<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" An idle moment with a cigarette and a thought. So often I see a solitary occupant of a doorway, or a back alley. Alone with their thoughts in a blue grey haze. I wonder if in times gone by that cigarette would have been smoked in the company of others? Perhaps … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I am definitely drawn to water. Be it the ocean, a river or even a simple clear bottle of unadulterated water. When I saw this image I loved the stark contrast between the crystal-like clarity of the the glass and the water against the dense wood of the church lecture. The … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The Adelaide Town Hall has a very beautiful concert organ and it is a testament to the vision of the Adelaide City Council back in 1987 that it needed to furnish this Adelaide city icon with an instrument worthy of the historic building. The previous concert organ had served well over … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There’s a reason they keep the paddle boats out in the middle of the Torrens River overnight. Just imagine how tempting to take one of these for spin in the middle of the night after a big night out in the city but just not ready to go home yet. This … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I love shady streets where the leaves from the trees mingles above the road casting a long zebra pattern of shadows into the distance. I was out and about today and happened to park on a side street. When I returned to the car I looked down the road and felt … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" In 2002 I experienced my first total solar eclipse. It was only a short 30 seconds of totality but from that moment I was hooked! Although I could not be in Cairns this year and am envious of my friends who were, I was not going to miss the opportunity to … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" How many sunsets are enough sunsets? One answer might be ‘at least another billion years worth’. The following 4 billion years after that will see the earth slowly steamed and the oceans boiled dry. After another 2 billion years of being torched as a red giant our sun will finally burn … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I’ve been waiting to cross this bridge for months now and today I finally got the chance. For may months the Adelaide International Airport has existed in a state of construction as new infrastructure including an undercover parking facility has been underway. Today I got to use the new car-park and … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" To me this building is just visually wrong! It can’t seem to make up it’s mind if its a regular office building or some psychedelically coloured medieval fortress. Perhaps the designer was fired halfway through the work for substance consumption and the work needed to then be completed by some rectangle … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This extraordinary stained glass window on the Eastern wall of the St Bartholomew Anglican Church in Norwood tells a story crossing legend and myth and religion. Perhaps the story of George and the Dragon is a retelling of the Greek myth of Perseus and Andromeda. Perhaps it is an allegory for … Read more
