how's the serenity?

the almost perfect serene stillness of an autumn-tinged lake burley griffin taken from in front of the high court of australia across to the national carillon, with the tops of the defence buildings at russell visible over to the left. i like the low moon already visible hanging in the sky too. not such a bad photo given i took it with my mobile.

old school advertising

appealing streetscape in prague. ordinarily i loathe the painted brick look but this is stylish. which is saying something given it's a billboard for foul pepsi. i wonder if mands would love the painted brick in our living room so much if i did it like this. somehow i think not :)

the turning of the leaves

one of the things i love about canberra is the distinct four seasons we experience. i think it would be perfectly dull to live in a place that was warm all the time. autumn in canberra is crisp, bracing and visually stunning thanks to the proliferation of european desiduous trees.
