to catch a view of the setting sun’s rays on one of the volcanic plugs in the Peak Range. My eye was caught by the glowing wheat field in front of the twin peaks.

The Peak Range is a chain of mountains to the east of Clermont - a number of groups of sharp peaks separated by flat plain country.

And then I turned around to take photos of the sun setting behind the trees. What a privilege to be present and still in those liminal moments where the day finishes and the night starts.

Golfing Ducks on Gold Coast

Friday, November 4th, 2005

On Wednesday I checked out Carrara Golf Course with my long-time friend from New Zealand, Phil King.

It was not a brilliant game from me. I managed to get one hole in 3. You don’t want to know about the others.

The visual highlight of the day was coming across a tribe of ducks at the tenth hole, grazing on the green like a herd of cattle.
