Taken from the Fossil Rock Lookout, near the Blowhole in Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania.
Unfortunately it was a wet and miserable day when we were here, but I love the dark brown tones of the rocks and cliff face.

Here's another photo from a recent holiday in Tasmania.

This is looking down the rivermouth of a river at Denison Beach, on the east coast of Tasmania, a few kilometres north of Bicheno. In the distance, the beach and ocean is visible.

The sky was almost cloud-free, with just a few small clouds visible above the horizon. I like the subtle sun-rays visible at the top left of the photo (click the photo to view a larger version).

Dawn is a great time of the day for photos, and the photo below is one of my favourites from a trip to Darwin and Jabiru in 2006.

It was taken at Mamukala Wetlands, near Jabiru, which is approximately 200km east of Darwin, in the Northern Territory. The water was very flat, and there was a bit of fog over the water as the sun came up. Everything is very still, and the only sign of life is the birds foraging for food.

I like this photo, because it portrays the peacefulness and quietness of the dawn.

The early morning sun lights up the Paddle Steamer Decoy in South Perth, with the city of Perth providing a background skyline on the other side of the Swan River.
