Happy New Year! CDP Theme Day, Favourite Photo of the Year...



Well it's official.. I'm a day late, the story of my life :) I hope you had a wonderful festive season I'm looking forward to catching up with all your news. The theme for the City Daily Bloggers as always at the beginning of the year is 'favourite photo from previous year'. I have to admit I was pretty chuffed with the series of shots I took at Skyworks 2015 mostly because I was minus a tripod and improvised using my knees! Check out the post here to see more. Can't wait to see if they can outdo the spectacular climax below this year..


On a similar 'lighting up the sky' theme this shot appealed as an example of the juxtaposition of man made electricity through wires and the unstoppable fury of mother nature!


.. and below taken very early in the morning (6.30am) just a few days ago, my personal favourite.. playing hide and seek with Gigi, photos courtesy of Aimee! Only one day late in wishing you all the best for a happy new year, it's off to a hot start in Perth 37C today with more to come! Take care and stay safe..
