lights, camera, ACTION

Two decently good shots (no.1 and no.3) in a single lunch break is quite a good score! This made me post some action in-flight photos that looked thematically linked.

Splash II

The Friday was good indeed. There are at least five or six of 'those' shots from my trip to Seven Miles Beach today.

Look at how efficient the diving is! No splashes, no energy waste. It's all so natural and perfect.

All these guys and more

What excites me so much about living in Australia is that on a single walk home you can spot all these birds below plus many others. You can work in the city and still the wild nature is so close. All you need to do is keeping your eyes and heart open.

A Whale!

Well... not exactly. It's my usual lunch-time prey – the Black-faced Cormorant. I really like the little waterfall created by the tail. That's what captured moments are for – to see and enjoy things which are invisible to the naked eye.
