“Falling” 🍁 🍁 🍂
Travelling around New Zealand at this time of year can be so beautiful, just a simple driveway can become a magical sight. I just wanted to run down here kicking the up the leaves like a child again. .

"Look Up"
If you have ever walked through a nature park in Australia and looked up... you will often see spiders with huge webs across paths. They are commonly the (relatively) harmless orb-weaver spider.

"Dinner"
Carpet snakes are apparently quite common around Queensland. This guy was just hiding in the bushes and looking at me as I was walking through the botanic gardens. He wasnt going anywhere though as he is quite full after probably eating a possum… https://t.co/F663NPzNQK

"Skyscrapers"
There are no shortage of skyscrapers in the Gold Coast, with all of the major apartment blocks right on the beach.

Walking aliog South Bank at night you will come across many things including this open air pavilion and creative space called Flowstate. You can relax under the changing lights and watch the performers on stage near by. Mesmerising.

"Birefringence Skyline"
Sometimes as a photographer you get accidental bad shots that are actually quite nice. This is shot through the tempered glass of the Wheel of Brisbane with the stress in the glass is causing the colour shifts.
