Zooming in on a penny lizard poking its head out from a brick veneer crack in a wall, on a dull Tuesday morning #TextureTuesday #photography #skinks

Close up view of a skink poking its head out of a crack in a brick wall. About half its body is in view, two legs in full view and one back leg not quite. The bricks are blonde and the mortar is light in colour, and quite textured. Some green is visible on the bricks, probably mould given the orientation of the wall.

The making of a big hole below the surface of North Sydney, in what would become Victoria Cross Metro Station with a 42 floor building above. August 2020, as seen from the fourth floor of the building opposite via phone camera. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLookingIn #photography

Looking down through a fourth floor office window to a construction site across the road, at what is now becoming a big hole in the ground. Steps in protective scaffolding lead down to the bottom of site, with lighting seen turned on. Various machines are in the process of breaking rock on the left of the frame, with their operational lights visible through the rock dust in the air on an overcast afternoon. Some of the broken material is in the process of being tipped into a truck at the right of the frame. The window being looked through is, not surprisingly, covered in rock dust.
This is the early stages of the construction of the metro station at North Sydney, what will be known as Victoria Cross.

I don't think this is where pegs come from, though in our garden this is often where they are found 😀 #ColourADay #OrangeSun #photography #gardenlife

A peg lying in a group of unidentified clumping plants. The peg is plastic, and orange in colour. Sunlight falls across the image, making shadows on the plant and peg.

Looking up at a section of 1000 Cranes, an installation at Vivid 2018. Artists: Ambient & Co- Christopher Simpson, Isabella Bain, Anthony Zeater, James Rotanson, Khanh Nguyen Can't miss the #lights in this one 😂* #photography *see my previous #BlueSkyArtShow submission

A section of an installation at Vivid 2018. 1000 Cranes is inspired by an ancient Japanese legend: if a group of 1000 origami cranes (known in Japanese as senbazuru) are hung in one’s home it will act as a powerful and benevolent charm and bring good luck.
The installation is a canopy of hanging origami cranes that light up as visitors move through the space. As the crowd grows more cranes light up until 1000 cranes are fully illuminated. The light colours of the cranes are individually white, blue, red, purple orange and yellow in this section captured. Most of them are purple. Some cranes are dark, not lit up.
Artists: Ambient & Co- Christopher Simpson, Isabella Bain, Anthony Zeater, James Rotanson, Khanh Nguyen.

Not long before sunset tonight looking over what was once public housing in Millers Point, Sydney And tiny tiny tiny #lights of the string variety (barely visible, in silhouette) for #BlueSkyArtShow, where we are all friends, yes 😀? #photography #sunsets #sunset

Looking over the roofline of terrace houses at a setting sun and clouds. The roofline is in silhouette, with the sun reflecting off some of the railings on the top level of the houses underneath. On the right a rooftop structure with a cover and tiny tiny string lights hanging from a possible pagoda like structure. Two chimney pots are atop a chimney in the middle of the frame. The sun is behind this chimney, a golden yellow blending into brown among the clouds. A tall pole with something oval on top, possibly an air vent, is off to the left of the chimney.

Night construction lights across the valley (at a distance of about 2km or so) #BlueSkyArtShow #Lights #photography

Construction lights at night. A building is being constructed, and certain parts of it are lit up. A crane it to the right of the frame. As the building is close to an airport there are red flashing lights on the tallest parts, in the photo showing red, not flashing. The crane also has red lights.

Pear in the gutter At least it's biodegradable (and is being helped along if you look closely 😄) #SensoryArt #fruit #ColourADay #GreenSat #photography #gutter #pears #discarded

Close up view of a pear in a street gutter, with some leaves, flowers, sticks and other detritus. The pear is lying on its side, over a join in the gutter. One half of the pear is green, where the stalk is, the other is more yellow. There is visible damage, bruising, marks; and a hole in the skin/flesh facing upwards with insects feeding on it. Small fruit flies (presumably) are on the outside skin, and also inside the hole eating the flesh. A small black caterpillar looking creature is at the edge of the hole. The light is dull but there are some shadows around the pear and also the top left of the frame from an unseen parked car.

Goodness knows why, but I can't not post it #Threesday #whynot #photography

Close up view of the back of a washing machine sitting on the verge. Three hoses are in view. Two are attached to the back by nuts - one nut blue, the other red. The other hose is held the the machine by a clamp, the end with a red nut is not fixed. There is some dust or similar on the back near the attached hoses. Some light is reflected, possibly from the windows of the house behind, making shadows on the back.

Empty shop life Reusing this photo as it fits this week perfectly #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLookingIn #photography #emptyshop

Looking through a window with bars to a shop that has been empty for many years. The bars are both metal and wooden. The window has no glass or other material covering it. The floor is covered in dust and detritus. A doorway leads to another room, filled with sunlight. In the main room sunlight is seen on the floor coming in through a side window.

Footpath still life (under seasonally confused trees two weeks ago) #ColourADay #RedWed #leaves #photography

Three fallen leaves and some sticks on a footpath in weird light. The middle leaf is red, an autumn colour. It is the beginning of spring, September. Under this leaf is a stick. with most of it visible. To the right of the leaf is a smaller stick, about 2cm or so in length. Above the red leaf is a smaller leaf that is a light reddish green colour. Below the middle leaf is a green leaf, curled at the edges.

I generally don't take photos of roses, but for some reason this month I have been #ColourADay #PinkMon #flowers #bloomscrolling #roses

Close up view of a pink rose growing on the plant. Some of the petals look as though they are damaged or deformed.

Beautiful yet slightly horrifying I've used this photo before but not for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLookingIn #photography #mould #mug

Looking into a tall white mug that has different colours of mould on the bottom. The colours are splodges of yellow, white, blueish grey, and black. Reflections of the photographer and mould are seen on the inside wall of the mug. The mug is sitting on a bright yellow formica kitchen bench, with handle to the right edge of the frame.

#Wheel says no This vehicle was in the same place for over a month so I may have posted a similar photo before ('cos you never know what you'll need for a challenge, so you capture everything 😀) #SensoryArt #flat

A flat tyre on a silver vehicle. The wheel shown is the front left passenger side. Part of the road, kerb and gutter is in view, with some dead leaf debris in the gutter. It is an overcast day so the scene looks a bit dull.

Bird splatter (on my car roof, and yes it's now removed, and yes I should wash the car 😀) #Abstractia #Splatter

Extreme close up view of a dark bird dropping on the roof of a white car. Thick stripes are seen running across the frame, shadows through a picket fence atop a retaining wall the car is parked below. The roof looks dirty, as the car has not been washed for a while.

Much used (and washed) wine red knockoff With my usual styling inadequacies #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKn… #ColourADay #RedWed #photography #hobobag

A wine red handbag on a landing. The bag is a nylon shoulder bag, with a single strap and front and side zip pockets. The wall of the landing is a beige colour and has some texture to it. The base, and what looks like a skirting board but isn't a board, is a dark blackish grey colour.

Golden hour reflections (through a hint of hazard reduction smoke), last week Right time, right place #WindowsOnWednesday #wednesdaywindows #windowswednesday #photography

Looking a the outside of a building, with part of the roof and brick wall in view. Two windows are in full view. Power lines run across the frame. It is golden hour, possibly with some smoke in the air from recent hazard reduction burns. The light is hitting one of the windows and drainpipe with dramatic golden colour. The whole scene has a glow to it, reflected on the metal gutters and top part of the building.

Some may say daftness, madness given this pyramid occurs after seven or so pints of Guinness have been consumed; fellow Guinness Crawlers say tradition. And in 18 days, on AFL Grand Final day we attempt it again . . . #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJForJocular #photography #humanpyramid

A human oyrmaid, with layers three, two and one. The top person looks to be falling off, but this is as hogh as the pyramid reached. The pyramid is in a park, with a church in the background. A taix is on the road, to the right of the pyramid, about to pass by. A light blue backpack is in view, half in frame in the lower right

Spring is here, filling the frame with pink (although Saturday felt like summer what with 32°C but back to 21 today so much more pleasant and appropriate, but I digress) #ColourADay #PinkMon #photography #flowers #bloomscrolling

Close up view of pink flowers on a tree, with buds yet to open. The plant is possibly a double pink flowering plum, Prunus x Blireana. In the background are other flowers on the tree and those nearby.

2019 stairs/addition on a state heritage listed 1904 building #SensoryArt #Stairs #photography #architecture

Looking up at a brick building built in 1904, with a 2019 addition of external counterbalanced fire stairs. The view is from across the road, looking at the end of the building. The stairs are metal with a continuous handrail and a glass wall on at least one side only one side is in view). The stairs disappear behind a black wall on the footpath The building looks to be seven storeys along with a ground floor. Three columns of the upper windows in view each have a juliet balcony. There are windows to the left of the frame that are in a column cut off by the frame that do not ave a balcony. Apologies if I have any messed up any architectural terms.

Not sure if these two are trying to blend in or if they are in a "Halt. Who goes there?" type situation. I'd wager they are most definitely silently judging those who pass. #Caturday #photography

Two cats in front of a corner of wall at the edge of the footpath. There is a metal gate one one side of the wall. One cat is standing, an orange and white tabby. That closest to the fence is a light brown/grey with white on face and front (sorry, can't describe accurately) and it is sitting with its tail to its side. The fence is orange/brown mix in colour, with darker brown layers at the bottom. The fence is sort of but not quite the colours of the cats. Both cats are facing the footpath, and are standing in front of the gate.

Confused tree branch in late afternoon late winter sun #BlueSkyArtShow #Minimal #photography #leaves

The end of a branch of a tree, with both autumn leaves (four) and spring buds in view. The tree is possibly an oak but don't hold me to that. There are more buds than leaves, spring being technically 26 or so days away when this photo was taken. The background is blue sky.

Tree on the corner of a shopping strip in late afternoon winter sun, early August Still working on this b+w thing (and photography itself) #ColourADay #BWFri #photography #trees

A black and white photo of the top a tree with bare branches on the corner of a street. The branches fill most of the frame, and several birds are sitting among them. In the bottom left of the frame is part of an awning with a bird sitting on the edge. A street light pole is seen through the branches. On the right of the frame are upper storeys of shops on the other side of the road, the closest with a balcony and stairs if you look closely. The sun is in light cloud on the left of the screen, appearing lighter then the rest of the sky.

A Peter Drew poster, that of Friedrich Georg Kimmel, in Marrickville. #UrbanGaze #photography #poster

A poster on a red brick building wall. The poster is above a safety mirror showing an unseen driveway. The building awning is partly visible as is a second storey. The poster is part of the AUSSIE series by Peter Drew, this one Friedrich Georg Kimmel. The poster has a picture of Friedrich against a blue background with the word AUSSIE at the bottom.

Born in Vienna in 1925, Frederick George Kimmel was just 13 years old when his family migrated to Australia in 1938.
He enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force in 1943 at the age of 18 and served as a field mechanic. He died two years later in a military accident, just two months after the end of the war.

Double flowering plum (Prunus x blireana) starting spring mode #photography #seasons #trees #buds

Close up view of branches of a tree. One branch has a small flower bud in the process of opening, some pink is showing. Other branches show small buds that are growing and yet to open. The background is a dull greyish colour and the branches are brown, so the pink bud stands out among the slightly washed out background.

The Sydney Opera House, at night during Vivid 2025, view from Campbell's Cove, opposite. The sails are lit up, celebrating the work David McDiarmid with the theme Kiss of Light. Each of the sails of the main has the outline of a heart shape on it, with red and blue colours covering the sails. There are other images but it is difficult to make out what they are.

Watery night traffic in Petersham. From my archives, though not an unfamiliar sight at this spot. #SensoryArt #Traffic #photography #flashfloods #roads

A night photograph of a road experiencing flash flooding, as seen from a footpath closest to the left of the frame. There are two lanes of traffic, one each way as the third ane closest to the blocked drain, to the right of the frame, and thus with the highest water is being avoided by drivers. Water is lapping over the far footpath. Light from street lights (green, orange and white) along with car headlights, are reflecting off the surface of the water, showing the waves made by the cars travelling through the water.

Pigeons in a concrete garden, both common on this particular street #BirdOfTheDay #RecentGardenBirds #photography #steps #TextureTuesday

A section of concrete steps and a driveway belonging to a block of units. The steps have yellow safety paint on the edges and a brown metal railing on the right. Three pigeons are on the steps, eating something, The driveway is steep, and a pigeon is standing in it about to eat something. The steps are against a blonde brick wall to the left, with a letterbox that has the number 5 on it in view. The sun is shining on the end of the steps in view, lighting two of the pigeons and the lower part of the visible railing.
