Tasmania 3

On Saturday we went on a 3h hike, up and down through a forest with beautiful trees and bushes of which most still seem very foreign to me. It felt so good to be out of the city, breathe the fresh air. I wish we could go down to Tasmania a lot more often. This is one of my favourite photos of the hike. Have a great Friday everyone, Maria

Tasmania 2

The weather was constantly changing while we were in Tasmania. In the mornings it was often cloudy and you could tell that the sun was hiding behind all the clouds as there was this still this magical light coming through them. Here are some photos of our 3h hike we did on the Saturday.

Thanks for all your comments on my last post. There are many more photos to come.

Tasmania

Tasmania is a jewel and I fell in love with this island when we first went in November 2011. Back then we went on a day trip to Bruny Island which is an island south of Hobart. As we liked it so much there we decided to stay a whole long weekend on this island this time.
We stayed in a little cottage close to the water in the middle of nowhere, it was so quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed it so much. It was one of the four most relaxing days I had a in a long time. I read two books, ate fantastic food, hiked up and down hills, through the beautiful bush landscape, collected native Australian flowers, went for evening swims, beach walks, spoke to locals and just had the most fantastic time there.
The nature in Tasmania is so incredible beautiful. On our hikes or driving around the island I adored the many colours of bushes, flowers, grass and  form of trees.
I took lots of photos and I hope you are ready for a few posts about this trip :)

Fairlight Tidal Pool - Manly Sydney

We are back from our trip to Tasmania and it was truly amazing. I will hopefully get the films I shot developed within the next couple days so I will be able to show you some photos of this beautiful island.

Here are some photos of the Fairlight Tidal Pool in Manly. It was a beautiful Sunday morning when I took these photos and some elder men came to swim their laps.

I hope you are not getting bored by all these pool photos, only a couple more to go

Hope you are well,

Andrew Boy Charlton Pool - Sydney

In the morning

afternoon:






The Andrew Boy Charlton Pool is one of my favourite Pools here in Sydney. It is only a 10 minutes bike ride away from our apartment which is why I love to go before work (when some get their morning swim lessons) or after work on a hot Summer day or late in the afternoon on the weekend when most of the sun-bathers have left and the lanes are all empty to swim laps. But it is also great to bring a towel and books to just relax in the sun while the big ships are lying behind you in the harbour.

We are off to Tasmania tomorrow to spend four days on this lovely island. We will stay on Bruny Island this time and I look really forward to some quiet time, good food and beautiful nature.

I just got two rolls of films developed and there will be more to come after this weekend and I look forward to showing them to you.
