<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There is a wonderful feeling of abandon that goes along with the expression ‘gone fishing’. It’s like saying that work, family, money and all the other pressures of life can wait. This may well be the case for the recreational fisher who does not carry any of the stresses that fishing … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" There’s a time of day where the details on the lunar surface, the clouds and the diffracted blue of the early evening sky all come together to be captured in a single image. I wonder how many people bothered to look up, let alone see or notice our beautiful moon sliced … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The sun has set and gone, the clouds once lit like lava fire are fading to grey, the last colour of the day recedes.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This old push-bike has probably not been peddled for a long while judging by the state of the very flat tyres and the green paint on the pedals.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" If you are into the sea air, a gorgeous sunset, a box of fishing tackle and being with friends you could do a lot worse than spending Friday night at the end of Henley Beach Jetty. I watched these merry makers for a short while as the sun descended beyond a … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I’d say countless picks have scoured this patch of alluvial overburden near Echunga in the Adelaide Hills looking for some little morsel of shiny yellow missed by the old timers more than a century ago.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Which way is up, down, left or right? Well that depends on your … Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 954, Lost Perspective’ 10s f/14 ISO200 15mm
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The sun has long set but high above the ice lights up like fire as sunset is cheated for a few minutes more. Photo: Robert Rath, ‘Day 953, Contraility’ 1/100s f/4 ISO320 200mm
