Winterscape: Romantically Bleak

"I've got the violin ready to wail in abject misery, if you'd care to slip into something a bit more sullen..."

Beautiful, but such a bleak vibe! 

Rather appropriate though, seeing as we're tipping officially into winter...

Sunscape: A Moment of Light

For something totally un-photoshopped, I think this is beautiful!!

Waterscape IV: Memories of Water

Memories of a hot summer's day, where life is always simpler. 

Colourscape III: Fluff in a Sea of Red

When the winds howl, and the red leaves fall like rain, it must be autumn.

Urbanscape III: Railway Ribbon Through the Bush

The railway line carves through and follows the ribbon of human living through the Blue Mountains bush.

Colourscape II: Sharp and Crunchy

There's no mellowness of colours in this colourscape - it's all bold, funky and bright.

If you look closely, there are actually a couple of pink Rhododendron blossoms in the midst of the green. (They obviously didn't get the memo about being spring flowers).

Colourscape I: Mellow Palette

Nightscape II: Waiting at Roadworks

Cityscape V: The Old and the New

Cityscape III: Skylines

Waterscape III: The May Queen

The magnificent Dame, the May Queen. 

The Dame with seagull.

I think it's been rigged, don't you? (*ducks* Sorry, sorry, I know...)

Cityscape III: Bird's Eye View

Cityscape II: Good Morning Hobart

Cityscape I: Red Lights at Night

Waterscape II: Two worlds

The working vessel and the bright lights beyond. 

And a similar setting during morning hours:

Seascape II: Layers of Hobart's Harbour

You can see the type of warehouses and associated dockland buildings of the kind of working harbour it might have been in the past. 

Now, although there are many fishing boats moored up, many of the buildings have taken up new lives as restaurants.

Seascape I: Harbourside Hobart

The first photo from the elevator/lobby area on my floor (before I'd even gotten I my room!)

I'm pleased to say by the way, that my room had this same view too!

(Photoshopped only with a warming filter, 'cos it was nearing 5pm and dusk was settling in).

Oh, and lest you be fooled into thinking that the traffic in the foreground represents the sum of Hobart peak hour, believe me, that road could get a lot busier!

Streetscape II: A Wintry Arvo

One of the satisfying things about this photo is that everything about it screams 'cold, wintry/autumny afternoon'. Which is exactly what it was. 

Cue cozy fire and hot chocolate...

Streetscape I: The 'Kiss and Ride'

Behind bars at a train station, looking out at the 'kiss and ride' (ie, the pick-up and drop-off point). 

Bushscape I: The Near and the Far

An enclosed bush garden overlooking the Blue Mountains bush, in Katoomba.
