<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I watch in awe as the dark smudge in the ocean to the north finally reveals itself as a long distance swimmer. Unlike the robotic repeats of swimming pool confined laps the ocean is a very different place. With no bottom to rest on, no black line to follow, no turns … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The industrial northwest comes to an abrupt end with Barker inlet, St Kilda Inlet and the mangrove forests heading to the north.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This playful pair are part of the 2015 ‘Brighton Jetty Classic Sculptures Exhibition‘ Not that I’ll be playing with them any time soon. I’d prefer a more solid pair with nice soft coats rather than these barbwire canines. Still, they don’t eat much, never get lost and would make ideal pets … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" As a photographer I have a fascination with capturing images other photographers. Just watch a photographer, especially a landscape photographer, for a while and you will see how absorbed into their craft we can get. One moment focused on a scene, the next lost in thought.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This previously unfinished piece by ‘Treas’ can be found on the north wall of Port Adelaide’s Port Authority Building.

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" The guide said this work being done on the north wall of the old Port Authority building is by an artist called Linz. That would be a city in Austria if I was not mistaken, not the artist. The real creator here is Queensland street artist Lee Harnden. Townsville born but … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Anyone interested in street art should head to Port Adelaide this weekend for a range of amazing graffiti projects ranging from the small to gargantuan. The old Port Authority building has been an empty blight on The Port landscape for years. Finally it’s being put to good use as a canvas … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Even though I am not out on there on the yacht ‘Temptation’ enjoying the post-sun golden twilight view of Glenelg and the Adelaide hill beyond I can say I am enjoying the view. The fact that there is a yacht out there full of people ‘doing Temptation’ and having a fantastic … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Spending the evening down at Glenelg tonight with my family I casually suggested we go for a walk down to the jetty after dinner.
