Happy New Year! To kick the new year off, here is an image from earlier in the week of Lake Lyndon, one of Canterbury's high country lakes, which at this time of year has a fringe of introduced viper's bugloss, a plant of European origin that has become widespread in dry inland parts of the South Island. Fuji GFX100s/F-Universalis/SK Apo Digitar 47mm.

Here's an image I should perhaps have posted in the 2024 thread, as it was shot last week. It depicts part of a sculpture located in McKillop Park - on a headland in Freshwater (Sydney's Northern Beaches). It's called Signal Fire and references the practice, extending back tens of thousands of years, of Aboriginal people lighting fires up and down the east coast of Australia as part of a system of communication.

To accentuate the fire aspect, I have lit the sculpture in red.

Sleeping Giants, Cockatoo Island

Some of you may recall earlier star trail images taken on Sydney's Cockatoo Island. It really is an amazing place, full of the atmosphere of an old working dockyard (not to mention the earlier penal colony). Wandering around this place by night is a special experience.

I recently had the chance to go back and produce another such image, made possible by the kind assistance of the Sydney Harbour Trust. This scene is usually impossible to shoot due to a couple of unfortunately-positioned floodlights. But they kindly agreed to extinguish them to help me.

I will ask you to reconsider.

Your work enlightens us all with its artfull and skilled expressions.

Dont let an episode with another member destroy your mood, just sigh, and carry on with skilled and strong pictures.

So, reconsider.....

Kind Regards

Thorkil

PS fine with me, the longer threads covering several years
