Last week there were thunderstorms at the end of most of the hot days. This was taken early evening as a storm was building – the sunburst was amazing as you could almost reach out and touch it such was the texture of the light.

Something a bit different to my general posts – some architecture! Taken at Werribee Park Mansion a week ago, this covered walkway was beautifully lit in the strong afternoon sun. Built between 1874 and 1877, I could imagine these walkways providing relief from the Australian summer afternoons.

Yesterday was a precursor for the stormy weather that came last night and today. I watched this sky literally churning before me yesterday late morning – it was very dramatic, if not a little unsettling. Processed using a red filter and blue toning, once again to bring out the texture of the clouds.
I don’t normally post this often but there seems to be a problem between WordPress and Facebook so apologies to those that have seen this pic on my Facebook page….Anyway, a detail of a Zebra at Melbourne Zoo – these are actually a very dark brown and cream in colour…
