Never Grow Old
The Cranberries
I had a dream
Strange it may seem
It was my perfect day
Open my eyes
I realize
This is my perfect day
Hope you'll never grow old
Hope you'll never grow old
Hope you'll never grow old
Hope you'll never grow old
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo
Birds in the sky
They look so high
This is my perfect day
I feel the breeze
I feel at ease
It is my perfect day
Headed up to Lawson yesterday morning, to shoot a waterfall I hadn't been to before...Federal Falls.
The image here is quite deceptive, as due to shooting at 16mm, it makes the falls seem quite small, which isn't the case at all.
A great and easy accessible waterfall for the moderately fit, well worth a visit.
Hope you like "Never Grow Old"
Cheers, Mike

Breakaway
Kelly Clarkson
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane far away
(I will)
And break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And break away
Second image from our mood filled shoot at Whale Beach yesterday morning.
A big swell made for some epic waves which led onto some good flow, and a little bit of a waist deep drenching at one stage.
Great fun.
Hope you like "Breakaway"
Cheers, Mike

Poetry In Motion
Johnny Tillotson
Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange
Poetry in motion
All that I adore
No number nine love potion
Could make me love her more
Oh
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Took a nice early morning drive over to Whale Beach this morning to catch up with the Focus North Crew.
A fantastic seascape location, with a great bunch of people.
Thanks all for a great morning out and making me feel welcome.
Hope you like "Poetry In Motion"
Cheers, Mike

Shadows And tall Trees
U2
Who is it now? Who calls me inside?
Are the leaves on the trees
Just living disguise
I walk sweet rain tragic comedy
I'll walk home again
To the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Life through a window
Discolored pain
Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same
I walk street rain tragic comedy
I'll walk home again
To the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know
Just back from a fantastic road trip to Griffith and the local surrounds to check out the cotton fields before cropping.
As we were driving around, we came across this beautiful crop of Blue Gums and I just had to get out and shoot them.
This is the final "Fine Art" Autumnal image from that shoot.
Hope you like "Shadows And tall Trees"
Cheers, Mike

Thing Of Beauty
Hothouse Flowers
Look out your window on a winter's morning
Your breath is steam and there's frost falling
And the sun casts a spell upon the road
A thing of beauty is not a thing to ignore
Great song of beauty
Stand by the river on a moonlight evening
Lovers are loving and grievers are grieving
And the water does a dance upon the stones
I sit and listen, I will not ignore
A thing of beauty is not to be ignored
Can't you see (can't you see)
The secrets of the dawn? (thing of beauty)
Can't you feel (can't you feel)
Can't you feel it in the place that you come from? (thing of beauty)
Face up to morning
Face up to day
Face up to reality
And face up to your ways
Second image from our trip to Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains last Saturday.
This was shot using my 70-200 lens, as I wanted to compress the scene.
A beautiful tree lined street, with hardly a car in sight.
Hope you like "Thing Of Beauty"
Cheers, Mike
