Camouflage

A shrub in Hastings Street tries it's level best to look like a lady in a green top.

Sheraton

No matter how out of step with the local architectural vernacular it may be, the Sheraton Noosa has some lovely ice-cream cakey for the enjoyment of those of us who look out for that sort of thing.

Another Sun Hood

I just love the way that steel turns to shadow and then reflection.  It's all so obvious in a photograph, yet many people seem to miss the poetry as they wander past looking at the dresses in the shops below!

Communication

To ensure your mobile communication bits don't intrude, paint them a colour named after a fish, like for instance, salmon, and stand back and admire how invisible they've become.

National Dress

I'm sure if Australia was to declare an official national dress, the thong would be pretty much it.

Primary Industry

Around every corner, down every alleyway and on every bank and cafe, there is a surfer barrelling towards a footpath.

It's not hard to guess what might be the principal industry in Noosa!

Consistency

I am always bemused at they who spend many thousands of dollars on hand carved shop fittings, then cover up their own expensive branding with a bit of computer printout urging me not to enjoy myself.

Protest

In a sea of bikinis, it seemed odd to see someone so over dressed.

"Stop what?" I thought with a smirk.

ATM

The ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) looks strangely like a girl in a bikini.  Well I suppose this is Noosa, and most things look like a girl in a bikini after a while!

Noosa Retail

This is either a collection of mannequins on display in Hastings Street, or a convention of headless persons.   I asked them, but had no response.

Vista 3

Even when the view was framed with hard man-made surfaces, the hint of green beyond reminded me I was in Hastings Street!

Vista 2

The smaller the courtyard, the taller the palm it seems.   I had not noticed them before, because the trees were much smaller, the green less intense, the building edges more visible.

Vista

While wandering the streets of Noosa as I have done often in the past, I suddenly became aware of all the strange little courtyards and light wells filled with palms.   The more I looked the more I found.

Mummies

The pair of green aliens stand mummified outside a real estate agent's office, waiting for a mothership that will never come.

Through the fence

The fence is barely adequate, repairs may not last another summer, now only every second board remains.  Strangely the Dracena's beyond are new plantings, strange because they wen't out of fashion a decade or two ago.

Everything old is new again.  Next it will be the fence's turn!

More offices, Noosaville

In the heart of what might pass for the stockbroking belt, amidst the tallest pandanus roots I've seen, another office lurks.

Offices

Noosaville offices,   I just love the strength of the pergola shadows, and the amazing verticality of the palms.

Signs of the times

Even in Noosa's Hastings Street there are signs that not all retailers are doing well.
Tenancy for lease.

Umbrella

I think this photograph is more about just getting a big red blob on the page than anything else.

Challenge

I have risen to the challenge of photographing reflective things.  Here, I am hiding behind a post, with camera barely visible, perhaps had I hopped into the bin I could have disappeared entirely.

A quick prayer

I thought at first he was offering a quick prayer, perhaps asking for protection of all of that bare skin should the inevitable occur, but then I realised he was just sending a text.

Deep Shadow

As regular visitors to this blog will be aware, we have lots of bright sunshine here (when it isn't raining) and with that comes deep shadow.   With the deep shadow comes an exaggerated colour beyond, and a the merest skip of a heartbeat as one wonders what lurks between here and the sea!

Watching and waiting

I often sit on this very bench, watching the sun come up, the stars appear, the ships passing in the night or at any other time for that matter.

I am never alone.

Oysters

On most rocks which are subjected to immersion with each tide, there are signs of oysters, often just scars where they have been.    I've often wondered what sort of desperate person would split the shells to get to the animal within, when the rocks are near all manner of nasty outfall.

It was only a few minutes before taking this photo that the obvious occurred to me as I watched a bird (an Oyster Catcher as it happened) attacking the shells!

Under Tooway

A few days before this photo was taken, we had had 380mm (yes that is roughly fifteen inches) of rain in a few hours, and the creek was a raging torrent well above the level of the footbridge.

The shadows at low tide just seemed so safe in contrast!

Tranquility

We don't quite live on the beach, but if we go to the end of our driveway, stand on tippy toes and squint through a loooong lens, on a clear day, we can see the beach!

If you want some tranquility, I'm afraid you'll have to walk to the other side of those trees, and sit beside the water!
