Government House is located in Sydney alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens, overlooking Sydney Harbour, just south of the Sydney Opera House. Constructed between 1837 and 1843, the property has been the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales since Sir George Gipps in 1845, except for two brief periods; the first between 1901 to 1914, when the property was leased to the Commonwealth of Australia as the residence of the Governor-General of Australia, and the second from 1996 to 2011.

On Wednesday I spent 14 hours and drove around 700 miles chasing storms through Kansas and Oklahoma. The "cap" prevented many of the storms from producing much, but we ended the night with a breathtaking sunset that lasted over an hour! What a sight! This is a photo I took near Enid, Oklahoma while we were enjoying the show.

Sunrise over Lake Fyans in the Grampians, Victoria, Australia. Dawn over the lake on a cold Easter Saturday whilst camping.

One day before daylight saving kicked in, didn't have to get up quite so early! First proper shoot with my Canon 5D Mark II.

I have been extremely busy at work, not much time for making artwork, but I managed to get a free Sunday to finish this. :) Thanks for the kind comments on my last pieces!

Planetary nebulae like the Helix are sculpted late in a Sun-like star's life by a torrential gush of gases escaping from the dying star. They have nothing to do with planet formation, but got their name because they look like planetary disks when viewed through a small telescope. With higher magnification, the classic "donut-hole" in the middle of a planetary nebula can be resolved. Based on the nebula's distance of 650 light-years, its angular size corresponds to a huge ring with a diameter of nearly 3 light-years. That's approximately three-quarters of the distance between our Sun and the nearest star.

The Helix Nebula is a popular target of amateur astronomers and can be seen with binoculars as a ghostly, greenish cloud in the constellation Aquarius. Larger amateur telescopes can resolve the ring-shaped nebula, but only the largest ground-based telescopes can resolve the radial streaks. After careful analysis, astronomers concluded the nebula really isn't a bubble, but is a cylinder that happens to be pointed toward Earth.

Early morning near Timothy Lake on Mt Hood in Oregon. I went for a sunrise, but it rained, and I ended up being happy with that.

Catching the last rays of sun above Storebælt - strait running between the two largest islands in Denmark.

The suspension bridge (The Great Belt Bridge), which has one of the longest mainspans in the world, meets a massive offshore wind farm and a huge container ship right in the line of fire, yet all these man-made constructions come out tiny in comparison with the greatness of nature.
