<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Tucked away down a side street off Jetty Road in Glenelg is yet another extraordinary piece of street art by the Toy Solders Crew. I can’t be absolutely certain of the individual artist’s identities but the names ‘Fredrock’ and ‘Benzo’ keep popping up. I have seen examples of their work all … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There’s a story here on this hidden wall in suburban Adelaide. Who is the man with briefcase and folder and who are the two figures in the window watching him leave? Or is he leaving? Is the woman begging or perhaps offering something, and to whom?

The other, and sadly I have not spent enough time in them , the mountains. Many … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" With autumn nearly over and winter on its way our beach is starting to take on a disheveled windswept look. Clumpy, patchy, pools of water where the ocean has scoured the sand and piles of seaweed heaped here and there. No longer the postcard place of summer but still as beautiful … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I love how we have held on to the romance of tall sailing ships. A symbol so ancient in the travel of humanity for every reason imaginable. No longer needed for exploration of uncharted lands or even escape from humanitarian tragedies, sailing ships today really belong to the world of maritime … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Another day comes to an end and our ‘Sol’ hovers on a watery horizon. It might be ‘so long’ for now but as sure as as anything can be, we will see you in the morning. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 854, So Long Sol’ 1/4000s f/16 ISO100 200mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" At first I thought it was unnatural. I Imagined stone shapes cast in some exotic mix of concrete, sand and and gravel. On closer inspection it appeared to indeed be real granite. I left with this image and a puzzle. Later I learned that this new Adelaide Airport water feature is … Read more
