    Halfway through the day a sandstorm kicks up.: by christiancasimir, Views[827]

    The Dawn of Dusk.: by loreana, Views[236]
         		 The sun sets, glowing between two peaks of The Dolomites.: by lize86, Views[172]
         		 Dusk settles, providing a warm backdrop for the snow capped peaks at Rifugio Lagazuoi.: by lize86, Views[246]
         		 Suddenly the sky is awash with birds gliding over the mountains, bisected by a single condensation trail. At Rifugio Lagazuoi.: by lize86, Views[217]
         		 A lone bird soars over the snow capped peaks of the Dolomites at Rifugio Lagazuoi, capturing the feeling of being all alone and on top of the world.: by lize86, Views[251]
     
    Brisbane, Aust: The Treasury Building, completed in 1928, has now been converted to a casino in 1995. Each phase of construction (there were 3 phases) uses a different type of sandstone. The red flood lights surround the building highlighting it against the rest of the city. Or are they using the psychology of colour to get you to enter or leave the building 'in the red' (in debt): by newhome, Views[396]
         		 A shack sits on the mountainside, isolated and dwarfed by a relatively small peak on the Dolomites, near Campitello.: by lize86, Views[186]
         		 The Opera House has never looked so cheeky.: by glennwith2ns, Views[240]
         		 Brisbane, Aust: Wheel of Brisbane providing great views of the night skyline. At 60 metres high it provides a great panorama of the Brisbane skyline. I will have to take a ride at night to see as I have seen it during the day. The movement of the wheel can provide possible excitement or the ride or nausea for those scared of heights. : by newhome, Views[533]
         		 The two icons of Sydney were inseparable on this night.: by glennwith2ns, Views[262]
     
    Downriver at the Picnic Point Boatshed: by l_wright, Views[531]
         		 A lone figure casts a long shadow as they take in the awe of the city.: by glennwith2ns, Views[285]
         		 The city was bursting with colours at the Sydney Arts fetival. : by glennwith2ns, Views[270]
         		 Brisbane, Aust: Flowing traffic of cars and buses between Brisbane and Southbank cultural hub looking towards the city and the Treasury building. It was a quite night as the State of Origin rugby league game between Queensland and New South Wales was occurring at the time (QLD won to level the series 1-1): by newhome, Views[386]
         		 Brisbane, Aust: While waiting for the traffic lights to change as I continued home, I noticed the external lights of QPAC and realised that they mirror the internal seating layout. The taller lights matched the balconies and stalls which flowed down towards the stage.: by newhome, Views[512]
     
    Dive boat about to berth in the marina at Nelson Bay: by jim_dodd, Views[235]
         		 Meeting the island locals. The Critically Endangered Grey Nurse Shark.: by jim_dodd, Views[295]
         		 A diver getting wrecked with a friend on the SS Oakland.: by jim_dodd, Views[287]
         		 A regular winter visitor the Humpback whale is sighted.: by jim_dodd, Views[288]
         		 Who knows what you'll find when you stray from the path?: by ryansmith, Views[249]
     
    Nearing the end of a beautiful day.: by ryansmith, Views[321]
         		 Sometimes you have to search to find a better view. : by ryansmith, Views[206]
         		 One of many views on the seemingly endless road. : by ryansmith, Views[211]
         		 Walk through the gardens and along the river, to view the scenic Story Bridge: by allisonsquires, Views[269]
         		 Makeshift sleeping arrangements. Nowhere near civilisation. : by ryansmith, Views[229]
     
    Gardens paths lead to trellises dripping with flowers like a fairy wonderland : by allisonsquires, Views[291]
         		 Follow the warmth and light up the steps from the river to the botanic gardens: by allisonsquires, Views[256]
         		 Curving purple pathways along Southbank; My favorite place in Brisbane: by allisonsquires, Views[366]
         		 A floating sidewalk along the river, making the Brisbane city seem far away: by allisonsquires, Views[349]
         		 After a long day, Ski Patrol and Mountain Operations Snowmobiles are parked in a row and lit from the loading dock of the main building in Perisher's Front Valley. The main car park can also be seen in the backgound to the left along with the SkiTube terminal in the central background.: by jamespresneill, Views[328]
     
    Architectural lines frame the main building of Perisher Resort's Front Valley after closing time. This section of walkway is the main throughfare from the car park to ski hire, lift ticket sales and the beginner ski lifts. During the day, hundreds of snowboards and skis will line the racks along either side of this corridor of high activity.: by jamespresneill, Views[375]
         		 The 9pm SkiTube arrives at Front Valley of Perisher Ski Resort. Due to the cost of living 'on snow' most staff and guests live or stay in the nearby town of Jindabyne so the SkiTube has limited use after the ski slopes have closed and eveyone has returned to Jindabyne.: by jamespresneill, Views[1159]
         		 A lone 'Snow Cat' grooms the slopes after lifts have closed at Front Valley of Perisher Ski Resort, Kosciuszko National Park, AUSTRALIA. 2013 has seen a slow start to the snow season, relying heavily on man made snow and cloud seeding to boost snow depth for consumers.: by jamespresneill, Views[778]
         		 Brisbane, Aust: After attending a seminar and heading home I was struck by the design symmetry and thought involved for the hall dividers in the Exhibition Centre. Without looking up you are able to see all the entrances for the halls plus other required information. I was amazed at the depth of thought that was put into the design to improve the experience for people attending any exhibits.: by newhome, Views[281]
         		 At night, the foreshore turns into a skate park populated by youth: by lisag_13, Views[775]
     
    Kid and puppies, playing late at night after a scorching hot day: by lisag_13, Views[200]
         		 Christmas tree reflected in the window that houses the old carousel : by lisag_13, Views[236]
         		 Restored boats resting in the marina.: by lisag_13, Views[193]
         		 Lover's seats overlooking the blue bay on splendid day.: by lisag_13, Views[221]
         		 Taking a break on the shore: by l_wright, Views[382]
     
    We subconsciously link terms such as ‘pristine’ to our imaginings of Australia’s world famous coast and deny – or are simply oblivious to – the devastating reality of our own poor waste disposal procedures. What I'd hoped to capture was not the crystal seas and golden sands that we depart to when we daydream, but the actuality of its true, current state.
         		 The Kurnell Oil Refinery provides a backdrop against La Perouse, a popular family beach which also harbours local native bird species such as gulls, herons and pelicans of whose typical diet derives from the sea. Not only does the refinery release a range of pollutants into the air including Sulphur Dioxide, but it also releases waste to ocean drains in the surrounding waters. In heavy rain, oily substances can be seen flowing into Botany Bay, creating a temporary ‘slick’ on the surface.: by zoeaarcher, Views[1947]
         		 I am often bewildered by the things that can be found having been flushed out of the drains from the gutters of streets surrounding. In a troubling way their assortment can sometimes create a colourful, abstract sight of which is, perhaps, part of the reason we subconsciously turn our heads to the concern at hand. I barely turn an eye towards the fragments of glass that have been weathered by the sea for so long that they, as the waste seen here, eventually become a part of the natural landscape. In the near future will our children be building castles of sand or of our generation’s garbage? : by zoeaarcher, Views[958]
         		 As I gaze out along the entire surface of the sea where the waves crash in on the shore, countless plastic bottles, cans and other trash create a black sludge-like body of debris that churns and toils in the chaos caused by a large storm. : by zoeaarcher, Views[1022]
         		 A Silver Gull fruitlessly paces the shoreline in search of something edible, finding nothing but cigarette butts, weathered segments of Styrofoam packaging and whatever other plastic and processed remnants of garbage are flushed out of the storm water drains into the sea. Each piece of which it first tastes before determining, hopefully, that it will not be able to and should not attempt to digest. I fear greatly for those organisms who are unable to differentiate between what should and should not be eaten, or those whose hunger has precedence over their decision making.: by zoeaarcher, Views[1007]
