The Friday Foto Fun from Kate: Anchorage

I was laughing as I found this anchor. I was wondering what to post when I find an anchor while walking about in Redfern, Sydney. It didn’t have any name plates or information. It looks like I just copied Kates idea lol

March Square – number 24

Published on March 31, 2018April 14, 2018 by bushboy18 Comments

I know, why is this number 24 when there are 31 days in March. I was a bit busy early in the month and didn’t get started straight away. This #MarchSquare is the whole photo of a couple of popular posts plus some wheels as I promised Becky.

Here is a bit more of the tiles on the floor in the Grafton Cathedral. Can you see the the parts I posted earlier this month?

Black and White Sunday: Structure – man made

Published on August 16, 2017August 17, 2017 by bushboy12 Comments

I had this idea for Paulas Lost in Translation black and white photo challenge Structure but I switched to using my usual nature photos. This time I have a couple of man made structures.

Thursdays Special: Traces of the Past

Published on July 13, 2017August 17, 2017 by bushboy3 Comments

Australia isn’t an old country. Settled in 1788, many of the buildings have gone and there is still some Traces of the Past.

I have, as in my last blog, gone back thousands of years. This time I have a bit of the architecture from the not too distant past.

Many of the buildings in Sydney and the surrounding settlements were made of sandstone. Sydney sandstone is a valuable building material now-a-days. This church is in Springwood in the the Blue Mountains which surround Sydney to the west.
