I encountered this wooden bridge on the way to Liffey Falls, in central Tasmania. The road to Liffey Falls is particularly narrow, with lots of sharp corners that need to be navigated slowly. On the morning we visited Liffey Falls, we didn't encounter any other cars or people on the road, or on the walk trail to the falls themselves.

Due to the relatively low light levels caused by the overhead trees, this photo was taken with a tripod, with an exposure time of nearly one second.

I took this photo while lying on the ground, attempting to get some photos of my active 15 month old daughter.
It was only afterwards that I realised this was a suitable entry for Neil Creek's Iron Chef Photography - Shoes competition.

Early morning frost provides some interesting patterns on a barbed wire fence, somewhere just outside of Launceston, Tasmania.

While on holidays in December last year, we had nearly a week of rain.
Here's a few photos I took between rain showers.

I like the stark silhouette of the Citronella burner against the blue sky.
Citronella oil is an effective natural insect repellent, particularly for mosquitos.
