A tree lined path with rays of sunlight falling on the lens. It’s a calm, sunny scene.

The stunning autumn days will continue until morale improves.

A panoramic photo of a park with trees and deep blue skies. I rotunda is in the foreground.

18 years old. I know he won’t be around much longer but I’m grateful he is.

A greyscale photo of an old, shaggy looking miniature schnauzer.

Hairdressing sign that instils confidence

A hairdresser shop sign with a decidedly odd (but maybe weird enough to be cool?) iconic description of a male and female appearing pair of people with some genuinely odd looking haircuts. Alt text fails me.

Bit of an experiment tonight. I tired to imagine what Moroccan influenced pasta might look like. I think it worked pretty well - there’s the core of a good dish here.

A bowl of pasta with a fairly thick sauce, mint and pine nuts and pistachios on top.

I keep hearing nobody comes to campus any more

Lots of students walking past a building - it’s the UNSW library.

I don’t know if I like intermissions. A break is often welcome, but I’d rather it was on my terms (and timing).

A large, old cinema. On the screen is a greyscale photo of a family and the word Intermission. It’s from the intermission in The Brutalist (2024).

The Bridge

Greyscale image of an elevated bridge (for a pipe I think) surrounded by trees.

Runner

A smiling toddler running with raised hands.

The Lennox Street bridge underpass is an example of the old local government planning proverb: revenge is a dish best served via permanent signage.

The Lennox Street Bridge pedestrian underpass in Parramatta. It's a shaded tunnel in a sandstone bridge. A large sign of a white woman, former Sydney Morning Herald columnist and failed state political candidate Elizabeth Farrelly. Superimposed on her is the text:&10;&10;Two brutish square-jawed faux-functional holes whose every semiotic cue says, 'enter here and invite Clockwork Orange-style violence upon your person' will increase the heritage value how, exactly? This is a clear instance of architectural theory running roughshod over the facts.

An old photo I took in Mildura, found during a clean out

A street sign tyhat says "Mildura Rural City Council: Making this the most liveable, people friendly community in Australia". Underneath are a series of icon sayimng these are not allowed: cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, using scooters, and drinking alcohol.

It retrospect I should have recognised this as a warning about the quality of the takeaway pizza I’d just ordered.

A bright yellow sign stuck in a shop window. The text says:&10;CASH&10;IS FREEDOM &10;USE IT OR LOSE IT!&10;GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING TO INTRODUCE PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL CURRENCY&10;&10;It's all pretty cooked.

A moon over the ocean at night, with light reflected off the water. A boat is barely visible.

Wet

Greyscale image of quite a lot of rain hitting the ground near a drain. In the background someone is exiting a building.
