Robert's Ramblings

Adelaide has amazing talent!

Driving down East Terrace, Bowden we happened on walls and walls of amazing graffiti art. One particular wall would have needed 10 or 12 stitched images together to do it justice.

I made several images and labored over the one I would use for today. In the end I chose this piece of wall not because it was the most brazen or most colourful or most intricate or most bizarre; this piece of wall stood out simply becuase I liked the composition of art, textures of brick, the old bricked up entrance and the overall feel of it.

Unfortunately I have no idea who the artist is and probably will never find out.

Salt, what would our lives be like without it?

I first gazed upon these man made salt mountains at Dry Creek in 1984 while studying at the Levels Campus of the South Australian Institute of Technology. There they were off in the distance and one day when I had some time to kill I set out across the industrial wasteland to get a better look. It took much longer than I imagined.

It has taken me 28 years to finally make an image of them I am happy to share.

As an added bonus this is my very first Geo-tagged image!

P.S. This image no. 183 is exactly 50% of the way through my '366 Days of 2102' project. Only 183 to go!
