         		 Rita and Peter were both were very ill and once they recovered they decided to start enjoying ourselves before the end arrives. They would go to various clubs around Sydney and saw people singing karaoke and thought we could do better than that. So they did for over 15 years. Both have recently passed away. : by karaoke, Views[151]
     
    Paula loves the whole bravado of karaoke singing.: by karaoke, Views[145]
         		 Doctors by day Stars by night. Singing and dancing is second nature. The Poorun’s often have nights where friends come over for a night of Hindi karaoke.: by karaoke, Views[139]
         		 Quang and Ngoc are regulars at the Cabra -Vale Diggers Club multicultural night on Monday. They sing love songs because they are usually slow and easy to sing but it also reminds them of when they were young.: by karaoke, Views[147]
         		 Mina and Phan practice singing before going to the club every Saturday night to sing Karaoke. Phan started singing when his wife passed away to help him with his pain. Mina has been singing from a child and would regularly sing in nursing homes.: by karaoke, Views[146]
         		 Mid-week ocean peelers as local surfers tried to get amongst the amazing waves on offer. Try stay alert though, as everyone is trying to get a piece of the action! I had to climb down a mini cliff of rocks as the tide came in to get into position for this beauty, well worth it.: by paulygee, Views[193]
     
    The day is just starting and surfers alike are already in the water patiently waiting for a chance at that perfect ride. Heading out into the breakers is a stand up paddle boarder trying to navigate his way as the surprisingly harsh sun rises from beneath the clouds.: by paulygee, Views[191]
         		 This to me personally, is one of my very favourite shots. A completely original shot (as you can see from my horizon) I did of north Burleigh as a long exposure looking towards the southern end point where my other shots are taken from. This shot puts into perspective the raw and natural beauty around this area, and begins to show why it is so loved by the community around these parts. : by paulygee, Views[178]
         		 A calming moment in time to take in the early morning sunrise. I frantically tried to get down to the waters edge and into position to capture this one as heavy clouds swept across the city skyscrapers of Surfers Paradise in the background.: by paulygee, Views[606]
         		 Whilst down at Burleigh on a lovely busy Sunday afternoon of sun and sea. I captured this little surfer dude trying to sneak up and scare the seagulls nearby, as soon as he did his hands were up for cover and he ran like crazy, typical. This image tells a good story by itself and is a good reflection of the community and family culture around Burleigh Heads.: by paulygee, Views[184]
         		 In my dark times, there is always a ray of hope which i had in myself.: by mathantheepetti, Views[238]
     
    A Window into the world of others - As my journey wraps up, travelling from station to station i realise what I love most about, train stations is the chance it provides to just capture a glimpse into the lives of others as we pass and move along with ours.: by andrewphan, Views[131]
         		 This way up - My Journey continues from station to station, i'm constantly reminded of the grit and strength that this city is built on.: by andrewphan, Views[154]
         		 The Pillars of Society - As I continue my journey I arrive at the 23rd Street Station. A lone figure stands leaning against the pylon holding up the city, keeping it from falling down. : by andrewphan, Views[166]
         		 No place like home - The trains rattle rattle by the 33rd Street Station, his hand drops down as I stand next to him. His body slumped over, I can hear him snoring away, the air around him intoxicated with the smell of beer.: by andrewphan, Views[154]
         		 Buddhism is not only about your journey through current, active life, but it also creates a sense of calm and reassurance about your after life (Amitabha Buddha). Providing confidence, tranquility and foresight (Li-Bu-Wei Buddha), wealth and fulfillment (Tuo-Pao Buddha), grounding, inner beauty and sincerity (Miao-Se-Shen Buddha) and finally calmness and purity of the mind to keep clarity of situations (Gan-Lu-Wang Buddha). Could each person retain the lessons of Buddha on their journey? : by nards, Views[934]
     
    The five Buddha's of Confidence, Longevity, Wisdom, Inner Beauty and Peace, grace the shrine(L to R). Showing that everyone can achieve Buddhahood, 10,000 smaller Buddha's bear witness to this temple. The steps at the front of the Main Shrine symbolise your journey of enlightenment. You cannot be given it, you have to earn it. This could possibly take several lifetimes, but each step should be steady and be taken by yourself. The harmonious chanting ceremony lasts for 30 minutes.: by nards, Views[614]
         		 The drum begins to sound, representing the elements of wind, rain & thunder. Beating in vary in speeds to illustrate each of the elements. The gong is used first to awaken everyone gently and the drum is used evoke the energies for the days activities. This welcoming of the day sounds for 15 minutes, every day. After the reverends have gathered at the hall entry, with the attendees inside, it is time to enter the Main Shrine. : by nards, Views[149]
         		 As dawn breaks, the first sound of the day is a woodblock being knocked at the front of the ascending stairs to the Main Shrine. Then, the sound of the Morning Gong echos through the temple. This gong is sounded 108 times, in lots of 18 and at various speeds. As 108 is considered to be an auspicious number. It is also said that the sentient beings have worries, 108 of them. The gong is used to evoke these in everyone and remove the 108 karmas. Then the morning drum begins to beat... : by nards, Views[167]

    A dog leaves a trail of paw prints after a morning walk when the tide is low in South Townsville. People and pets alike enjoy the city’s average of 320 days of sunshine a year especially in areas like this where dogs can run around freely and dig to their heart’s content. : by anncorvera, Views[579]
         		 Beaches can easily get crowded but for a coastal city with a low population density (like most of Queensland) heading off to one like The Strand is more about communing with the noise of nature and sights of serenity, with coastal birds frolicking in the sand and water, as a seagull basks in low tide during winter. : by anncorvera, Views[387]
         		 Seawater sparkles under the midday sun behind a chain that encloses the edge of The Strand Park in Townsville, a city in the northern part of Queensland, Australia. While the city shares its name with a fictitious setting of an animated series (the “Powerpuff Girls”, if you haven’t guessed it yet), its way of life is more laid-back than animated, with parks, beaches and riversides everywhere as natural destinations for rest and recreation.: by anncorvera, Views[694]
