The Aeronaut #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 Weekly Photo Project 2013 curated by Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Week 20: Contrasting Colours Two of these powered paragliders flew past us on the weekend, only a few hundred feet up. They looked like they were having fun!

#WeeklyPhotoProject2013 Weekly Photo Project 2013 curated by Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Week 19: Sky and Clouds Another shot from outside of work, this was actually taken a few weeks back, just as a storm was building off the coast.

"Autumn Afternoon Light" #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 Weekly Photo Project 2013 curated by Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Week 15: HDR This was taken while waiting for the bus just outside of work. I had been taking some shots of jets coming in on final approach (the airport boundary is about 2km from my office) when the light became just right on some lemon gums across the road. The title is stylistically inspired by the chapter titles from "Yokohama  Kaidashi Kikou", a very quiet and magical manga I am inordinately fond of.

#WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 18: Symmetry This clock-tower is an icon of Scarborough Beach in Perth. It is also often broken, due to nearby lightning strikes...

"Skynet" #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 16: Technology Alicia Smith takes her AR.Drone mk1 out for a spin. Although they are very limited as photographic platforms at present, who knows where they will take us?

Alien skies above a busy port... trouble brewing... #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 14: Night I thought I'd play with the in-camera stacking mode of my FT-3, the results, while not stunning, can be interesting - especially with lots of sodium lamps nearby :) On the horizon, from left to right: Fremantle Port, a scattering of ships in Gage Roads, Rottenest Island, and one ship in the North Channel.

#WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 13: Playing with Light Also at Swancon, one of the art submissions for a Silver Swan award (aka 'A Tin Duck') was a Stargate constructed from strings of LEDs - hanging in the stairwell of the hotel, so I decided to have some fun with it! Oh, the Stargate did win!

#WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 12: Planes, Trains & Automobiles During our annual state speculative fiction convention (Swancon), there was a game of Rallyman running... Here, i've just come off the track, just behind the section leader.

Autumn Dawn #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 11: Spring or Autumn Not much this week, just a sign of the changing seasons, and a sunrise over the Darling Scarp, shot as I walked to my morning bus, looking out across the suburbs.

#WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 10: Depth of Field Over the trenches of France, a Gotha bomber is intercepted by a lone Sopwith Snipe. The escorting Pfalz DVIIIs close in to take care of the interruption... A scene from a game of Wings of Glory at this week's Western Australian Boardgame Association's meeting. A chance for me to merge two of my hobbies :)

#WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 9: Landscape Lake Monger, just outside of the Perth CBD is a refuge for wildlife and a favourite excercise place. It is in walking distance of two train stations on two separate lines, and has a surprising amount of parking available. It is also a part of a chain of lake reserves that extend from Joondalup in the north to Rockingham in the south. Heavily landscaped in the 1930s-1970s, extensive shoreline rehabilitiation is taking place, and the wildlife is flourishing.

All at sea... #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 8: Other photographers

The biggest shadow I could find... #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 7: Shadows

"Storm Sign" #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 6: Signs i had been waiting all week for some clouds. We'd been getting "Thunderstorms late this week" for the past two weeks - today the forecast for tomorrow in Perth is 41C and thunderstorms. And I got my shot of mare's tails and threatening skies.

"Four Eyes" #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 5: Eyes Just a shoe-in for the event. Err, sorry, that should be "a shoe, in for the event"!

Inspired by our favourite 1950s B-grade monster and alien invasion movies, I offer for this week "Always Watch the Skies". #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 4: Up

Rule of Thirds #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 "The Only Trace" - bird tracks in beach sand, taken near Sorrento Beach, Western Australia, near sunset.

"Summer? Winter??" #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 curated by  Andrew Willard , Iain Harley and  Tiina Niskanen Weekly Photo Project 2013 Week 2: Winter / Summer While the East Coast of Australia roasts and burns, alternating heatwave and violent storms on the West Coast have sculpted the beaches into their winter shapes. On this day a powerful Southerly wind came up late in the day, creating a scene of summer temperatures with winter seas. Taken at Floreat Beach, Perth.

Week 1 - New Year A newly budding flower, bringing hope for a new year. #weeklyphotoproject2013   curated by Andrew Willard  , Iain Harley  and Tiina Niskanen  Weekly Photo Project 2013

My best photos of the year. So far, that is.  I still have most of the photos from October-December to go through from our road/kayak trip through the Great Southern and South-West of Western Australia. #mybest2012   #WeeklyPhotoProject2013 Pinging the Weekly Photo Project 2013  curators Tiina Niskanen , Andrew Willard  and Iain Harley
