Not perhaps the best tourist weather Echo Point, Katoomba April 2026 #BlueSkyArtShow #Weather #photography

A lookout in fog and rain. What would be looked at is totally hidden by the fog and rain. People are at the edge of the lookout in the background, looking more like mounds. A large stone with a couple of people standing around it is closer to the camera, though not in clear view. A person is walking across the frame from left to right. Small shrubs and trees are visible in the foreground, at the edge of the lookout, behind a wire fence. A low bench sits by this fence at the left of the frame.

Trying to photograph a dead tree in black and white, ended up with this street view. #ColourADay #BWFri #photography #streets #trees

Black and white photo of a tree in the centre of the frame, with a footpath and front fences on the left and a road and dwellings on the fight. The main tree is dead, branches bare. A power pole is behind, with wires running through the tree and others behind it. A street sign is in front of the tree, sign facing the road. A speed limit sign is behind the tree. A bus stop and shelter is on the left, with a person walking along the footpath behind it.

When the building matches the colour of your dog #ColourADay #YellowThu #photography #dogs #SensoryArt #Buildings I'm going with mustard yellow, though the dog is probably golden I've posted a similar photo in black and white, as this is a familiar sight, but I prefer a colour version

A dog looking out of an open window on the top floor of a building. The dog is roughly the same colour as the outside of the building, a mustard yellow, though the dog is probably golden. The dog has its head out resting on the window frame, making a small shadow underneath. The window frame is dark, with white louvre blinds or shutters on them. The window is in a building on shopping strip, above an unseen retail outlet, and power lines run across the frame. A light blue cloudy sky is at the top of the frame.

Slice of kitchen life on a Tuesday, for no reason #photography #kitchens

A corner of a kitchen, with a window kettle, toaster and wooden utensils in view. The bench is a bright yellow laminate, with a white silicone bench cover in the lower left corner. The kettle is glass with silver top and bottom, and is sitting on the white cover. The toaster is white with silver trim, and is in the middle of the frame. Behind the toaster is a double power point, each with a black cord, one to the kettle, the other the toaster. On the right of the frame is an empty honey tub filled with wooden kitchen utensils. Cream coloured tiles line the corner and under the window, with one tile containing a pattern of something "kitchen looking" - a bucket of what look like apples, with half of one at its base, and a stem of flowers - in brown. Across the window is a calico curtain, in the top left of the frame, with a door snake holing it up and in place on the sill as it is too long for the window.

Curiosity, a surreal playground installation of six seesaws with giant eyes. Inspired by the whimsical world of Joan Miró. Artist Amigo & Amigo. Vivid 2025 #Abstractia #Eyes #AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNeon

Part of an installation at Vivid 2025. Artist Amigo & Amigo
The scene is dark, during the night, with a seesaw lit up with two eyes on a pole in the middle. What would be a long flat board on a regular playgound seesaw here is round, tube like, lit up with a purplish. In the middle of this tube on an unseen pole are two round eyes,one atop the other. The whites of the eyes are also a purplish colour.A person is sitting on each end of the tube, in silhouette. To the left of the frame is the end of another seesaw, this one with oval eye shape partly in view.

Cotoneaster in autumn Yes it's a poisonous weed here in NSW, but it sure can photograph nice 😀 #Abstractia #Leaves #photography

A cotoneaster plant growing over a beige coloured wall. The leaves of the plant are mostly green with some red, some yellow. A small red berry is at the end of the main branch. The background consists of other branches not in focus and the wall.

This plant just keeps on providing me with images (some better than others 😆) #PurpleFriday #FlowersOnFriday #photography #bloomscrolling

Purple fountain grass growing in an unseen garden bed by the road. Few of the plant's leaves are in view, more the flowers. Some of the leaves are green, some are purple. The flowers are long feathery arched seed heads, most purple, some straw coloured. A shadow falls across the road behind the plant, that of a power pole with light and lines.

What is now Victoria Cross Metro Station and tower above. From my archives, 30 September 2020 For two years I took at least one photo per week of this site. Not really sure why at the time, possibly just because I could. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMachinery #photography

A construction site, as seen from above through an office window opposite. The window has dirt and other fine material on it carried by the air from the site. Several excavators and graders and other machines are seen, breaking and moving the earth to form a big hole in the ground. On a platform by the road is a the road by the site is a B double truck, being filled with what is being removed from the site.

Move to the back of the bus please It looked better in my head as I was suddenly remembering I needed something red for today after a difficult and trying morning with groceries still to go . . . #ColourADay #RedWed #photography #reflections

Looking at the front area of a bus, from the accessible side seats. On the floor is a red painted area, with the words NO STANDING AREA in yellow capital letters. This is reflected on the silver metal area below an unseen luggage storage area. Part of a left shoe and trouser leg is visible, belonging to a passenger sitting on the front seat behind the driver.

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.

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.

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

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.
