I got my new lens today, a Tokina 11-16mm wide angle lens.

Unfortunately today was overcast except for the last 10 mins of daylight. I took this photo on my way home from work. It looks over Tanunda and Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley.

A touch of Constable there, Ashsaege. Nice work.

This is Lindsay Park in Angaston. It is a horse racing and breeding stud.

Here are a few of the photos I took whilst in the Solomon Islands about 5 years ago. Apologies for my poor photography skills.

Some local kids at Auki

These next two were taken from a NZ chopper (cant remember the type). Barely any room on those things, my feet were literally dangling out in the air.

Some Tongan's playing with their new friend.

This spider was bigger than both of my hands put together!

Would not have wanted to be in this tin-can 55 years ago.

Solomon Islands Part 2:

Each week we would take lollies to the children in the hospital at Honiara. This really affected me, the conditions were terrible but the kids were so brave.

This small water hole is located near the village of Malu'u, located on the Malaita island. The kids play chasey here all day long. After watching for 30mins, I decided to join in. The kids ran along the walls like they were made of velcro (yet were actually covered in moss). They thought it was hilarious seeing a big pastey white guy try to maneuver his way around whilst they ran rings around me. There were all sorts of hiding spots for them in mini caves underneath the waters surface.

Some nice pics added so far. I have been a bit slack for too long.

Went to the cairns tropical zoo yesterday and took some pics of some cuddly furry animals!

Ashaege, do you by chance have the higher resolution version of that? And, more pertinently, are you willing to let me to use it as my wallpaper? I absolutely love it

Cracker of a day today! Got some top shots of the flying handbags at Hartleys Crocodile Adventures and a multitude of other colourful animals. I took quite a lot so just added a couple from different angles. Plenty more if you want. Had a 50mm prime lens on the D200 so most come out quite sharp on the larger sizes.

Got these on Friday night around midnight on my back porch. Storm brewing here in Melbourne. These are lightning flashes high up in the clouds, no streaks accept for once or twice in a half hour period.

They're a bit samey, but there it is.
