Day 436, Contemplating The Moon

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" One day I will do a beautiful lover’s silhouette by full moon. It is yet another on my rapidly expanding photographic bucket list. In the mean time it is quite amazing the potential substitutes! This image of a couple’s silhouette was created by using the reflected light from a Walk-On-Water ball … Read more

Day 435, Colourless Beautiful

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This dahlia is beautiful. The delicate structure of its petals are beautiful. The progressive expanding circles are beautiful. Its overall squashed spherical geometry is beautiful. Its crowning glory of deep intense purple colour is simply extraordinary. To me however the colour overwhelms putting at risk appreciation of all the other beautiful … Read more

Day 434, The Property of B. Seppelt & Sons

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" These old ceramic bottles may have found themselves in private collections, old museums or long since crushed into historical oblivion. These bottles have found a different role. Every year they are brought out from careful storage and filled with the best and the most beautiful cut flowers on display at the … Read more

Day 433, In Her Own World

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" She sat in the middle of the road. Four lanes of busy city traffic flowing to and fro around her seemed completely at odds with her fascination of the sounds being piped from the silver Walkman into her ears. At one point she appeared to become distressed and began fumbling for … Read more

Day 432, The Garden Of Unearthly Delights

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The ‘Garden’ is like a great melting pot of people all coming together for the wide and varied Fringe shows hosted there. And just as the shows themselves are so diverse, so are the people. Here at the ‘Pigs on Fire’ dinner venue there’s is a lot going on, a lot … Read more

Day 431, Dancing Skittles

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Another trip into the ‘Garden of Unearthly Delights’ netted a trove of fantastic visual treats. Try as I may I was not able to identify this juggler and his partner. I suspect the two were part of a bigger performance elsewhere. Promoting or just practicing it made for great entertainment. I … Read more

Day 430, Hot Crop

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This first crop is blooming hot! For more than a year I have been tending a ghost chili plant plant I had grown from seed, the Bhut Jolokia, also known as the Naga Ghost Chili and reported to be the hottest chili in the world. This is my the first real … Read more

Day 429, Another Beautiful Adelaide Sunset

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Tonight promised a gorgeous sunset and I was not disappointed. These warm and balmy summer evenings make being at the beach so easy with shorts and bare feet and sand between toes. Armed only with the 15mm FE I played around with various images from conservative to downright wacky in the … Read more

Day 428, Shaw’s Cowfish

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Port Noarlunga is definitely underrated as a dive site. Sunday night Alexius and myself arrived at the dive site to witness a gorgeous sunset over a calming sea on a high tide. Always looking for an opportunity for something different the high tide gave us the opportunity to swim over the … Read more

Day 427, The Three Little Pigs of Gluttony

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Gluttony is a curious little Adelaide Fringe space with five tiny performance spaces: ‘Pig Tales’, ‘Pig Pen’, ‘The Piglet’, ‘The Runt’ and ‘The Bally’. Perhaps these three little pigs represent a mascot of sorts. Then again, perhaps not. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 427, The Three Little Pigs of Gluttony’ 1/40s f/2.8 … Read more
