photo competition...

Love the light glow filtering through the wing feathers...
So magical...

This captures a unique perspective of a bird on the wing+webby branch...The bird is not the 'main' focus, but rather the whole 'landscape' creates the emotional setting of the moment. The bird adds the energy. No bird no punch. Perhaps a little too 'avant-garde' for the judges?

inner Melbourne from the Treasury steps...

Sandy-sombre building tones, empty street+steps, all in greying light, create a melancholic, but still very beautiful urban atmosphere...
The pillar 'extract' dominating on the left suggests that this is just a passing moment in time...

hilarious monologue of LG manual...

I think I'd slightly tweak SM's title for extra dramatic 'thump'...'Croc-o-Coal Dundee'...
The concept of the NY billboard about a PM in another country is certainly 'arresting'+confronting...But if this goads SM to 'do something', (ahem), then our embarrassment is worthwhile...

favourite Australian...

So difficult to choose an all-time favourite Australian. I could mention so many for different reasons. But I've decided to choose one man who has done so much for the less fortunate. He never stops trying to improve peoples' lives. That man is Melbourne's treasured Father Bob.

You guys are a mighty tough bunch. So many data challenges + now facing the source of the data. Stay strong. You've given so much to the Victorian community and we are so grateful. Now we will stand by you all. Just keep us posted on how you all are 🆘+ we'll 'prop you up'...😀

Armidale tornado...

Can't believe that I missed this news on the recent Armidale NSW tornado.
Yes, I live in Victoria. But I was a student connected with the University of New England there some years ago. UNE has closed to assess building damage+ open again 20.10. https://t.co/AvmdDso3Mz
