<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The first time I ever dived Rapid Bat Jetty I was blown away with the diverse and prolific sea life here. Even today this place remains in my top 5 South Australian jetty dives. Well perhaps not today as all you can see is green milk! The milky green water is … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" One moment I was swimming through golden brown kelp, the surge moving me gently back and forth. The next moment a dragon appeared! As they do! Here in South Australia we are so fortunate to have some of the ocean’s most beautiful and unique critters, the leafy seadragon, Phycodurus eques is … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" All South Australian divers know that sudden fright as a huge dark shadow races from the gloom towards you. Sometimes from above, sometimes from behind but always without warning. Fright soon turn to delight as this pair of Australian Sealions frolicked and carried on like couple ‘not so lazy’ ballerinas.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Don’t you hate it when the amazing sunset you had hoped to catch disappears before your eyes behind that cloud bank on the horizon? Well next time that happens just stick around just in case the sun comes out for one last peek. It might be worth it. Photo: Robert Rath, … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The white knight and the white pawn exchange words of conviction and courage before the battle begins.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" These drops of water are not the heavenly bodies Hypatia of Alexandria obsessed over but they are beautiful as they refract and reflect the light of the world around them. These colours are thanks to a more recent mathematician, Benoit Mandelbrot and his famous Mandelbrot Fractal which provides the lighting. After … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" At first I thought this to be a wonderful new piece of street art I had found. It only took a moment to realise this must be a commissioned piece on the walls of Cirkidz, an Adelaide school for acrobatics and aerial training. Oh well it’s pretty cool anyway and bright … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" It’s a prison of sorts but to keep the innocent out. There are substantial parts of the Bowden/Brompton area scarred with the remains of industrial decay. The barbed wire and the razor wire hold no prisoners and protect nothing precious.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Unlike the prehistoric creatures coming ashore from the shallows for the first time this invasion will not make it past the high water mark. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 601, Seaweed Invasion’ 1/1250 f/11 ISO320 15mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Another mural from the collection on the Sturt River, Glengowrie. I think I must have been a little to old to really get into the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’, created in the mid 80’s and popular through the late 80’s and early 90’s.
