repairs needed
well i've taken the last photo with my new camera for a while. it seems it has broken as it no longer starts up to let you take photos. the strange thing is it would still switch on to talk via usb, just not to take photos. the annoying thing is it happened just before christmas and while everyone is on holidays. so my blog will be sadly missing photos for a while, and i won't get to take any photos during my journey westward either which is disappointing. i should have it back in about 7 weeks. till then, i'll have to make do with other posts.

darting shadow
i caught this dark creature crossing the floor in the middle of a moonless night. where it was going no one knows for sure, and what it was thinking is a question that causes epistemological breakdowns.
but seriously this was a really dodgy photo before a bit of pixel tweaking tuned it up. now it's just mildly dodgy.
it's amazing what digital image processing can do.

sculptured wall
if you take a walk around the woolworths building at sunshine plaza you will come across this wonderful artwork. and the saddest thing is almost no one sees it! i first discovered it when i took a path less travelled about 3 years ago and have been waiting to have a camera to share it ever since. it is the best kept secret at the plaza and provides a welcome escape from the crowds. granite boulders, a small estuary and some nice trees complement the wall. it's worth a look next time you happen to be in the area.

platypus
you can just make out a platypus swimming in the water in this video. will have to get some closer shots when possible so you can see that it is a real platypus.

spaceball
was in the city yesterday and came across these strange looking steel things at the top of the mall.
turns out they are large balls made of stainless and collander like pots.
they make for a spectacular touch and feel public art display. there are several different balls in different sizes scattered around the free space at the bottom of a big new building.
it's nice to have tactile art.
little kids were climbing over them, they seemed a little bit like they could roll away if i had climbed on them, so i resisted.
however, it would make a great photo i'm sure.
maybe another day.

and then the rover saw something new
a large crater, bigger than ever before
skirting around the edges
cautious not to dive in head long
the rover quietly explored

meningococcal
one truly does not know when they might die
nor does one know what may lay around the corner in the road,
what may be behind the blue door,
or through the round window.
