The Majestic One

This is the view from the aptly named Olifants Camp (translated as 'Elephant Camp') in the Kruger National Park. This fellow was lazily grazing with no stress and all the time in the world.

I drove on the M1 Freeway tonight and was happy to be a passenger and not the driver, affording me the opportunity to snap a few pictures of a lovely sunset. This one has the Australian Outback Spectacular venue in the foreground. I would have preferred to set up the tripod to get a sharper image, but was happy with this shot given that it was taken while driving.

Joy Exhuberant

If plants were emotion, I think these flowers would be exuberant joy. I was walking from the client's the office in Melbourne when I passed these colourful flower boxes.

Hold On Little Fella!

This bug was flying from one flower to the next gathering nectar, buzzing quite loudly.

Flight Status: DELAYED

Melbourne airport, on my way home...tonight hopefully. I took this picture in the Virgin Lounge.

Superjumbo

This is the magnificent Airbus A380. It was taken from some distance in low light so not the best clarity, but it still shows how impressive this aircraft is.

For Sale

For Sale: a boat, a car and a...WHAT??

I was driving through Pimpama on the Gold Coast when I passed the Broken Spoke Saloon. I always thought it was just a bar where the locals met for a drink, but apparently they sell anything, including a hearse themed station wagon.

Inner Beauty

It's what's on the inside that counts, right? I bet this warthog has a really nice personality...

While implementing a new IT system in the Kruger National Park Shops we stayed in the staff village. I went for an early morning walk before work and came across this warthog who eyed me closely before trotting off into the bushes. I think only a mother can love a face like that! :)

Storms In Africa

I saw this stunning cloud formation as I was driving to the Kruger National Park a few years ago. Beautiful, isn't it? It makes me think of the lovely song Enya sings, Storms in Africa.
