Sydney is Australia’s most famous and iconic city. Back in September last year, I made my first trip to Sydney. I spent a week exploring some of Sydney most popular tourist attractions, eating delicious food and taking a lot of photos. My good friend Mike, a Sydney local, kindly took out some time out of his busy week to play tourist guide. He took us down to Canberra for a day and then to the Blue Mountains on another day. This will the first post of many for my Sydney photo series.
2016 Year In Review and Looking Forward To 2017
It’s that time again when the calendar rolls over to the new year. Welcome 2017. After being inspired by Chris Guillebeau’s annual review process, I started my own goal settling/year planning a few years ago. 2016 has been my most intentional year to date. This year I’ll be sharing some of my results from my 2016 annual review and also my plans for 2017 in the area of photography and travel here on the blog.
2016 has certainly flown by, on a photographic, personal and professional level, it has been a good year with many challenges, highs and definitely much to be grateful for. I have lived more intentionally and really tried to balance the my five value areas: Health, Relationships, Passion, Contribution and Growth. On the world stage it has been a very eventful year. While sometimes it feels like there is a lot of negativity around the around, there are also plenty of people who are out there doing good positive work. We can’t control the many varied events which occur in life, what you can control is yourself and your own response to the events around you.
Walking Noble Falls, Gidgegannup
On the same day we visited Mundaring Weir, we also headed north east of Perth to Noble Falls. Noble Falls walking trail is located in Gidgegannup in the Perth Hills area. The trail takes you along Wooroloo Brook and it’s open all year round. In spring you can see wildflowers along the trail and it’s also home to birdlife. Don’t expect great things of the fall though. It’s a very small waterfall that is best seen during the winter time. The full circuit only takes around 45 minutes and it’s fairly flat and easy. If you didn’t bring food to BBQ or a picnic spread, Noble Falls Tavern is just across the road.
Exploring Mundaring Weir
I’ve been enjoying digging into my photo catalogue as it allows me to reflect on my photography. What I once thought was a “good” photo, sometimes isn’t so good anymore in hindsight. Sometimes something might stand out to, tempting me to re-master and re-edit that photo. For the most part, it reminds me that photography is an ever developing skill. I don’t think I’ve quite figured out my “style” yet. But over time I feel I gravitate towards shooting certain subjects or creating a certain mood.
The Not So Secret Garden
I’m once again digging Into The Archives. This post shares photos I took in August last year when a couple of friends and I were trying to locate this so called “secret garden”. If you didn’t already know, the “secret garden” is actually hidden away in the northern suburbs. This “secret garden” was all the rage on social media last year, to the point where people who knew of the location were leading others on a wild goose chase! Well the secret is definitely out now. This “secret garden” is actually Careniup Wetlands at Careninup Lake in Gwelup, City of Stirling.
