[curly]

Took one of my best photos ever in ess than five minutes tis afternoon, the light was just perfect.

[danet]

Good to see you back Bluey, hope all is getting better.
Curly, would love to see this pic eventually

In the meantime, while it is still photos fresh from 'this week'...I am going to bend the rules a little and place more pics in this thread, that I took along the Australian New South Wales coastline during our travels

These pics below are in Port Mcquarie.....a really amazing place that I loved....will put up a couple more pics when I finish uploading them.





Next up is a coastal pic of Wollongong



A place called ShellHarbour....I didn't like this area much, a bit industrial, smelly, expensive, and service was a bit slow.
But I just couldn't resist taking a pic of Lake Illawarra looking so placid in the morning with an abundance of wetland birds, before we proceeded on.

well i see the standard of the comp has dropped while i've been away

Hmmm, I think I said somewhere that it was good to see you back on the boards Blue - I take it all back I didn't mean a word of it

[Globalmyths]

O'K who is the winner? My vote went to Anna's.

[Bushmermaid]

Anna's photos were very nice but I really did like the reflection in Danets photo of Lake Illawarra.

Eye-full Tower....

My daughter's been there, you know.
You haven't one of the leaning tower of pizza, have you?

Lovely photos, danet. Must have been a scenic drive.

Well I'm feeling in a jovial mood tonight so I have chosen Champ's "Eyeful Tower" because it brought a smile to my face, it is creative, and original.

Champ, please email a large version (800 px high) to south-shields@blueyonder.co.uk with some details about yourself and your picture and I will publish it in South Shields Daily Photo at the weekend.

Congratulations Champ but to get a better Eye Full you need to look up at it when a pigeon flies out.

Bushy , Curlys rules were the photo had to be taken by the person posting it ....

[baldy.smith]

I'm afraid champion didn't take the photo

it was taken by Andy Ebert, and is in fact copyright material.

the end result was achieved using Adobe Photoshop CS2

I've got the feeling that Champion didn't post it as an entry to the competition.
