Moulin Rouge

My travels keep taking me back to Paris; to Montmartre in particular. Since my first visit about 10 years ago it has kept changing at its own steady pace; like all European cities do. But I love going back there and I love being a passerthrough taking touristy snaps.

I've just returned back to the UK after another amazing visit to my motherland, Namibia. Every time I go back, I am reminded at the pure natural beauty of this country. I always feel inspired and refreshed after a visit. All my best wishes for 2012!

2350 - Reflections of Edinburgh

2350 - Edinburgh Castle, a photo by fotoshoota.com on Flickr.

A photograph taken in car park below Edinburgh Castle. It rained earlier in the day which allowed me to get these reflections. I love how the spots on the tarmac came out. What is essentially bubble gum and gravel looks like stars in the night sky.

Petone is on the opposite end from Wellington Harbour, New Zealand. This photograph was taken on Petone Pier just before sunset. The pier offers beautiful views of the bay and many locals fish from it throughout the day.

Castlepoint in New Zealand is one of the most spectacular places on the Wairarapa coastline. The lady and her friend walked along the beach and took photographs of sea gulls and waves. Then she paused and turned to take a quick snap of the lighthouse. I took this photo with a small compact and did some basic post processing in LR.

(Ps. Weeks 2 - 4 are still outstanding, but I promise to post them soon.)
