A charming set Pauline, and I guess down under rarely looked better. I like all the pictures although the first one is particularly good. I like the coastal setting and the surrounding flora and what appears to be a wooden bridge leading to the lighthouse and I like that theres a person in the doorway, giving the image life and scale, great job

Hello Pauline. This is a great set of shots, esp, the lighthouse. I envy the skies and natural light you have there. Still, none of that would be much good if the most important component of the camera (i.e. that part 5 cms behind the viewfinder) was lacking, which is so not the case with your shots. Thank you for yet another glimpse of another wonderful corner of Gods planet. PAUL

These are very nice photos. I'm partial to the lighthouse picture. I like the composition with the lighthouse on the left third. And I love the color of sky and clouds. Nice work!

Thankyou Steve. We certainly had a wonderful time exploring the South, but oh my, it was bitterly cold I must add. The person giving life to the scene was my lovely Husband.

Thankyou for your feedback. We are very lucky here with the range of scenery and interesting places to visit, especially if you have a camera.
