Herein the description lies two full sentences about some soap bubbles against a window pane. The reasoning behind such a mundane capture was sleep deprivation.

Some camera using some lens being held stable by a tripod thingy then pushed through the software hole with some mouseclicks. (Canon EOS Rebel T2i, 100mm macro, 055xprob + frotto rail, natural sunlight, Adobe Photoshop).

Although there is certainly a poetry to the world when it's alive and full of people, there is simply nothing that can possibly compare to that same world when no one else is around. It is stripped of the extraneous energy and second hand emotion that occurs when you're lost in a crowd (even if that crowd is small). You're seeing it raw… bare. It's an otherworldly experience to say the least.

Now add sunrise to the mix. That's the time when the earth itself wakes up. Shades of understated grey give way to hues of lilac, violet, and lemon that simply don't exist later in the day. It is the visual equivalent of listening to an orchestra tuning up just before the performance of a lifetime.

This shot features a private boathouse along the main river of Perth. (If you've visited the area, you may know it well!)

At sunrise on this crisp winter morning, it appeared wise… knowing. A loan witness to this beautiful world at this extraordinary time of day, there at the end of that simple, weathered pier.

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!

This HiRISE image shows a valley filled with an assortment of linear ridges. These ridges are often referred to as transverse aeolian ridges, or TAR, and they take a variety of forms. Here they sit at right angles to the direction of the valley, because the topography funnels the wind along the trough.

At this location, some of the TAR have secondary structures, likely small ripples. It is common for sand dunes to be covered in small ripples, often with different orientations that may be shaped by winds redirected by the larger dunes. Here the secondary structures have an unusual radiating/converging pattern, giving the TAR here a feathery appearance.

HiRISE is one of six instruments on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The University of Arizona, Tucson, operates HiRISE, which was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

Shot this photo last February near Skaftafell, Iceland. All roads in Iceland are so tempting that they want to make you a free wanderer.

The sun setting on the cliffs of Big Sur. This was the moment just before the sun went below the horizon.

This photo is one of many taken on a recent photo-walk around "The City" (the financial district of London) with my good friend Frank. Formally known as 30 St Mary Axe, this building is a defining feature of London's epic skyline.
