Great Spot for Photography on Northern Beaches

-

 


I've only ever been to Curly for Bird photography so this was a new experience. I nearly didn't go but decided that life is too short and you should take the opportunity when you are invited to do so. 

The reason I was hesitant was that yesterday, I shattered my graduated neutral density (GND) filter which I use at every seascape shoot. Big bummer. This piece of glass is around $200 to replace. I was really disappointed but that's life so I decided to go anyway and see what I could come up with.

The tide was high and the swell was good so I did get wet but the water was warm and it actually felt really good. Wish I'd brought my swimsuit!

  As a local Sydneysider, I never get tired of this walk or this view. Today I was thinking how incredible this would be for a visitor to our beautiful city. It's an easy walk with loads of cafes and eateries or picnic spots along the way as well as a few must-do detours. You could do it in a couple of hours walk or even make a day of it.   What you'll need: Water bottle Opal Card Good walking shoes  Snacks or money for a coffee Start: Wynyard Station End: Circular Quay Distance: Around 7km 1.  Wynyard Exit 1 to Wynyard Park 2. City Turn right and walk down York. Just before Grosvenor, cross over York at the light, then across Clarence at the Zebra crossing. You'll come to a walkway that goes under the road.

Observatory Hill Walk to the left of the Observatory buildings, you'll see Barrangaroo and Crown...

Top Things To Do In London - Spitalfields and The Huguenot homes of Fournier street - a little history walk through London

-

With my good friend, Russ, occasional walking guide and history enthusiast I had the fortunate pleasure of being transported back in time, experiencing London in quite a unique way. When I may have simply passed by oblivious to its significance, Russ pointed out a snippet and anecdote that made the walk a much more enjoyable experience. Things got messy in France under  King Louis XIV  around 1685 forcing The Huguenots (Protestants) to leave the country. Around 50,000 of them settled in England, around half in London and many around the Spitalfields streets we walked through today. These homes were built in the 18th century. As silk weavers and clockmakers, the Huguenot's homes were a combination of workshop and living space. These are the largest group of Georgian built homes that still remain standing in London and are currently grade ii listed buildings, which means every effort must be made to preserve them. Mostly, these homes are renovated on the inside and fetch hu...

Juvenile Eastern Whipbird drops by for a visit

Image
  My walk on Thursday, went from Lindfield down Symons Track, under Fullers Bridge and toward Chatswood golf course. On the little trail before the golf course, I heard a scurrying in the bushes and a little muffled squelching.  I saw two Whipbirds amongst the brush. The regular blue-headed Whipbird I had seen frequently but I have never seen this brown coloured one. So I quickly photographed it then once home used my Merlin app to identify it as a Juvenile Eastern Whipbird. The adult Eastern Whipbird peers at me through the bushes. I always get excited when I see a new variety or a different version of a bird.  I get a lot of ridicule from serious bird people but I hope I never lose the thrill of these new discoveries. Official Name: Eastern Whipbird,  Psophodes olivaceus,  Eupetidae Location: Coastal band of Eastern Australia Habitat: Dense vegetation near the ground and close to waterways Conservation Status: Secure For more information go to  BirdLife A...
