where art collides philosoperontap

This one is from a trip I made to the japanese gardens in Toowoomba, QLD, Australia.

The botanical gardens there have a few themed areas, my favourite is definitely the Japanese section, I hope this image illustrates why.

Toowoomba is a more regional town in the drier parts of Queensland, they must have a very good watering system as it always looks lovely and green.

As I have mentioned before I visit France regularly. When I do, my destination is usually Sancerre.

My best friend, who as since passed away, moved there from Australia when we were both teenagers and became a winemaker.

I still visit his family there and always have a good time.

This is my favourite photograph of Sancerre, It makes a good wallpaper for my computer to remind me of the good times.

Another one from my recent holiday.

I’m not a religious man by any means, but I’ve never been one to let a visit to an old chapel, church or cathedral pass me by.

Today’s entry is from the small chapel on St. Michael’s Mount. It’s a relatively new sculpture, but still a timeless and powerful image. St. Michael himself defeating Lucifer.

It would be rude of me not to credit the sculptress, Lyn Maxwell.

Wonderful view of part of Liverpool from the Maritime Museum. It’s a great blend of the historic and the modern.
