<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" So white, so clean, so empty. This concrete helix provides access to the various parking levels at the Adelaide Airport terminal. I like the fact that vertical traversal has been separated from the congested maneuvering of car parking space. Not that there is any mayhem this time of the morning. For … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Colour, colour, colour. I think that’s why I liked this so much. That and those big bug eyes! Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 849, Bug Eyed’ 1/6400s f/3.2 ISO100 200mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Just because you have control does no mean you are in control. What does it mean to be ‘in control’ anyway? Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 848, In Control’ 1/50s f/2.8 ISO3200 200mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" What an odd name for a watch I thought; ‘Pebble’. I find it curious how with the advent of phones and computers providing time keeping more and more people are wearing watches less and less. You can almost spot a technophobe now by the fact they are still wearing a wristwatch. … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" They were selling jars of stuff. Hundreds of them all filled with some off-white coloured cream. I did not ask what was in them.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I first photographed this bridge when it opened in 2012 and have traversed it many times since. I’ve crossed it meeting people from abroad or delivering friends and family embarking on or resuming their own journeys. I’ve crossed it as a single man and returned with my bride. I’ve admired its … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Here’s a place I have seen many times but never actually been to, the Birkenhead Tavern. Seen here from across the Port River it looks alive and buzzing and perhaps even warrants a visit for a a meal or even drink or two. I must say I am a sucker for … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I often hear wine punters discuss vertical tasting events. Despite the fact that this actually means tasting the same wine from a series of successive vintages I find it amusing to imagine it simply being the normal state of a glass of wine held in the hand. So what would a … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Many times it’s not enough to ‘see’ an image and capture it. ‘Well seen’ is an expression often used when the composition of an apparently ordinary scene brings it to life but this idea really only applies to lenses and apertures close to our own vision. There is a different kind … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Henley Beach jetty has many moods. In fact they are as varied as ours. Often they are not so obvious, as subtle nuances of the changing tides and weather. This is especially so on our many mild days. Bring in the clouds and the wind and the rain and put the … Read more
