Following on from the previous post whereby I explored the regatta grounds, I decided to keep on walking towards the Tasman Bridge. There’s a lovely cycle path that runs along the Derwent all the way up the estuary as far as Claremont for a total of almost 16km, a fine journey indeed. It’s often ill-advised … More Tasman Bridge and surrounds
This is going to be the first post of a few from a wee stroll I went on the other day, which turned into quite the long walk indeed. I’ve been living in Hobart for several months now and there’s still so many places in the city and surrounds I’ve yet to see. I decided … More Hobart Regatta Grounds
Street photography is fun, a LOT of fun. I’ve always enjoyed looking at street photography whether it’s from the old masters who invented the genre or the many many photographers out there today taking great street photos. Only recently however did I get fully bitten by it. I’ve taken a few images here and there … More Street Photography with the Fujifilm X30
Woke up to a Winter Wonderland in Mount Nelson this morning! Snow had been promised and snow was indeed delivered! It’s still coming down as I write this but alas has mostly melted away now. We had very little snow in the Czech Republic for the last two Winters so it was so nice waking … More Snowbart: A Winter Wonderland on Mount Nelson in Tasmania
Our second trip to the wondrous place that is Maria Island was a bit of a washout unfortunately but that didn’t mean it was any less awesome than our first visit. I can’t put into words the feeling you get on that island, it’s just…..magical. Sounds cheesy I know but there is something in the … More Return to Maria Island
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending another Instameet with the ever more familiar (and growing) group of photographers I’ve been getting to know over the past few weeks. Shene Estate was the venue of choice for this Instameet, organised by @lifecatchme with support from @loves_laughs, @jayedevil and @lovethywalrus. Being without vehicular transport for the … More Shene Estate: Ordinary people, extraordinary challenge.
My first trip to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery was a bit of a rushed affair as I only had an hour before they were closing. As a result I completely missed a whole section of TMAG, the Bond Store Gallery. It is located within the old Bond Store which was built in the … More TMAG: Bond Store Gallery
The issue of marriage equality has been all over the news globally in recent weeks and months. I was working when the decision came through from back home that same-sex marriage had been legalised and I was buzzing for the rest of the night, it was a historic decision and the right one at that. … More Marriage Equality Rally: Hobart
Another weekend adventure, another Instameet and another fantastic day in a beautiful location. I could get used to this. For Instameet 29 there was a brilliant turnout at Villa Howden, located near the village of……..you’re absolutely right, you’ve won the toaster oven….Howden. So what is Villa Howden? Well I’ll let their very nicely written website … More Villa Howden
Ok that title might be a slight exaggeration of the situation I experienced the other day in Bellerive. I had travelled over to the delightful Eastlands shopping centre for a bit of shopping and afterwards decided to take a stroll down to the waterfront. After all you don’t come all the way across the river … More Cliffhanger in Bellerive
