This weeks Weekly Photo Challenge prompt is ephemeral. Ephemeral means short lasting and sunsets are definitely short-lasting. And this one was simply gorgeous.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh
One of the recent photo challenges from WordPress was Fresh. I love fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers. I find myself wanting to cook from scratch rather than buying processed foods such as dips and marinades. I always have some fresh basil on hand to add to my cooking.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall
The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge for March 13th was Wall. This photo is of Melbourne Town Hall’s Christmas projection. Each loop rang for eight minutes. It was very spectacular.
Melbourne is well-known for it’s street art. Although it is still shunned in many areas, in Hosier Lane it is embraced. It’s the sort of place you need to visit regularly because it changes every few weeks.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Rule of Thirds (3)
I took this photo yesterday at the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix yesterday in Melbourne. The Roulettes fly over every year and do a series of acrobatic moves. The beautiful blue sky provided the perfect background.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Rule of Thirds
Highfield House, Stanley, Tasmania. This wing of the house contains the kitchen on the ground level and the staff quarters upstairs. The house was built in the 1830’s when Australia was still very young.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale
I took this photo on our recent cruise to Tasmania. I’d love to know how many hundreds of metres long it is. When I was tired it felt like it was a lot longer than it actually is.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Depth
I took this photo on a recent cruise on the Dawn Princess. Our stateroom was a fair way down the hall so it felt like we had to do a lot of walking to get to the stairs and elevators. One day I turned around and realised how long it actually was so I decided to take a couple of photos. This photo doesn’t even show the full length of the hallway.
Weekly Photo challenge: Serenity
I love sitting on the beach looking back over water to a city. In this case we were at East Point Reserve in Darwin looking back to the town centre. The beach was deserted so it was lovely and serene.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Warmth (Darwin Harbour)
Ok, I know I’m a little late but here’s my entry. I mentally chose this photo when I first saw the prompt but haven’t had a chance to post it.
The gorgeous shades of orange cry warmth to me. It was taken on a very warm night in Darwin last May.
Weekly Photo challenge: Converge
Crowds converging on a sports stadium in Melbourne. Thousands of people (including me) were walking from the train station to the ground.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Descent
Florence Falls was the first of three waterfalls we visited during our tour of Litchfield National Park. It is a beautiful double waterfall with a waterhole at the base where you can swim, safe in the knowledge there are no crocodiles around.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime
The White Night festival is still in its infancy in Melbourne. This year was only the second time it has been held. However it has become one of the most popular. Held in the 3rd week of February when Summer is just past its peak, the nights are normally warm which encourages more people to join in. Scenes are projected on to many buildings, there are laser displays and live music and dance all around the city and Yarra River.
This year it was on the same night as a Melbourne Victory game at AAMI Park so we walked the short distance to see what it was all about. It is so crowded it is best to stay on the outskirts of the city where you can see and enjoy more.
Here is one of my photos from the night.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin
Taking photos of sunsets is one of my favourite things at any time of year but the most spectacular ones occur during Summer.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Relic
I saw this boat just seemingly dumped beside a building on Norfolk Island. It’s definitely a relic of the past.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrast
I love the contrast between the blue sky and the red/brown desert of Australia.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Between
I’m always fascinated when I see trees growing out of rocks and cliffs and there were examples everywhere at Katherine Gorge, Northern Territory.

Weekly photo challenge: Room
The Old Darwin Town Hall Ruins were originally built in 1883 during the Pine Creek gold rush. This building earlier survived the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese during WWII, only to be eventually destroyed by Cyclone Tracy 30 years later. Heritage listed, the Darwin Town Hall Ruins are all that remain today constructed in 1882.
Nowadays the ruins are used to house theatre performance. It is now one giant room that provides a backdrop for open-air theatre.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Work of Art
I love sculptures and I want to share some of them with you that I’ve taken photos of over the last year or so.
Weekly Photo Challenge: On the move
I took these photos a few weeks ago at the Melbourne v Swans game at the MCG. I think they are perfect for this challenge.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring (3)
Here’s my final contribution to last weeks photo challenge. I could easily post a flower photo every day of the year.
The thought of all these lovely flowers blooming again in the next 3-4 months will help me get through Winter which is looming large on the horizon.
