A quick run down to Canberra for my annual visit to the War Memorial. I also went to the National Gallery (no photography allowed inside of course).

The statue of Simpson and his donkey in front of the memorial. trust me, there IS a donkey down lower!

And here is a shot from the sculpture garden of the national gallery

If you are after wind, I can highly recommend Canberra in August. Man, it blew!

There is a full gallery here,

Vivid Sydney 2009

A new festival was started in Sydney this year, with a number of major buildings such as the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Opera House being lit up at night. We braved the winter's night to have a look around.

This is the Museum of contemporary art, and of course the Opera House was there too.

There are more shots in my gallery!

Lunch Time walk to Victoria Barracks

I went for a walk to these historical barracks in sydney to try out my new 35mm f1.4 lens. It looks like a keeper!

On the way I found a statue of Trim the cat, who was Matthew Flinder's cat on his navigational trips in the 19th century. The feather makes it look like he just had dinner.

I took a few shots inside the barracks to give the lens a bit more of a run

There are more of these shots in the Victoria Barracks gallery

Just starting out!
