Phillip Island and San Remo (photographs)

 I didn't have my usual camera with me, and have tried - with varying success to use post-photo cropping where I would normally use pre-photo zoom ... In any case, enjoy :)

Silver

Not cold, but calm,
Soothing,
the gentle hue-less play
of silver light and shade
of our Lunar Lady.

Did we allow ... ?

Divide and conquer;
divide and rule
- distract
with gaudy baubles
- dreams of also
being rich and glitzy.
Is that how
the rich and power
-ful elite
have held so much
power
for so long?
If so, it is we
not they,
who deserve
the most soundest of
condemnations,
for our mindless,
thoughtless,
and passive ...
acquiescence.

The perfect shopping list (humour)

The perfect shopping list:

• everything you bought and meant to; 
• everything you bought but didn't mean to; and 
• everything you meant to buy and didn't.

On Ireland

Clouds
Roiling to match
   the rolling hills below
Grey and dark
   to bring the green below
   to brighter light,
Clouds
Close enough to touch
   in this land where
   earth and sea and sky
   clasp their hands
   together.

Explainer: eclipses (in Melbourne)

I got the idea for this explainer after several years of actual experience ...

Eclipse of the Moon

Eclipse of the Sun (note: wrong equipment!)
